Swimbaits Made Simple

Season 4 · Episode 16

Sunday, August 2, 2026 • Duration 01:20:53

In this episode Jesse and Andrew dive headfirst into the world of swimbaits because apparently tying on one lure and hoping for the best isn't a strategy. They cover how to pick the right size, when to throw them, and proven techniques like drop swimming and fishing an underspin to help you fool more bass, walleye, pike, and just about anything with teeth.

They chat with Derrek of Fish Easy, about a tool that makes finding your next fishing trip a whole lot easier than arguing in Facebook groups or scrolling Google for three hours. If you're looking to catch more fish, discover new Ontario destinations, or simply justify another fishing trip, this episode is for you.

Weedy Walleye 101

Season 4 · Episode 9

Sunday, April 19, 2026 • Duration 01:24:35

If you’ve ever wondered why walleye seem to disappear the second you hit the water… this one’s for you.

Local guide Bobby Belmonte breaks down what’s actually going on beneath the surface from their unfair low-light vision to where they hide, how they move, and why your “go-to” setup sometimes just flat-out stops working. He gets into real-world tactics, gear setups, and how to adjust on the fly in the Kawarthas when the bite turns stubborn (which… let’s be honest… it will).

We also chat with Brad Scott about the Quinte Walleye Weekend Derby and Jesse chats with Dean about the North Bay Fishing & Outdoor Show and what’s worth checking out.

If you like catching more fish and guessing less, you’ll want this one.
