Welcome to Fishing Prairie and Shield

The Blogs

Here in Fishing Prairie and Shield, I will be writing about my fishing experiences to provide entertainment and education.

I am based out of Manitoba, Canada, where the prairie landscape transitions to the rocky Canadian Shield. There are many unique angling opportunities with a wide variety of fish species. Nearby are the provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan as well as the state of Minnesota where even more opportunities exist.

As a passionate angler, I always read magazines and blogs since I was young. Like all anglers, I dreamed of becoming famous someday. I’ve tried video making and social media in the past. However writing is something I felt like I excelled at. So eventually I settled on blogging to become my way to share my passion. I hope writing about my experiences help someone out there looking for advice or a good read about fishing and the outdoors.

Watch Videos on YouTube

In addition to blogging, I enjoy making a few videos here and there. It is a lot of work but capturing the effort of fishing is always a pleasant feeling.

Outdoorsmen always have to deal with trailer issues on a regular basis. Might be a common sense thing but it took me a while to figure out. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why all my trailer lights were not working despite the wires having no damage whatsoever.Turns out this is a problem with older tilt trailers (and also trailers with swing tongues). Over time the point where the tongue and bed connect gradually corrode and loosen preventing good ground continuity. Thankfully there are a few solutions to this. One way to just to create a simple jumper cable between the tongue and bed. Definitely an easy task to try if you're trying to troubleshoot your trailer light issues. ... See MoreSee Less

So I recently had a pole in my ice shack split while setting up. Still was usable for the meantime but it wouldn't be pleasant to potentially get a flying fiberglass splinter. Could potentially tape it but I decided to fix it properly. After searching online, I found that driveway markers had similar diameter and flex as the shelter poles. I cut the marker to the same length and successfully replaced the broken one. All for about $10. Will have to see this works out long-term but it does seem pretty promising. ... See MoreSee Less
