Hi fellow anglers, fishing enthusiasts and AMFisHers! This blog post is titled Pike gone wild and it’s a good title for my most recent day of fishing this past weekend. I was out at a local conservation lake targeting largemouth bass and was planning on doing some pike fishing as well, but the bass were nowhere to be found. The water was very calm all day, with very little wind so I knew the fishing might be tough but it was actually the opposite fish were feeding all day lo

Hi fellow anglers, fishing enthusiasts and AMFishers, this blog post is about the tin can that started my massive passion for fishing! Who knew a tin can filled with some spinnerbaits could have that massive of an affect on me as a youngster, but it sure did! I grew up with parents who were not very into the outdoors outside a couple of camping trips per year, so I am pretty sure fishing and the outdoors was just part of who I was and who I wanted to be in life. After having

Hi fellow anglers, fishing enthusiasts and AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(Visit today: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about top water fishing and what times are the best to catch fish on top water baits. As many of you may think early morning is the best time to catch fish on top water baits, but that is not really the case as you can actually catch fish throughout the day as well. No granted using top water baits as soon as the sun starts to rise is always a good time of day,

Hi fellow fishing enthusiasts, anglers and AMFisHers, you have probably heard me talk about water safety many times before and I am touching on it again as I got caught in a furious storm this past weekend, that came out of nowhere. When I got on the water it was slightly windy and sunny, blue skies with several white clouds. The chance of storms was 30%, which explained why the day was not bad, until it all changed very quickly right out of the blue. This intense sky engulfi

Hi AMFisHers! This blog post is the full story of my recent two day 2017 musky opener fishing trip. The trip started Saturday June 3rd as that is when musky season officially opened in the area I decided to fish. This is a lake I have fished for many years now and have caught some muskies here in the past. I know the lake very well and know a lot of great musky spots, but my biggest challenge this season was musky fishing out of a kayak. Musky fishing is already a challenge i

Musky season opener is not far off now! Anyone else into hunting for these big boys and girls? Be sure to stay tuned to my social pages as I will be heading out for a 2 day musky fishing adventure in just over a week, on a great little lake that holds some BEAST’S! This is a fall musky catch from 2 years ago, very long fish that was not carrying a lot of body weight for it’s overall length. This illusive fish species has intrigued a different side of the fisherman that I am,

Hi fellow AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more here: http://www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is some great footage I caught of a top water bass fight that I thought would use as a video to talk about how to land fish much easier with limited stress and issues arising. I have always done my best to not handle any fish I catch too much, with the #1 rule being to always wet my hands really well before grabbing a fish to eliminate removing the protective slime. As you will see in

Hi AMFisHers! I have been working on this blog post for the last several weeks, as it is a key part to why many anglers and fellow #AMFisHers out there are not catching as many fish as they should be. This blog post is about understanding how to stay on a fish bite for an extended period of time. What I mean by this is many anglers with catch a fish on a spot, stay a little longer with no bites then move off the spot. Well this is where the mistake has been made, taking time

Hi AMFisHers! This week AMFisH(LEARN more: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is a short video about how to approach fishing a new shoreline. When it comes to fishing shorelines you has fished before and new shorelines the rule of thumb in most cases stays the same. When you approach a shoreline you want to start fishing, I always recommend starting with a very high confidence bait you love fishing! Now you might ask why, well it’s simple the second we as AMFisHers start using a bai

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more here: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about jumping out of the normal way of doing things and tipping regular baits with soft plastics. There are baits we use regularly that we add soft plastic trailers to for more action and scent, BUT there are some other baits that many people may never think about tipping with soft plastics, which I discuss in this video. There are various reasons for tipping a regular bait with a soft plastic bai

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more here: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about fishing structure at dusk. You don’t always need to get to the lake for 5am, as fish are always eating, yes there are fish always eating somewhere on the lake, it’s not like they have a gathering to eat together! Considering dusk is my most favorite time to fish because most people have left for the day and it’s a nice low key wrap up to a fishing day. But having said that I have caught many

Hi AMFisHers! I have shared numerous fishing stories with the world and have enjoyed doing so over the years, as I am a true believer that through someones stories there is always something be gained by everyone. This specific fishing story is about my biggest northern pike catch ever, that was one of the most exciting fish fights I have ever experienced! As you may or may have not read about in previous posts some close life long friends and I have done a boys fishing week t

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about heading out of fishing outings with minimal tackle and the benefits of doing so: As anglers I know many of us feel a lot more comfortable heading out with every rod and bait we have, BUT getting outside that comfort level can really make you that much more of a better angler! I do this from time to time on some lakes I fish on a lot as well as the occasional new lake I fish, as the challenge itse

Hi fellow AMFisHers! Remember to put safety first once ice fishing season starts. I know many of you love to fish as much as I do, but please take the proper precautions when it comes to evaluating if the ice conditions are safe enough to enjoy some fishing. This chart cant be any more clearer than it is, SAFETY FIRST = staying alive. Charts like this are pretty easy to find on the internet, so pass them around after you have taken the time to review it, that way everyone get

Hi fellow AMFisHers! I am sure many of your are getting ready for some January ice fishing, which is why I am writing this post. With so many different baits on the market for summer fishing and ice fishing it’s never easy deciding on what to buy and use, that will result in catching fish on your outings. Thought I would share two very simple looking baits that work very well for me while ice fishing. The first bait is the Johnson Thin Fisher – Johnson Fishing, which is the b
