The fishing season is off to a fantastic start this year! Last weekend marked the opening of trout season here in Ontario and though I was only able to get out yesterday, my friends and I still managed to have a fantastic day on the river. We woke up early and took a short drive out to Oshawa where we would explore the upper parts of the river. Tiny beads and stoneflies were the most effective lures in the gin clear water.

If you haven’t been following our Twitter or Instagram feeds you’ve missed out on some fantastic winter fishing. Don’t worry, we’ve uploaded all of our best photos to our winter steelhead fishing gallery and we’ll continue to update it as the remaining weeks of winter pass. Clive was also in attendance this trip, but we couldn’t put him on his first fish of the year. View the “Winter Steelhead Fishing” gallery now!
On October 20th, Martin Szomolanyi and I hooked up with the intentions of fishing a local bass tournament on Lake Erie. Unfortunately due to weather concerns the event was cancelled, but we were already up and ready to go so we decided to take cover from the wind and fish the Niagara River instead. We met at the Chippewa River where Mark Hordyk, Chris Jarrett, and Landon Wieske showed up to join us. They also intended on fishing the Erie tournament and since that was cancelled we decided to throw our own impromptu event with a 20 dollar buy-in and a 100 dollar prize to the biggest bass of the day.
After weeks of fishing in the rain and cold, and several days of warming our fingers inside preparing all these images, we’re proud to bring you this year’s fall fishing gallery. This gallery is important for several reasons, one of which being Clive’s return to Ontario and the re-activation of our furious fishing powers, and secondly because of my new personal best largemouth bass! That’s right, this big bass below measured 23″ in length, 5 pounds on the scale, and was caught on a football jig sent to me by the hardworking guys at Militant Outdoors. I also caught several large bass on my Big Smallie Tackle hair jigs, so look forward to a review of those very soon!
Survival Straps are customizable fashion accessories with a serious function. Made from several feet of braided military spec paracord that can be deployed at a moments notice providing you with an invaluable tool. But just because something looks nice doesn’t mean that it’s fashionable, and just because something is useful doesn’t make it functional. So where do Survival Strap land between fashion and function? Keep reading to find out.
Paul Mugo, owner of the Kenya Tyeing Flies Company, has sent me yet another amazing collection of his handmade flies. If you haven’t seen his work before you should definitely check out the two previous galleries of his fantastic flies.
I will be putting these flies to the test next weekend as I try to catch my first Brook Trout on the fly in Algonquin Park. Wish me luck!
Introducing Cryptoid Lure Co, the official brand of lures manufactured by the Kokemachine from the web based info-comedy 4EEL FISHING. With colors inspired by various characters of the paranormal ilk, the Kokemachine has aspired to make some of the most tripped out and hilarious spoons that will ever land you a monster. These lures feature high impact glow in the dark powder paint combined with a unique multicolored tinsel tassel which conceals two talon sharp octopus hooks. When retrieved with violent pops followed by a drop and flop, the interaction between the tassel and the spoon serves to act as the fishly equivalent of waving the big ‘ole middle finger’ right in the face of potential predators. For these rage prone water beasts this simply calls out, “it’s murder time!” The result: Fish appear out of nowhere just to put the beats down on this lure.
Check out these spanking hot designs all inspired by boogymen and boogymen related activities. All proceeds go towards the production of future 4 Eel Fishing Episodes!
Each spoon goes for 12$ and includes free shipping to Canada and the US. Individuals who buy 50$ or more get a free “F*** CHUBS” collector’s mug.

My good friend Phil alerted me to this fantastic swordfish tattoo by artist Matt Adamson. It’s difficult to understand the placement of the tattoo from the photos below but it looks to me like the tops of the shoulders, as if the swordfish has gone through the neck.
Matt is now stationed at Jayne Doe tattoo studio in Essex, and if you’re nearby and looking for tattoos I would definitely recommend you check him out. You can see more of Matt’s amazing work and follow him on Instagram. Another great shot after the break with elements of the original drawing.
This exotic fish may be native to southeast asia, but would you believe there’s one place in the United States where you can catch one right along side a largemouth bass. While they’re most commonly found here in aquariums many misinformed owners don’t realize they can grow up to 40″ and weigh over 10 pounds. Sources believe that when the fish got too big or too expensive to feed they were illegally released into the local water system.
Can you name that fish? If so we’ve got a three pack of WE FISHIN’ MANE stickers for you!

My XTRATUF II boots have been the footwear of choice for winter fishing this year and they’ve been fantastic on every outing. I’m sad that they’ll be put away in the next few weeks as summer approaches, but I’m very happy knowing they’re ready and waiting for next winter. When [...]

Sharks aren’t the emotionless evil creatures they’re made out to be, they’re sensitive and missunderstood. In fact your bed is more likely to be the cause of your death than a shark. So please give a depressed shark a hug, and maybe sleep on the floor tonight.
We’ve covered some bizarre aquariums in the past, but this one is actually pretty clever. Assuming you don’t have any cats that is. If you combined this guitar with the goldfish helmet you’ve got the beginnings of one seriously weird band.
