  I absolutely LOVE my Clam Ice Armor fishing bibs. I honestly cannot stress it enough how impressed I am with them. I just wish I had a camouflage pair to wear in the duck blind…. I moved from Nebraska to Central North Dakota in the summer of 2017, spending most of my life open water fishing. Sure, I had gone on a few Nebraska ice fishing outings, but for anyone that has grown up in Nebraska, or states further south, you know that safe ice lasting more than a week is a bonus most years. North Dakota winters, however, would not be as forgiving….

The Grizzly Drifter 20 – The Best Soft Sided Cooler Bag? I know what you are thinking…. I know, I have never really been a big fan of soft sided coolers either. They typically lack style, the sides collapse on you at the worst possible time, they lack durability and rarely pack well, and you can rarely get one to hold a bag of ice for a full day. But this couldn’t be further from the truth when talking about the Drifter 20 soft sided cooler bag. Grizzly offers the Drifter in 2 sizes, the Grizzly 20 cooler and the Grizzly Drifter

We are back, and yes, its another electric fillet knife article!  Ill be completely honest, I got A LOT of feedback when I chose the Mister Twister electric fillet knife as my number one option when I reviewed the 6 Best Electric Fishing Knives of 2018. And I would be lying to you if I said that it was all positive feedback!  So for that reason, I felt the need to go into a little more detail on why I am so big on this knife. Just for the sake of my argument, I would just like to point out that with

If you looked through the tackle bag any fisherman who fishes for walleyes more than once or twice per year, chances are you are going to find some sort of crawler harness and blade rig.  This is one of the most commonly used and widely successful rigs, proven over years and years of walleye fishing.  In fact, I have dozens of different walleye blade rigs in my personal tackle bag.  And that’s just it right there, EVERYONE has them and EVERYONE uses them. Now, don’t get me wrong, they can be and are in many cases extremely effective.  Let’s take a look at a different

I have owned just about every Pflueger spinning reel out there at one point in time.  I currently own multiple models of the Pflueger President spinning reel, so I figured a product review was justified.  There are so many options of good spinning reels available today and the Pflueger brand, in my opinion, more than holds it’s own. Now don’t get me wrong, if money were no object, I have a few Shimano’s in mind that would be at the top of my list.  But for the money, it’s just hard to be the Pflueger President. Let’s take a look at

Choosing The Best Fishing Tackle Bag In my opinion, aside from your fishing rod and fishing reel, the purchase of your first fishing tackle bag or tackle box would qualify as the next most important task on the list of fishing basics. And if you have been fishing for any time at all, you know that fishing lures accumulate at a high rate, often times overcrowding fishing bag or tackle box.  Your tackle box is going to be your personal safe, full of your latest treasures. At the age of 30 years old, I still find myself collecting, organizing, and admiring
