It’s hard to believe but the final event of the FLW Tour season takes place this week as we hit the Potomac River, just outside of Washington, D.C., for the seventh stop of the year. We try to stay as consistent as possible all season long in hopes of qualifying […]

It’s no secret that jigs catch more walleyes every year than any other type of lure across Sunset Country. Jigs come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colours, and they can be used in all depths of water–making them the perfect choice in most situations on our lakes and […]
One of the best things about fishing here in Sunset Country, particularly during the spring, are all of the great multi-species options we have right across the region. You can catch lake trout, bass, walleye, and pike almost anywhere, with opportunities for plenty of other species, as well. Black crappies […]
The sixth stop on the FLW Tour took place last week on the Mississippi River, out of La Crosse, Wis. When this event was announced on the schedule last year, I was excited because at only about nine hours away, it would be almost twice as close to home as […]
After a brief stint at home where I got to spoil myself and spend a couple of days fishing for bass around Sunset Country I am back on the road in the U.S. this week, albeit a lot closer to home than I usually am. The sixth stop of the […]
Across Northwestern Ontario, we are fortunate to have the great lake trout fishing opportunities that we do. They are a fragile fish that require deep, clear, and cold water to survive–and we have a bunch of it. While lake trout spend much of the summer in deep water, spring is […]
The fifth stop of the 2017 FLW Tour took place last week at Beaver Lake, Ark. and it seems like I officially have got myself a little slump going. After a solid Day 1 that landed me in 36th place, my Day 2 limit was much lighter and I left […]
Outside of Northwestern Ontario, if you asked me which lake I could say I’ve spent the most time fishing on over the past several years, it probably would be Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. This is my fifth season fishing the FLW Tour and Beaver Lake has been an annual […]
If do much fishing in Northwestern Ontario, you probably like to catch walleye because they are very plentiful across the region and they are great to eat. And if you fish for walleye, you probably use live bait because minnows, nightcrawlers, and leeches are proven fish-catchers. While it’s convenient to […]
The fourth stop of the 2017 FLW Tour took place this past weekend at Lake Cumberland, Ky. and I now find myself in a little bit of a slump after these last couple of events. After cashing a cheque in nine-straight tournaments, my 72nd-place finish gives me a pair of […]
After a couple of weeks at home, and some quality time on the ice, I’m back in the boat this week down south at Lake Cumberland. Located in Kentucky, Cumberland is the ninth-largest lake in the United States but it has not held very many high-level bass tournaments. So for […]
It’s been really nice to be home for the past couple of weeks after spending much of February and March down in the southern U.S. fishing in bass tournaments. I’ve spent nearly every nice day that we’ve had on the ice chasing walleye, pike, lake trout, and crappies–basically getting in […]
