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. A lot of anglers can be intimidated by bright sunny days and flat calm conditions when fishing for walleye in early summer, but it doesn`t have to be this way if you pay attention to the small details of fish location, altering

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. This week on Extreme Angler TV I go thru a typical day in cottage country fishing for largemouth bass on a bright sunny day in mid summer and decide the day is going to

We`re back on top this week on Extreme Angler TV, except this time I have a few more tricks up my sleeve while filming a action packed show in the Georgian Bay region of Ontario.

There is something very special aboout fishing for smallmouth bass in the fall. The leaves are in full color, there is a lot less angling pressure and the bigger smallmouth bass are on the feedbag big time!

  Often beginners to the sport of bass fishing will fish the banks and visual cover like docks, stumps and so on. Some days this works very well, and other times they will not catch a single fish. And when they catch a bass, the next time they are on the water, they will return to the same spot, with the same lure even during a different time of day, month or season and wonder why there are

  One of the best tactics is to match your lure to the local forage the bass are eating. Match the size, color and shape of the forage as closely as you can, and it will produce bass. This is very important in clear water. In the north a tube mimics gobies very well, and in the south and Midwest with the correct color can appear as crawfish or a baitfish. Determining what the forage is and

Hello again to my fellow anglers and ambassadors, the 2013 fishing season is finally heating up here in West Virginia.  Over the past few weeks I've been chasing spawning bass around my local lake, and finally the fry have hatched and the big fish are finally biting again. We have been fighting less than perfect conditions here, seems like whenever I try to hook the boat up we encounter a

Have been hitting the tributaries of the Saginaw Bay last week. Decent numbers of fish and good variety. One day I caught 7 different species, anything in the Bay can chase bait up the rivers in the spring. Most of the catch has been White Bass, Smallies and Walleyes. I'm suprised the numbers of legal walleye still in the river this late in the year and after the epic floods we had in April.

 In late spring following the spawning activities of bass, the shad and bluegill will be spawning in relation to docks, rock ledges and riprap banks. One of the most productive baits that can cover more water quickly and stay in the strike zone longer in these areas is a crankbait. When fishing these areas boat position is a critical part of your presentation. The key to catching post

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). We had never been there before and knew that this lake was highly pressured and skunks are common. After launching and getting out on the water, a slight feeling of anxiety began to set in. I was clearly out of my comfort zone with thi

Just got back from 2 weeks fishing Kentucky Lake for the USA Bassin Nitro Classic. it was a long two weeks away from my family. However, we had a good time.

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. When Rick Clunn described the three seasons of bass, Florida had a wild card. While Clunn’s theory is pre spawn, spawn and post spawn largemouth on the chain can be overlapping i

Now that the snow is almost all gone, just wondering how everyone else is doing with catching Splake or even any other trout species. Last weekend I caught a couple nice Splake in Keweenaw county of the UP of Michigan.

mine was my 1st ever large-mouth bass- it was also my 1st trophy, shocking it was a 6 pound lg mouth with a girth of 8 inches, everyone hovered around the dock and said with all seriousness to me , "i was only 8 years old" "Son, that is the biggest fish i have ever seen out of this lake."

On 29 Apr. I went to Tsuruga, about 2 hours from central Kyoto Japan, to catch KISU, similar shape to mackerel with live worm.

It was a little windy day I caught ones constantly at first, but the harder the wind, I couldn't keep the rental small boat on the best position and it was getting difficult t

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.
