I always enjoy checking out the newest rods, reels, tackle and accessories. Have a read through my reviews, they are honest and unbiased.

This past week I attended the Toronto Boat Show. This is my third year in a row going, and has become a nice event I look forward too. The winter is tough for me, the cold weather, the lack of light, and of course no open water fishing mean I look for events to get […]

I’ve done several reviews in the past on various Mystery Tackle Box orders I have received and they were fun. Some I purchased, some were given to me as gifts from people who knew I loved to fish. I did stop however, because most of the tackle is really designed for Bass Anglers, and that’s […]

I like to troll. It’s one of my favourite types of fishing, so I do it a lot. Now, years ago trolling would have meant driving around in the boat for hour upon hour, switching out lures every 15 minutes hoping that one of them would get in front of a hungry fish who rewarded me […]

When I started fishing as a young boy, it meant heading to the local creek or small pond fishing for trout, and usually catching suckers or chub. When I got into my late teens I was included in the annual Father and Son Fishing Trip. At the time I was 17, which was old enough […]

Three summers ago I acquired an old 14ft Starcraft aluminum boat with a Johnson 9.9 motor (both from about 1985), to see if I and the family would make good use of a boat. This boat required much work, so I sealed the leaks, painted it, put in a new transom, new seats etc, and had the […]

When I got my current boat 3 years ago, it was with the plan to use it as an experiment. Would I use it regularly, would the family enjoy using the boat, would we take it with us on vacation, essentially, would we be a “boat family”. It would be easy to just get a […]

This weekend I made my annual journey to the Toronto Sportsman Show, held at the Direct Energy Centre. I’ve been going for the last several years, and it’s a nice break in the middle of winter, allowing me to get excited about open water fishing. I went with my brother and a buddy, and we […]
