If you like Trout fishing now is the time to get out there! The water temperatures are cooling down and the Trout are spending more time feeding in shallow water. Get out there and catch some fish! Last weekend, I visited a stocked lake I’d never been to because rumor was it held some big Tiger Trout; I was not …
Side Imaging does work on a Kayak! Only after using side imaging on a boat did I realize what I was doing wrong on my kayak. I’ve had my Humminbird Helix SI on the Pescador Pilot for the last two seasons but found the side/down images so grainy and noisy they were basically useless. On my first kayak I used …
I’ve been waiting all summer to book a guided fishing trip on the North Saskatchewan River and I finally had the opportunity this past weekend. Our summer has been a wet one and I was waiting for the river to calm down and clear up before I booked a trip. The conditions were not perfect as the river is still …
I’ve spent more time this summer fishing for walleye than I ever have before. It’s been really fun, and walleye fishing at Pigeon Lake has been on fire. Water clarity is still awesome with barely any algae and the temperature is right around 18 degrees. I’ve visited all the best structure around the lake and every place seemed to produce …
It’s Throwback Thursday! In 2017 a couple of friends and I decided we would start an annual backpacking trip, the goal was finding exotic fish species to catch in beautiful places along Alberta’s Eastslopes.

Protect yourself by not touching the algae blooms, do not swim or wade near them and make sure your pets don’t drink …
The world’s largest sportfishing tradeshow, ICAST has wrapped up for 2019 and after reading all the coverage and watching the videos I’ve caught up on all the new products released at the event. There was some crazy advancements in technology, such as the new Hobie Mirage 360 drive, and some natural evolution of products, like the next generation of trolling …
I’ve finally come up with a solution that solves my tackle storage issues. Ever since I started kayak fishing I began storing my tackle in waterproof Plano boxes and throwing them in my milk crate. The milk crate is perfect for the kayak and holds enough gear when I am on the water – which is usually 4 Plano boxes, …
What a tournament! The ninth annual Eastslope Kayak Fishing Classic was this past weekend and it was spectacular. I had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. The competition was fierce, there was 44 anglers competing for top honors and the door prize was a beautiful Wilderness Systems Ride 115 kayak. The Eastslope Classic is …
Hello anglers! I think I owe you a bit of an apology, I haven’t been posting regularly the past couple weeks because I’ve been on vacation! We decided to take our summer vacation a little early this year because life will be pretty busy for my wife and I for the rest of the summer. We packed up our camper …
