First Time Fishing from a Kayak (Central Canada Kayak Trail)
The Central Canadian Kayak Trail is a new tournament put on by Kickerfish which spanned across 4 different water sources such as Lac Du Bonnet, Pelican Lake, Shoal Lake and lastly Longbow Lake.
This was the first time I have fished in a kayak let alone a tournament and I have to admit I had an absolute blast. I would like to give a huge shout out to Brandon for letting me use his kayak (sorry I said your name wrong), and Jay Siemens for putting up up for the night.
I would like to thank all of the people involved in putting this trail together as we all know how much work it is to get everything running smooth.
Special thanks to Eric and Kickerfish for putting the tour together as well as all of the other volunteers such as Divine (weighmaster) Val, Kali, Mike ect.
I would also like to thank all of the sponsors that donated to the tail so please go check them out.

First time fishing in Arizona!
มุมมอง 67514 วันที่ผ่านมา
This was definitely a great trip as we were out in Arizona for my nephews wedding, my 43rd birthday and our 10 year anniversary. We did not get a lot of time as I was officiating the wedding but we had to take some time to at least got out for a bit. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Courtney, the owner of Liars Korner as him and his staff were not only very helpful but an absolute blast to t...
The Journey Day 2 (Matheson Island to Gull Harbor)
มุมมอง 87621 วันที่ผ่านมา
The second day of the journey from the north basin of lake Winnipeg was another memorable trip. Although we did not fish as much as we wanted to in a place we have never been, we thought we would rather take the nice weather and do some traveling. It was so nice to be back in some sort of civilization and the great food and drinks we had at @gullharbourmarina sure made the half way point that m...

I wasnt going to produce this but thought it was to funny not to. Some times we just have those days where nothing works but still its great to be out. Let me know if you have ever gone out of your comfort zone or done something strange, just to stay on the water longer. Thanks so much for watching.
The Journey Day 1 (North Basin)
มุมมอง 1.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Kali and I decided to take a trip from the north basin of Lake Winnipeg all the way down to Selkirk which was around 250 miles. Along the journey we were collecting money to help with school fishing programs and youth fishing in general. We ended up raising just over $2000 which was unbelievable. I would love to thank all of the people and companies that donated and all of the people that have ...

This video was taken on day one of my 4 day trip down lake Winnipeg. @staggontheline decided to take me to a little fishing spot know to produce large amounts of cookie cutter 20' walleyes and well it was no joke. We have already been fishing for over an hour or so before deciding to make the video so we were already almost worn out. Absolutely love fishing in the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg.

Kali's sister Lisa came out for a Winnipeg visit and wanted to go fishing. Rather then going for walleyes we decided to giver her a bit of an experience. An experience that people come from all over to try........Channel Cat fishing. These are super powerful fish and are some of the biggest channel cats around so I knew it was going to be a battle. We had a great time and some sore muscles but ...

Sturgeon Creek is just west of Winnipeg's City center and well I have always wanted to see what I could get. i know I couldn't do it alone so I enlisted in the help of none other then @staggontheline . This was more of a straight drop shot kind of day and I have to admit, I was qui...

ARE THE WHITE BASS BACK? (Found the Manitoba Unicorn)
มุมมอง 1.4K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Honestly, this was supposed to be a trip full of fun and large drums but we stumbled upon the elusive some what extinct Manitoba White Bass. I am not sure of the exact time when the Manitoba White Bass seemed to disappear but from the research I have done it could be between 2018-2020. Some may call these fish a nuisance but I have to admit, It was an absolute surprise to not only just catch on...
Kalis First Master Tiger Trout

It was a tough day on the water but it was great to see Kali not only catch her first Tiger Trout but a Master at that. Although the weather was not co operating with us for the most part, it was still great to head out to a new place for a couple of days with some great guys. Thanks so much for watching.

Some times things just do not go the way you plan so you have to improvise. Me and @staggontheline planned to head out for a walleye catch and cook but the weather and fishing had other plans so we just made the most of it.

It was Kalis birthday and I asked what she wanted to do and she said she wanted to go for some Channel Cats. So we called upon our friend Courtnay to see if she would like to battle some of these Red River Monsters.

