Apple Canyon Lake Fishing Trip – Early May 2012

I headed out to Apple Canyon Lake to do some bass fishing.  This is a private lake in Northwest Illinois.  I bought a lot out here to make sure I have a place to film for the website and to start a guide service.  I have fished out here in the past, but only in a pontoon boat as a guest.  The bass boat gave me a lot more opportunities as I was able to catch so many bass that I lost count and I almost always keep count when I’m fishing.

I ended up getting 4 new fishing videos done.  I made 2 videos to help promote the guide service and I did another 2 videos on how to catch spawning bass with live bait and drop shot rigs.  Check them out below.  If you live near the Chicagoland area, take a look at my new guide service on Apple Canyon Lake.

Kentucky Lake Fishing Trip (April 1, 2012)

I headed down to Kentucky Lake for a couple of days to test out how well the new setup was going to work on my boat.  I found a way to rig 2 video cameras to my boat, which solves my problem of not having the budget for a videographer.  I did have to buy a new HD video camera, but that’s a small price to pay to be able to video tape whenever I get the chance to be on the water.

I thought I’d have 2 full days to fish, but that just didn’t happen.  I spent a lot of time playing around with the new tripod setup at various speeds to make sure I’m not going to dump my 2 HD video cameras into the lake. I did end up getting a lot of video for my new “Tour the Lake” part of this site where I will have a Google Map with GPS points on the map and a short video to go along with what the shoreline looks like in that specific spot.

I did end up catching over 15 bass, although, most of the bass were smaller smallmouth bass on the east side of the lake.  The water levels were very low and many of the obvious spots to target largemouth bass were very unproductive.  I will end up spending a lot more time down here at some point throughout this year.  Please take a look at what I will be doing over the next several months.  Please take a look at the links below and you will see what I am doing for the top fishing vacation destinations that I cover on this website.
