Good Stuff: Here's some useful and practical fishing-related links that I recommend and use personally.
Free Solunar Tables For Fishermen: Moon Phase has been directly linked to some of the best catches in history and I follow it religiously. Click the image to use the easiest Solunar Data Calculator there is. It's also deadly-accurate!
Ice Safety: Click the image to access John Whyte's Blue Ice Report. This is the authoritative source for up-to-the-minute ice conditions on Ontario's best icefishing lakes.
THE authority for year round fishing reports on Lake Simcoe!

Environment Canada Marine Report: Weather and winds are huge factors in fishing. This is the best resource there is for monitoring weather conditions for fishing in Ontario.
Target Walleye: A tremendous site for both walleye and icefishing content from all over Canada and the U.S
Slobland Flicks: The biggest, most intense collection of all-Ontario, BIG muskie footage anywhere!

5 'Must Know' Fishing Knots:
1. Uni-Knots: This is the #1 method for joining braided line to a fluorocarbon leader, or a fluorocarbon leader to monofilament.
2. The Albright Knot: Use this for joining braided line to bite-proof stranded or titanium wire. A must for spring pike fishing!
3. Loop Knot: Makes delicate minnowbaits, jigs or plastics really come alive. I use this on 100% of my vertical jigging lures.
4. The Drop-Shot Knot, aka The Palomar Knot: Maybe the hottest rig in multi-species fishing right now. Here's how it's done.
5. The Improved Clinch Knot: By far the sturdiest and easiest knot there is for tying something to the end of your fishing line. Works with all types of line.