So Suzuki in Australia are charging me 2 grand extra for the 20 hp model? Are you serious?
@@matthewberry1738 interesting hey
I had the fatfish 949i and looking to upgrade will this be too big for someone that will mostly be fishing by himself with the wife coming along sometimes ? Or should I look at getting a smaller outbreak model? Currently can get a brand new 450xd blackout for $350 so just wondering if I’m going to be over killing it or not
@@dakota.goes.outdoors honestly it’s a great tent for two. I would say that’s the smallest I would go as it gives the best amount of options for sure. I mean a smaller tent is nice for ease-ability but I think the 450 would be a great option for both scenarios.
@@ReelLifeWithMike so even if I’m mostly fishing by myself it shouldn’t be too big for just one guy ?
@@dakota.goes.outdoors I mean I like it but I like room. The 250xd can also be a good choice but can be tight with two people
@@ReelLifeWithMike I feel that, I enjoy the extra room I just was worried that maybe it would be too much for one guy while the fiance comes maybe 5 times a year thanks for the replies man. I think I’m gonna still get the 450 especially if I’m thinking of camping in it too
@@dakota.goes.outdoors for sure. I think all around the 450 is a better choice. I bring it out on a sled and load and what not pretty easily.
Nice job Mike! Kayak fishing can be a major gong show.You did great.
Awesome people them Stillwater people !!! Great job Mike !!!
@@RiverRidgeOutdoors they really are. Always ready to do stuff for the angling community
@@ReelLifeWithMike , yup , were happy to send me my Foolers over here in West Central Alberta , and quick too !!!
i noticed that you had a BA tied on. but what was the other bait? great job and i hope you do another tournament. that was very cool!!!!!!
It fun coming from a guy who fishes from a kayak and compete in the Westren Canada Kayak Fishing Trail. Here are a few tips for you sit further back. You want your legs to almost fully extand. Have your seat reclined it reduces the stress and fatigue on your body as well
@@gbussoutdoors that’s so awesome thanks for the info. I am looking at buying my own kayak at some point so I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks so much for watching the circus lol
Great intro! Good stuff!
@@dalbert4991 ha ha intro to the circus for sure.
Nice job Mike, Are we gonna see you back again next year?
@@AnglingAffliction thanks for watching. I am sure hoping so.
Thanks for coming out! I really enjoyed the video and congrats on the last minute tank!
@@nickwytinck1602 ha ha. It was honestly just awesome to be out. Hope to try again next year
A little out of your element eh bud? Looks like you had a blast and hey- ya beat stagg! 😆 May have to try this out next year.
@@captynkirkpaquette3776 lol a little bit? More like a lot ha ha. Especially against some big sticks. But yeah super fun
Good stuff buddy! Looking forward to the ice fishing videos haha.
@@NathanBlank oh me as well. Working on some ice stuff as we speak.
Great showing Mike! Bunch of hot sticks out there. You should be proud of your finish.
@@andrewpiotrowski-ep4sf it was dam tough out there. Ha ha
Happy Birthday & Happy Anniversary!
Whete are you taking a shit buddy😂😂😂😂
Baby wipes, baby wipes. No underwear changes needed 👍😂
@@victoreiriksson6165 ha ha. As a man I never thought of it but when I heard Kali had some………well it was a life saver.
Oh yeah. Always have some on those back bush fishing trips 👍 no fragrance ones of course, boys would murder you lol 😂
im excited for episode 3 Mike 😃👍👍
Thanks as always for watching man.
Got lucky with the no winds for the first two segments. Crossing fingers it holds up for part 3
We've all had them days Mike .... Hang in there and keep on keepin on !!
Yeah, that last bit is too funny. Some of the best jokes we tell on ourselves. Mike you're rocking!
Ha ha. It was just one of those days. Oh well at least I was outside enjoying the day……..somewhat ha ha
Hey Mike. I thought u had a video that showed how you built the green diesel heater cooler but can only find the red cooler one. You have. Link to the green cooler build? I like that idea.
Humm I’ll have to check. I don’t think I had an actual video of the full build but I do show it somewhere. I’ll look. Also stay tuned as I’m going to be doing a dual diesel heater set up for those -40 nights
Looking good! Why didnt you choose for a rubber seal between the motor and the splashguard?
I was going to see how it worked and honestly, it was so tight fitting that the rubber I don’t think was needed. So far for the last couple years it’s done really well.
ive never even heard of a pickerel rig 😂
Really? We use them all the time. They are great for shore fishing
I’ve re-built many pickerel rigs from broken pieces found on the shoreline, but never with sticks - great try! Would have been epic if it worked!
@@erinisfeld100 ha ha yeah gotta have some fun out there. I’m sure another one will be on the books. Hopefully next time with a fish. Thanks so much for watching
You could have tied a t turn dropper loop using just the mainline. It's actually quite easy. But that was a creative pickerel rig there!
@@TTangOutdoors haha thanks. Yeah it’s one of those days where you just have to shake your head. But fun. One the less
