It had been a long couple weeks at work, and a while since I’d been on the water, so I took advantage of some beautiful weather to head out for a solo night of fishing. Normally I’m with my wife and children, or have a friend with me, which may explain why my night was […]

My newest rod is my 7 foot, 2 pc, medium light Shimano Compre. I picked this rod up in 2013 for the sole purpose of jigging. My previous rod had been effective, but as I got better at picking up the bite, I needed a rod that was just that had that extra bit of […]

Probably the rod I use the most often is my Fenwick HMX 7 Ft, Medium, Fast Action, 2 pc rod. Until I purchased a rod exclusively for jigging, my Fenwick served as my trolling rod for medium / small baits, and for my jigging rod, as it had great sensitivity. I love the overall weight of the rod, […]

A few weeks ago I hosted a tackle swap at my house, where a few friends and family who like to fish could bring their gear over, and trade or give away gear or tackle they no longer use, so it would go to a good home. With the amount of money good tackle costs […]

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. I went to one of my local fishing stores, in this case Rainbow Sports […]

It should come as no surprise that I love to fish. What some people don’t understand is that while the fishing is obviously an important element, there are others that are just as important. Things like the anticipation of a big trip, the planning process to make sure things are “just right”, and the inevitable […]

After bringing the boat home from storage, it was time to get the grime of the previous year off, and see if any touch up work needed to be done. My laundry list is a bit longer than I had hoped. I need to wash the boat out, touch up paint most of the interior […]

Spring is in the air, and that means one thing, fishing season is around the corner. This weekend we headed to Halliburton to get my boat out of storage, and pick up my motor at the marina. I store the boat up at my fathers as he has the room. I put sawhorses over the […]

A few years ago we were up at Esnagami Lodge, and when we headed out on our first morning we knew we were planning on jigging for Walleye. We had a guide with us, and he took us to an area about 100 feet off of an island, and assured us that fish would be […]

Up until a few years ago, I didn’t have a soft plastic in my arsenal. I had spoons, spinners, crank baits, jerk baits etc, but no artificial crawlers, twister tails, or swim baits. After going on a fishing trip up north to Esnagami Wilderness Lodge I learned the art and joy of jigging for Walleye. […]
