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.

The Future of Tournament Fishing
Before you say to yourself, oh not another FFS rant…it isn’t, but more on that later. I’m writing from the perspective of someone who’s tournament fished awhile, and spent a lot of time paying attention to various fishing series in walleye, musky, and bass. And while I want to say the future looks awesome, I am a bit concerned for many reasons that I will get into in detail. If you’ve paid attention to tournament fishing over the years there are definitely changes. And while normally I think change is good, and it is, it can come with challenges. As I stated, I’ve fished quite a few tournaments over the years. I never claimed to be the best at it,
How To Keep Minnows & Bait Alive Properly All Year
How often have you gone fishing, only to come home and find your bait is already half dead? Or even worse, when you leave them overnight and they all die? Nasty. As anglers, we’ve all been there. Replacing bait constantly sucks, and heaven forbid you soil a container on accident; you have to replace that too. I get it, it’s expensive. But what if you actually took the effort to keep your minnows and bait alive all year? It’s really not that hard when you look into it…I will explain. How Do I Keep Minnows Alive? Shad, Fatheads, Creek Chubs, Shiners, Etc. You really can’t throw ALL minnows and baitfish together into one mix. Some minnows are stronger than others,
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.

Well, the new year is upon us and soon we’ll all be watching and waiting as spring snow goose reports start rolling in. You see, if you’re a snow goose hunter, this is a soon to be the holiday season. As large flocks of snow geese start making their way north, in shops and garages everywhere there are guys getting ready. Fixing blind and stakes, prepping ecallers, etc. are all on the list. Yes, this is what brings success most springs, being ready. I like to rant about hunting snow geese so check out my previous 2 versions: Snow Goose Hunting Truths – Volume 1 The Truths to Hunting Snow Geese – Part Dos After last spring, I think everyone
Best Headlamps for Hunting & Fishing
No matter what outdoor activity you’re into, the best headlamps are hard to come by. I’ve gone through dozens of headlamps through the years and most of them were junk. So I felt a good list of the best headlamps would be helpful for those shopping around and looking for honest reviews. For me personally, I use my headlamps for hunting, fishing, and camping mostly. Whether I’m setting up decoys in the morning to pitching jigs at night…I’m wearing my headlamp. So with that being said, here’s some of the most popular and recent models on the market today. ELMCHEE LED Rechargeable Outdoor Headlamp I recently purchased one of these for myself. The price was right, so I figured I’d
Muck Boots – An Honest Review
I’ve had numerous pairs of Muck Boots on my feet through the years. In fact, I’ve owned 2 pairs of Muck Boots Wetlands, a pair of Muck Boots Chore St., and a pair of Muck Boots Arctic Pro boots. I like slip-on style boots, that you can get on and off quickly and away you go. And Muck boots are great for this, but over the years I’m starting to notice a trend, and I will share this with you on my in-depth Muck boots review.
