From bass, walleye, pike, and panfish fishing to seasonal strategies, lure selection, and gear reviews, we focus on what actually works — especially for Ontario fishing. Honest advice, relatable stories, and sharp humour included. Learn more, fish better, and avoid bad fishing advice.

Ice Fishing IQ Boost
Jesse and Andrew talk Ontario ice fishing with guide Matt Martin. They cover rods, bait, ice safety, and fish that don’t mind winter. Matt brings the knowledge, the hosts bring the chaos. It’s practical, a little unhinged, and actually useful. If you like cold mornings, good fishing tips, and the sound of two loons learning in real time, you’re in the right place.
