Hi fellow AMFisHers!  This is a very special AMFisH fishing vlog that is going live this week, as it is the AMFisH creation story vlog as well as my 100th video that has gone live on my YouTube channel! AMFisH goes back many years to the time when I was in the mid teens and thinking of what wanted to do for a living or what I wanted to be part of as a career, a very confusion time for me as I knew fishing was what I wanted to do but had not idea how I would get to doing it. F

Hi AMFisHers, This AMFisH daily blog post is about specific baits for specific lakes.   Over the years I have learned to have specific baits organized in individual tackle trays that I use on certain lakes. This is quite a unique strategy as you have baits in the trays that have worked well on a specific lake you fish and continue to add to that tray after each outing.   You success rate increases by a good 85%, simply due to the fact that you are using baits that have worked

Hi fellow AMFisHers!  This weeks AMFisH fishing vlog is about what colour bait to use in stained and clear waters: I have been asked on numerous occasions while fishing as to what colour to use and if colour makes a big difference.  Well it was time I shot a video on this topic as there are many variables that come into play. The rule of thumb is when the sun is out go to a bright bait that will be visible to the fish and catch lots of flash.    On the flip side during an ove

Hi fellow AMFisHers!   This AMFisH daily blog post is about engaging in fishing chats.   Fishing chats with fellow fishing people are a great way to spend some of your time! I have been part of various fishing chats on social media and on fishing forums and it’s a great way to interact/meet new people who love to talk fishing! I currently host a fishing chat on twitter that take place every Monday at 9pm Eastern time using the hashtag #justfishing.   I have met many local fis

Hello fellow AMFisHers!  I have a great vlog up this week that’s all about fishing ambush points:http://youtu.be/yT6XRZ-frSk There are so many things to focus on while fishing and it does take some time to learn then all but when it comes to fishing ambush points and understanding if you know how to do this, you can really produce some good quality catches! Now what is an ambush point?   Where do you find them?  What are you looking for?  Any hidden area can be used as an amb

Hi AMFisHers!   Well the end of the fishing season has found many of us these past couple of months and now it’s time to store all that fishing gear away until spring. Well the question here is where do you start?   If you have several fishing rods and bait trays like I do you need to do things correctly to prevent serious rust issues.   I usually bring all my trays inside when the season ends,  keeping them in a nice warm house is much better than a cold moist garage. I set

Hi AMFisHers!   Take a look at this great video I have up at AMFisH.ca this week, it’s about what to do when you have a fish follow your bait to the boat and it does not bite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rm_nmUah7x4 That almost helpless feeling we get when a big fish follows our bait right up to the side of the boat, take a good look then swims away….ugh what a horrible feeling. This will happen so it’s better to be prepared instead of not knowing

Hi fellow fishing people!   Take a look at the AMFisH fishing vlog that’s up it’s about how to position your boat in the wind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GNR_Mkk4FE&feature=player_embedded We have all fished on those crazy windy day’s and it can be difficult to find a way to fish when the wind is doing whatever it want’s with the boat.   In this vlog I discuss some things that you can do to actually use the wind to your advantage. If you position yourself right in the m

Hi AMFisHers!  This weeks AMFisH fishing vlog is about allowing your fishing your gear to do it’s job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yvxty71r1C8 This is a vlog I wanted to shoot as I have witnessed people that have fished with me that do not allow their gear to do what it is made to do. There is no need to torque with all your strength thinking you will cast further when I most cases you may actually snag something behind you and snap a rod in half.  

Hi AMFisHers!  This weeks AMFisH fishing vlog is about observing while fishing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s7bSnuBqg3s Observing while fishing has been something I have been doing since I was a little kid, not sure what it was that made me start but I was always looking along the shoreline for frogs and mice scurrying around, minnows jumping on the surface of the water, long reeds growing out of the water that were all of a sudden moving on a sti
