One of my goals this year was to showcase the “behind the scenes” aspect of the outdoors. Luckily, the first weekend of the New Year I have a prime opportunity to do just this. My goal here is to showcase what happens behind all the smiling harvest pictures we see on social media or hear […]
This is the time of year that everyone makes their New Years resolutions. It might be easy to say “fish more” and call it good. We all want to fish more plus it sounds way easier than taking up Mark Wahlberg’s workout routine. However, there are many ways to improve as both an angler and […]
I’m Nick and I’m a Tackle Hoarder. This either makes me the best person to write this piece or the worst-I’ll leave that up to you to decide. In honor of Black Friday I wanted to talk about my tackle “collection”. As we head into ice season many anglers are looking to fortify their equipment […]
I really struggled writing this piece because I think it’s an important topic that I’d like to address, but I wanted to make sure I did so the right the way. I believe now is the best time to discuss this because I see this the most during deer season and ice fishing season. I’ve hit on […]

People often ask me: “What do you prefer ice fishing or open water fishing?” My response is usually this: “Well when it’s 40 degrees and I have 5 feet of active fish on the screen ice fishing is pretty great! When it’s -15, I haven’t marked a fish and there is 3 feet of snow […]
I am currently in the process of a 5 part video series about using shallow crankbaits for fall walleye. As these videos came out I had a lot of people comment that they like to use something other than the lures that I mentioned. This got me thinking a lot about my goal when I […]
