This week on Extreme Angler TV we`re back on the Kawartha Lakes system in Southern Ontario in early June looking for some early summer walleye on deeper weedlines.

This week on Extreme Angler TV the topic is "Does color make a difference when it comes to topwater fishing for bass". A heavily debated topic over the years by many who swear by certain color baits on specific bodies of water. With so many options of topwater bait to choose from including weedless Snag Proof frogs, poppers, buzzbaits, walking style baits and everything else in between, cho

Some people say they are the easiest form of cover to fish for largemouth bass. More people believe big bass harbour around boat docks from time to time. I agree, but only if you know how to fish them right, big difference.

Recently, we went outside of our box and fished at what is considered one of the best Trophy Bass Lakes on the west coast. It's called Diamond Valley Lake (DVL).

Day two of the LBAA Tournament on Tennessee's Old Hickory Lake turned out to be a tougher day of fishing following the front that moved in on day one.

  Day one of the LBAA tournament on Old Hickory Lake began with a bang as a thunderstorm rolled in to begin the launch. A day of rain and over cast skies on a lake filled with floating debris, the ladies showed their determination and skill by returning to the weigh in with several limits and several large bass in their live-wells. Each angler had story to tell at the weigh in of

A few weeks back, the Bass bite suddenly shut down at the lake we fish. No one could seem to figure out why. We saw tournament anglers coming off the lake with 3, 4, 5 fish for the day. One thing I had been noticing is that most people are using the latest and greatest baits. In our experience, fish "learn" and they remember. So seeing the same baits all the time with the same presentation could

    I was recently using one of the new Kinchou Minnows from Matzuo.  While I was targeting walleye this smallmouth happened to take the lure at Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton, Colorado.  This fish had a crawfish lodged in behind its gills and the only thing sticking out happened to be its claws.  The action of this lure + the color = the reason why I feel this fish too

I hear it all the time from visiting anglers how do you get these fish to bite? The chain can be a tough nut to crack and although it looks fishy everywhere the bass can be concentrated into one specific area.

Walleye fishing methods have changed dramatically since anglers discovered the flexibility of crankbaits. Twenty years ago, an angler would never think of trolling a minnow-imitating lure for early season walleye. Angling lore said that was almost crazy. Also, the thought of going out over very deep water, tying a plastic-lipped minnow imitator onto the line and adding two ounces of lead wo

When it comes to fishing in very clear water, the thing to remember is that fish have an excellent sense of sight and depend heavily on it to be able to feed. Fishing in clear water can be a difficult task, as fish who can clearly see a boat hovering over them are likely to spook and swim for cover. There are, however, some great techniques to remember when trying to catch fish in clear water, su

Its that time of year summer is over and some people are putting there rods away. The best way to keep your rod from drying up is to put baby oil on it rub it down with rag and then redo it one more time in the spring. That will not make your rod dry out. And it will last longer and it will save you money on a long run.

Millerton Lake has the most healthy bass out of all the lakes in its area, They eat night crawlers,crawdads, minnows,rats,snakes,and they go crazy for top waters because the noise drives them crazy.

The Bluefin Tuna is one amazing smart fish. As a fisher I have never had such an adrenelin rush when being aboard a tuna boat when this massive fish takes your bait.
