There are a lot of good fishing shows out there, but theres no way you can watch them all if they don’t air in your country. Luckily, many of these shows are making their way onto the net. Whether you want to see some salt water fishing, or freshwater fishing, this list has dozens of species and locations covered. Sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy!
Real Fishing With Bob Izumi, Canada
This is one of my favorite shows. Bob has been on the air or over 20 years here in Canada and I’ve spend many Saturday mornings watching his show. There are four complete seasons of the Real Fishing Show featuring 26 episodes each available on their website.
Getting Hooked With Aaron and Barry, Canada
Aaron and Barry are a prime example that hard work and determination will payoff in the end. The started the show as an online based program and after several years of hard work they were picked up on the Outdoor Life Network.

I’m not a fan of the cold. In fact, the less clothes I can wear while fishing the better. My ideal fishing locations are in tropical climates, where I can feel the sand between my toes, and the sun on my back while making a cast.
For some weird reason, I feel very drawn to Alaska. Every time I see a photo or video of someone fishing in Alaska, I just want to pack up my bags and go. I bet a summer spent fishing in the great wilderness of Alaska would rival any other fishing trip on the planet.
I’ve been back from Cuba for a couple weeks now and I have had time to think back on the trip and reflect. I’d like to say it was a fishing trip, but it was actually a late honeymoon. My fishing time was limited to my sons nap times, which are never more then two hours long. The weather was great, the drinks were strong, and the fishing…well, you’ll have to keep reading for that.
In case you didn’t figure it out already, I’m back from Cuba! The trip went great, and of course ended way too soon. I didn’t do as much fishing as I would have liked, but I managed to sneak a few hours in during nap times. I’m working on getting a proper report together for anyone else who will be visiting the area.
Actually, nothing is really packed. I’m at work for another hour tonight, but once I get home I’ll start packing. I travel pretty light generally, fishing equipment and cameras are the only real bulk I’ll be taking with me. We’ll be on a flight to Toronto tomorrow morning to spend the night with my family before we head south to Cuba. It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’ll be sitting on a beach very soon. I really love to travel, especially traveling to a tropical island. It’ll be nice to take off this winter jacket tomorrow!
The best part about traveling south, the weather!
I haven’t decided if I’m going to take my laptop with me yet, but there will be at least a few updates while I’m gone, so visit again soon!
To catch such octopus, one employs a special tackle comprising a hooked, weighted wooden board about eight inches in length, to which a crab is tied, upside-down. Octopi apparently have a great weakness for crab, particularly those with their vulnerable underbelly exposed to attack. The baited device is lowered into the water using a thick nylon/polyester line, and then jigged up-and-down by hand on the seafloor. Octopus usually feel the bait with their tentacles before launching themselves onto it, and this can be felt in one's hands as a sort of 'sticking' feeling.
