Interested in a Fishing Charter Around San Diego?

If you’re traveling or living around the San Diego, CA area, then you need to give Fish Further Charters a shout! Captain Dan has been operating a successful fishing charter in San Diego for years. And as I write this review, they have a perfect Google Ranking of 5.0 stars out of 120 Reviews! (impressive) They operate 3 different types of guided fishing. IN-SHORE FISHING The in-shore fishing charter option is relatively close to the port with opportunities for yellowtail, bass, whitefish, sheep head, sculpin, barracuda, bonito, lingcod, halibut, shark, and various species of rockfish. Most fishing is on the bottom or surface fishing, with a variety of baits. This is a perfect option for beginners or families looking to

Best Mobile Ice Fishing House for Serious Anglers

It’s early Sunday afternoon in Lake Country. The football game is on, the beer is flowing, and maybe a bobber goes down…or not. Does this sound like a scenario for you? While I’m not knocking a man’s version of a good time, this is often the scenario of those who own permanent ice fishing houses all over the Midwest. You can usually spot them in large communities, more often it seems than not. And this community doesn’t build until almost mid-winter, too. Personally, I don’t drink on the ice. I’m not against anyone doing so, I just hit the ice to catch fish, PERIOD. I don’t want a SUPER HEAVY ICE HOUSE that I can only use a few months

Best Fishing Rod Holders for your Boat

Updated with new rod holders! I spend A LOT of time using fishing rod holders in boats. At first, I thought, listing the best rod holders will be easy. But with so many new competitors jumping into the space, and at great prices, it’s changing the way people buy and use them today. You also need to keep in mind that open water trollers, on bodies of water such as Lake Erie, use multiple planer boards for trolling. So many are moving towards rod tree styles that stack rods for easy organization. Most of the time, you’ll find me trolling for walleyes. Where I live, our fishing season never closes so we’re fishing late into the fall, and start early

Snow Goose Hunting 101 – Everything You Need to Know to Hunt Snow Geese

Snow goose hunting has to be one of the most psychotic outdoor activities on the planet. Why? Well, if you’ve never been on a week-long snow goose hunting trip, it has to be one of the most tiring vacations you’ll ever experience. I mean, to do this week in and out requires a special type of person, and there are very few that can stand up and claim to know…the grind. What is the grind??? Well, it usually starts WAY TOO EARLY in the morning, and after setting and picking up decoys, cleaning birds, scouting, etc. it ends with a repeat the following day. With that being said it’s often called a young man’s game, and for good reason. I’ve

Muddy Pro Harness Review

Editor’s Note: I saw Lukas’ story on Facebook and I knew this would be a good reminder about the importance of safety harnesses. I know someone with permanent back injuries due to falling out of a treestand. Safety first! I run the Muddy Pro Harness system for bow hunting out of tree stands. The product is awesome and very lightweight coming in at 1.5lbs. They’re equipped with added shoulder straps for a very comfortable fit and mesh backing. They also feature quick-release buckles for the waist that are very nice and quiet and release very easily! No metal-on-metal noise is an added bonus. Tree strap and tether strap are included, all needed for use is a quick latch hook. Another

Best Video Camera for Hunting – Start Filming Your Hunts

Updated best video cameras for hunting for 2021/2022! I started filming hunts back in 2004, and have been having fun doing amateur videos ever since. I get it, I’m not George Lucas and never will be…but I like having decent video cameras to capture memories as I get older. Nowadays, I like to have the camera rolling whenever I’m out hunting or fishing. You just never know when something BIG is going to happen…like my personal best walleye that I caught on film years back. A worst-case scenario is you acquire no decent footage, which takes about 10 seconds to reformat your SD card and delete it all. This article is really for those interested in self-filming your hunts. The
