At this point in the winter, it’s always exciting for those of us who live in Northwestern Ontario to think about another great summer that’s just around the corner. I’m certainly looking forward to the summer. But if you’re like me and you enjoy ice-fishing, the latter part of March […]

The third stop of the seven-event FLW Tour took place this past weekend at the Harris Chain of Lakes down in Florida–and it wasn’t the tournament I was hoping for. My results in Florida over the past six years that I’ve been fishing these pro tournaments have not been great. […]
The third stop on the 2017 FLW Tour takes place this week at the Harris Chain of Lakes in Florida. Located in central Florida, this chain of more than a dozen lakes is well-known for big bass, although it does not have the numbers of fish that Lake Okeechobee has–another […]
After a month of travelling the southern U.S. to fish for bass out of a boat, it was nice to spend the last week at home and get some ice-fishing in. While we’re still not in that late-season timeframe when the days are long and the fish seem to bite […]
The second FLW Tour stop of the season took place last weekend at Lake Travis in Texas. After a decent three-day practice period, where I had the help of my brother, Ben, I was able to grind out a pretty solid 13th place finish on a lake that was fishing […]
After a week of fun fishing in Texas between the first two stops on the 2017 FLW Tour, it was back to the grind for me at Lake Travis in south-central Texas before the second tournament of the season starts later this week. The FLW Tour has strict rules regarding […]
The 2017 FLW Tour bass tournament season got underway this past weekend down at Lake Guntersville, Alabama. Although it was some of the toughest fishing that I’ve encountered in my travels south over the past five years competing in these events, I was very fortunate to leave Guntersville with a […]
After months of planning and preparation, the 2017 FLW Tour bass tournament season starts this week at Lake Guntersville, Ala. Some 165 anglers are fishing the circuit this year and everybody is looking to get off to a good start, with the end goal for most anglers being to qualify […]
For the past five years around this time in late January, it’s become a tradition for me to hook up my truck and boat and head south. I’m very fortunate to be able to chase a dream that I’ve had since I was a youngster of making a living as […]
When people think ice-fishing in January, lake trout come to mind first for many of the serious anglers out there. Sure, we all get out and catch walleye, crappie, and whitefish in January, but the lake trout season opens annually on Jan. 1 and we have more great lake trout […]
Last week, it was mentioned on the radio that we had a record amount of snowfall for the month of December in the Kenora area. That was before the big dump we got just after New Year’s, so we certainly are experiencing a real Canadian winter thus far because we’re […]
Every day that I wake up, I always give a quick thought to how lucky I am to be able to be my own boss and make my living through all of the different fishing and outdoor activities I participate in. Over the last few years, I’ve been able to […]