We don't grow if we don't try things and learn, great video! This is way more complicated than I like to fish 😂 My favorite thing to do when the current is running fast is to chuck a heavy no roll sinker, about 15' of mono to a floating jig tipped with a flavored plastic.
@@joshlampe3458 ha ha oh for sure. But next time I’ll make some at home and try it out. It was just one of those days ha ha
@@ReelLifeWithMike Can't wait to see it! I'll wait for you to show me the ins/outs, there is a reason these are so long lived and popular with those who know. God Bless, Mike!
If at first you don't succeed, try try again! 😅 They can't all be banger fish catching videos. Still love that you posted and I still watched!
@@joryhaken4589 ha ha love it. I was actually out for a good couple hours and got skunked, but thought I’d make the best of it. It kind of gives people a little more idea of the stuff that happens along the banks lol
What model of rod holders are you using here? Scotty’s I assume, but do you know which series
@@jamiecole9841 for sure. They are the Scotty R5. They are heat for this type of fishing but you do need to make sure you put your rod in correctly of course ha ha.
This was my first cat fish experience what a blast!
things id change is probably the livescope pole.. too flimsy.. also the 7 inch screen up front.. shouldve went with 2 10'' (or 9)... also hate how u need to put plexiglass in the back.. esp if it only last 1-3 years.. they shoudlve made the back higher..
So far so good! Day one seemed to go off without a hitch. Noice!
Just found this. Very well done.
@@siglavikingkearns8108 thank so much for watching.
It’s the worst when you forget the chap stick. Sun & wind killing your lips all day. Definitely a must.
looks like yall had a lot of fun and its only the first episode!!!!!
Been patiently waiting for this one
krazy glue your rubber tails on.
Nice dude
Heck yeah man, solid catch!!
One more question Mike. Did you get Alumatrac clamps with your boat? I didn’t get any with my Escape and I can’t find OEM clamps anywhere. A few aftermarket ones from Brocraft and Extreme Max, but nothing from Alumacraft.
@@jonlively6137 yeah It came with 2 and the dealer game me another 2. Where are you located?
@@ReelLifeWithMikeI’m in Northern Ontario. I got it from an Alumacraft dealer. The story of this boat… it’s a 2021 Escape tiller, brand new stock. They said they had purchased a lot of them and this was their last one. Seems odd… three year old new stock, but it is new with full warranty. Seems like I’m getting screwed out of two mounts. Like they put them in another boat to sell.
@@jonlively6137 lol. I know they had a whole bunch during the Covid years that were on train cars waiting to be unloaded. That’s the story I heard. There is a place called Luke’s hometown service in Manitoba here. I don’t know if they ship out there, but I know that’s where I got a couple extra as well.
@@ReelLifeWithMikethat makes sense then:). One other thing too… took it out this weekend for the maiden voyage. They put a 14x13 prop on it. Didn’t even notice until I hit the water and it took me 8 seconds to plane out. I’ll be going in tomorrow to ask for a 11.5x13. Thanks for convering prop selection. Seriously love your walk-thru. Super helpful:)
Hey Mike, just picked one up! What did you use to measure rpm?
My rpm is on the outboard handle but if yours does not have one then a sierra rpm gauge works really well. Pretty easy to install as well
@@ReelLifeWithMikeawesome thanks. Mine came with a 50 merc. Not my preferred, but the price was right:)
Hey Mike, Thanks for putting on these videos of you and Kali fishing for cats. I wanted to take a buddy out for his first cats, yesterday and we fished this area with shrimp. His first cat was a 35.5" master. Hoping to do this for a few other people this year, yet. Keep up the great content.
When you catch so many fish your arms are sore ,is always a good problem to have !!! Way to go guys !!! Another fantastic vid !!!
awesome video Mike and Kali. i really like the unedited.
I need to try more river fishing...from a boat. Anchor up and fish away...seems like a good time if you can find a deep enough hole.
The area I'm in in Saskatchewan has a lot of sandbars and low spots...
I would trade all those fish for 1 Trophy but that's just me 😁 Well done you two!
@@TravisInCanada1 oh there was some trophies. And quite a few 40 plus northerns ha ha. But yeah, I could be out for 10 hours and catch one 30 I would be happy
@@ReelLifeWithMike Right on 👍
Also .... stagg on line should rename to snag on line.....because of the delay in videos! haha
@@jennifermerry690 ha ha ha best comment ever.
@@ReelLifeWithMike Give yourself props too ..... I think you called him that in urban fishing video LOL
28 fresh water drum off shore lake winnpeg in an hourish
Wow! Great action memories were made in this frenzy. I am curious about the cover over your rear splash well. That makes a good casting deck. Thanks for sharing.
@@dragonbreath315 thanks. It’s actually just a fence lattice from Home Depot I modified. I love it
My elbow is still sore from this day… lol
Love the video. I feel your pain Kali. Those wallys always get me too. 😮
More videos like this please! That was fun
