  1. Hey guys,

    Took annother stab at those spring kings with my buddy mark and instead of chasing them down in a bigger boat we decided to break out his 16ft hunt camp boat! Despite having a harder time sticking a few fish we were able to put together a decent program with lead cores and dipseys. 2-4 colors and dipseys 30 to 50 ft out was the ticket for us this day.
     


    Looking forward to kicking the 2021 season off and getting back to the grind 👌

  2. Hey guys,

    This past fall my employer sent me out to shoot a few lodges in BC and i was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to put together a youtube video for one of the operations.

    We got to fish a couple trophy rainbow trout lakes aswell as 2 beautiful river systems secluded deep in the Cariboo region.

    I hope you guys enjoy my video!
     


    This is part 1 of a 2 part series. the next leg of the adventure takes south where we encounter post spawn bull trout and late season cut throat trout in the kootenays.

  3. Hey guys,

    Opener was an absolute success for me and despite losing a bunch of fish, i still feel satisfied with what i achieve.. more so, i encountered some of the most aggressive fish ive had the pleasure of getting tight with. Jump to the 10:53 mark in the video and you will understand why.

    I hope this brings you guys some enjoyment and gets you fired up for better days ahead!

  4. hey guys,

    heres a clip from my yearly trip up north past Sudbury.

    I got into a few nice brook trout and caught a pretty unique trout. The local i fished with on my last day was telling me that the ministry had introduced cut throat trout to the fishery years ago, and since then, they have cross breeded with the rainbow trout during their spawning seasons. they call it a "cutbow" up there.. lol

    Ilso got into a few decent pre spawn small mouth bass with Tyler Dunn which was pretty fun. Up north, their bass season is pretty much all year round.

    heres the clip:

  5. Hey  guys,

    Im a few weeks behind but I have some new projects on the go this season so im doing my best to balance! Heres a recap of an outing early last week on the south shore.

  6. Hey guys,

    I got the call late friday night from buddy Lyle and he said things were looking good so i grabbed the cameras and headed for the big river. Needless to say, we locked into some solid action and got them dialed in pretty quickly. This was my first time doing this style of fishing and Lyle was nothing short of helpful in getting the stick and I rigged for action lol

    He said that the stick might actually be good for this style of fishing and man was he right. darn thing might be 40 years old but it definitely still performed great! Its a zebco with very little info on it. all i know is that the cork handle was so old that it has since crumbled to bits since i started using it.

    Thanks for watching

  7. On top of the tougher fishing this time round, i had some camera gear fail me and i wasnt able to catch all them key moments you guys like seeing... next tournament il be back and in full force!

    The kings humbled us yet again on our performance during the 2018 scotty king of kings tournament out of bluffers park marina this June. we got our 6 fish box but there was definitely room for improvment! 

    Key thing for this tournament is that "Even Flow" (our new addition to the fleet) performed great and shes ready for a long life chasing kings on Lake Ontario!



    Congrats to Reel Action on the big win aswell!

    Thanks for Watching,

  8. Hey guys,

    This past week I had the chance to head north to explore some of northern ontario's fisheries.

    I took on the fly fishing game 7 or so years back and the passion still burns deep in me but i find myself wanting to explore new people, techniques and places. I stepped outside the boundaries of what i knew up there and with the help of locals like Tyler Dunn and Adam Baggs, i was able to capture some awesome moments on camera.

  9. Hey guys, 

    It has been a yearly thing where GLIER and Moby nick work together to tag multiple species of fish in Lake Ontario. this spring, brown trout were the target species. 

    Very interesting stuff going on.. Im pretty interested to see the information we get back from the receivers!

    thanks for watching,

  10. 5 months in the making and i couldn't be more excited to share this! 

    Being able to capture the process of importing a boat from down south and prepping it for great lakes fishing was quite the experience. Seeing that motor come out and being their for the first fresh water run is something pretty special. although its not my boat, I definitely share the same excitement with Nick and Keelan of seeing it all come together. 

    From Boston off shore Tuna rig, to Lake Ontario fishing machine.

  11. Hey guys,

    a bit different from my usual content but fly fishing was my thing before chartering took over, 6 years ago. I fished some eastern tributaries on the north shore and met up with some cool folks aswell. last year was my final full time year and this year my plan is to focus on creating more content around the fly fishing I do as well as any other opportunities i have to get out and chase fish.

  12. Hey guys, 
     
    I connected with Rob Henry out of the east end and we did a number on some beautiful lake trout! There really was no shortage of action. Boards were firing and riggers were popping all day! 
     
    Coolest part of this day was seeing that fish box in action... I would have never believed that the circulator could keep all those fish alive but damn... those fish swam away fresher than an old spice commercial... both times!
     
     
     
     
    Anyways guys, I hope you all are getting pumped for what ever fishing you are doing this season!
     
    Thanks for checking out the video,

  13. Hey guys,

    Its been long enough! Heres a funny clip to get you guys hyped up for another solid season ahead!

    This was back during the august Tightlines out of bluffers. We were pre fishing and usually i try to put some sort of a funny rig down on one of the high riggers when the bite slows down. Last time it was an 8wt large arbour fly reel on a soft TDR and that went pretty well.. I mean i bent the reel a bit and put a good burning on the drag but it was damn  well worth it. (you can find that video on my channel on youtube: big king vs small fly reel) But yeah this time i chose to put down the OG Zebco 6ft glass rod with an even older penn 9 reel from who knows when.. lol 

    Needless to say, it was good for a solid laugh during a slow mid day lul

     

    thanks for checking this out,
