I've been fortunate to go on a few guided fishing trips in my life. Some have been the best times I've spend on the water while others were just short of nightmares. I guess you could say that I've learned how to pick good fishing Guides and which ones to avoid. I'm going to give you a few tips on how to choose your next fishing Guide. For starters, check the state regulations in the state you'll be fishing. Some states require fishing guides to be licensed, others do not. If the state requires that the guide be licensed make sure they are. Get a copy of their license number and check with the state to see if there have been any complaints against the guide. I know this may sound obvious, but make...

As the world's most commonly-used illegal drug, it's not surprising that cannabis attracts its fair share of controversy, praise and vitriol. Its supporters insist it's a safe recreational drug and far less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Its detractors insist it leads to psychological problems, addiction and that it's a gateway drug - one that leads the user on the path to more harmful drugs. Here's a look at this colourful and legendary drug. First, let's define exactly what we mean by cannabis. There are various definitions but essentially both cannabis and marijuana refer to the leaves, flowers and buds of the cannabis plant whether cannabis sativa, cannabis indica and cannabis ruderalis...

I am going to make this plain and simple; your best bait for Blue catfish is cut bait. That is if you want the big ones, the trophy cat. They can and have been caught with other baits but nothing will perform as well as cut baits for the trophy size blues. When they are young Blue catfish are very similar to channel catfish. They are not finicky eaters and can be caught on anything you would normally use to fish for channel catfish. Earthworms, shrimp, chicken livers, hot dogs, cheese baits, blood bats and many other varieties of homemade baits all make good choices. You may even catch a few good size blues with these baits. If you are trying to get that trophy catfish your chances of catching a big...

Have you ever wondered why polarized sun glasses are helpful when fishing? I know I used to. I couldn't see myself spending upwards of $100 on a pair of sunglasses no matter what they were used for, so for many years I wouldn't. Then one day a fishing buddy of mine offered to let me use his old pair of polarized sun glasses on a Steelhead trip we were taking. I agreed, and used the borrowed glasses on the three day excursion on the river. After the three days were up, I was hooked. The polarized glasses that I had borrowed were incredible. The clarity that they provided looking both into the water, and everywhere else, was amazing. They were amazingly lightweight and comfortable as well. I...

When he showed me this we use to make them from wood however today I use what is called backer rod or window insulation making them very quit to construct.

I got a little reminder about experimenting last week when my wife and I hit a local lake to test the walleye action. Earlier in the week my son and I had fished league using lindy rigs and leeches. Our setup was comprised of a six foot leader with a plain red hook tipped with a nice big leech. The idea was to move very slowly using the electric trolling motor to let the leech swim around. We were lucky enough to boat one nice 22" fish using this setup, but did not catch another walleye that night with this setup. You can read that blog posting for the rest of the story, but we switched to other baits, basically giving up on the rig for the night. So my wife and I headed to another lake the next...
