Portable Aerator for Fish & Bait by Fish Food Tackle
The Fish Food Tackle Portable Aerator is ideal when you must keep your bait or fish alive. Whether it be minnows or small fish, or for aquarium emergencies…this fish aerator will fill in nicely.
After spending too much money on competing aerators for our own personal use, we came up with our own.
We enlarged the lithium battery and even enlarged the air pump for the optimal amount of oxygen pushed into the water, for the longest time possible.

How To Start a Homemade Freshwater Bait Fish Tank
If you’re an angler, the thought has certainly crossed your mind at some point or another…what if I had my own bait tank??? Depending on where you live, buying fresh bait repeatedly for your fishing outings can certainly add up. Obviously, a bait tank will be a place to store all leftovers and the like, so you always have fresh bait when you go fishing again. Or, it could be that you catch your own bait. Up in the north country, we catch creek chubs often for our walleye fishing, and keeping them alive in itself can be a challenge. I’ve set up my own bait and minnow tanks myself, both in an aquarium setup and in a chest freezer.

Pre-Spawn River Walleye Fishing
My absolute favorite time of the year has finally arrived. I know I’m not the only angler that intentionally drives over the bridges crossing the Missouri River just to see what the ice is doing. I’m willing to bet my wife has heard countless reasons as to why it took me a little longer to get home from work. Checking boat ramps and ice conditions is not one of them. I start my season by looking through my log books from previous years. I don’t get too technical in the information I keep, but I always jot down water temperature, clarity, barometric pressure and the output of the Garrison Dam followed by that day’s catch and what type of baits

Are you a Fishing Charter or Hunting Outfitter & Struggling to Get Leads?
Secret About Me… I have 2 small dogs that are spoiled beyond belief. LOVE those dogs…they are my sidekicks and are usually with me… I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve been able to make a living in the outdoors for over 20 years now. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a fun ride and I love what I do. Most people know my time online from the forums I created in hunting and fishing…which I later sold in 2013. I think the timing was right, especially with social media apps taking over that space. Since then, I’ve been designing websites for other people, not myself. My father was a stock broker, so obviously people trusted him with their retirement

Best Dog Shock Collar for Training Dogs & in the Field
You got the new pointing lab puppy home. You got the dog bed, the treats, the food, the retrieving dummies, dog food dishes and maybe even a good crate (I like ruff tuff – but that is another post). But what are the best dog training collars? A guy can’t help but notice the number of shock collars on the market — there are literally hundreds. With all those different types of training collars it is tough to know where to start to get a good one. Since I use electric shock collars practically every day, I came up with a brief review of what I consider the best dog shock collar. Hardy and robust, these collars have spent many

The Truths About Snow Goose Hunting
Snow goose hunting is a love/hate relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for the bird. Their ability to make you look SMALL at times, is where the hate comes in. It reminds me a lot of musky fishing. Some days you throw big baits all weekend for nothing…and other times it all seems to just come together. Snow goose hunting is no different. To show my age, I’ve been snow goose hunting on my own for 30 years. Started much earlier with Dad, but my passion for hunting snow geese really took off when I was in High School. I spent my spring break in college hunting the inaugural spring season in Nebraska. Been a fun
