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.

June 12, 2013 my Grandson and I were fishing with live croaker on the Laguna Madre at Port Mansfield, Texas.  The first bait I put on my hook was almost dead, so I changed it out for a very lively one and got a massive bite after a couple of minutes.  I let it have a couple of feet of line and then set the hook. My rod doubled over and the line started leaving the reel.  After a tr

   Fishermen control two of the most important factors of a presentation with depth and speed control. One lure that these two factors have the greatest influence on is a crankbait. If not presented at the depth that the fish are holding it can be difficult to get a bite unless the bass are very active. Getting the lure into the strike zone is just as important as making a prefect cast

    This past winter while in Florida I was looking to shed some weight from my rod & reel. When I'm out on my kayak I make several hundred cast to the mangroves throughout the day.

  Now that the cat is out of the bag, I will share a secret bait with you that I was hoping to use in a tournament myself. I first learned of this rig while watching Timmy Horton Outdoors as he used what he called the MJ Rig. This rig is simply a Texas rigged worm with a willow blade on its tail that Timmy said that Keith Poche brought the Worm Blade to the bass fishing world's attention wit

Every year for my birthday, the family goes fishing with me.  This year was special because it was the first trip they have made on the new boat.  We headed out to North Sterling Reservoir in northern Colorado.  The lake is know for Wiper, but suffered a sever fish kill last year due to low water and oxygen levels.   It's about a two hour drive from our home and we arrived

 Trolling is a much lost art that will sometimes produce fish when all else fails. I’m a great believer of trolling for Bass and Trout on those slow days.        The one thing you got to remember before you let out all your line while trolling is to adjust the speed of your boat to the best trolling speed for conditions. A little slower in murky water and a little

Yesterday I spent a few hours at a local trib with some light tackle and an assortment of live bait and artificial. I wanted to compare results between the two on panfish. I used Gulp! Crappie Nibbles in Chartreuse from Berkley.  I had plain old garden worms I dug up from my vegetable patch and they worked extremely well. I had bites on nearly every cast and was catching blue gill,

   The harbour in Vancouver BC has an outstanding Dungeness crab fishery. One of the great things about fishing our local harbour is that before you start fishing for salmon for the day you can always drop a couple crab traps and if on some rare occasion the salmon don't show you can always count on a few crabs in your crab pots with a few keepers to take home for a crab feast !

the weather is warming up slowly.  Water temperature is coming up slowly but surely.  Free fishing weekend here brought out a lot of new anglers out.  It was great to see so many young people out enjoying the great outdoors.  I am thinking about getting a line wet in about 6 hours or so.  I will post some pics of my catch.

  My friends know that I am always looking for innovative fishing products that help people to catch bass. I share the product and how to use them in the daily tips I post on Facebook and on the Team Bilbrey Fishing web site. A few months ago, Mystery Tackle Box introduced the WackOjig to thousands of people and many of them recognized the unique innovation designed to flip the deadly

Looking for a Mexico fishing and party spot. Remember, the wife and her friends are also coming! Looking for some good bass, and saltwater fishing. Also looking for a good night life! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      Now that the post spawn bite is slowing down and the sun is heating up many anglers will become nocturnal predators just like the bass they seek. When fishing at night, target shallow gravel bars near the locations where you have found bass during the day. Also fishing drop offs and breaks near deep water. Night anglers often begin with dark colored top water lures that

My addiction to keeping bait alive is almost as much of my life as fishing.  For years I used to keep a dozen or two night crawlers in little Styrofoam boxes in the fridge in the kitchen, and for years either my mom or now my wife would yell at me for keeping such things in the kitchen.  When two dozen leeches showed up in the refrigerators crisper used for keeping vegetables I knew som

    In the warmer water of late spring and summer, the fish like a bait that is moving fast and running deep. Crankbaits allow an angler to cover a vast amount of water in a short period of time. They can be cast to precise areas of structure that are holding fish and the long bill of the deep diving models allow the lure to be cranked through cover without a snag enticing strikes

Found a great product that should be a must have for any tournament angler, The V-T2 could be a game changer for you in a tournament and gives a new meaning to fish care. Catch-n-Release fishing sometimes comes with a catch. That’s when your livewell needs to live up to its name. Interval aeration is a good start but when on-board power is already taxed by trolling, sonar and more, the ne

Weather has caused the fishing to be slow.  We have got a lot of rain that caused the water level to be very high. Water temperature has stayed cool and the bite has been slow.  I hope that it improves soon.  I will post more as it get warmer soon. So it get the bite to pick up soon.

 Many anglers resist the use of flat-sided crankbaits, and their reluctance to throw the skinny models may be affecting the bass they catch. Whether fishing deep structure by cranking or burning a bait through the shallow flats, the round, wide wobbling crankbait is just the favorite bait for those anglers that are unwilling to change tactics. Just like the lipless crankbaits are ha

I have 3 rod and reel combinations that I use, and I have a reason or application for each. The first rod I ever purchased where I actually did some research and spent some money was my first ever bait caster.

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. In this season we can catch them easily, but it depend on the anglers' skill to catch many ones. 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.

I personally recommend - sams tuna charters.com for a sucessful fishing trip.
