CROW LAKE OUTPOST crowlakeoutpost.comDoes Lake Minnewasta have any fish left?Reel Life With Mike2026-08-05 | Lake Minnewasta in Morden Manitoba, has always been a special place for me. Not only is Morden my home town but it used to be one of the best Crappie fisheries around. Due to drought, floods, and overfishing, the lake has taken a huge hit to its fish population so we decided to head out to see if there is any fish left in Lake Minnewasta. We will be heading back in the kayak to get a real look of the lake and give you a better idea on how the fishery is doing but for now these are the results.
Thanks so much for watching and place take some time to go take a look at this beautiful small town and do not forget to comment below for your chance to win a plastic toy Mosasaur
Morden Corn and Apple Festival: cornandapple.comThe Ultimate Off-Grid Mini Starlink Roam Setup? (Orbynexa Power Bank Review)Reel Life With Mike2026-08-03 | As an avid outdoor enthusiast I have to admit that in this day and age, nothing is better then being able to leave the hustle and bustle of the big city and technology but, having the option to be able to have internet service where you are in the world, at the push of a button whenever you need it or in an emergency is always a big positive. I have been using this power bank for the last 3 months and I have brought it absolutely everywhere. Some times I used it while other times it just sat in the backpack but knowing that I have the option to reach out made the trips easier to know that your safe.
The Orbynexa Portable Power bank is quite small and allows you to power your Starlink for around 5 hours whenever you need it.
I would have to say that out of all of the products I have tested over the years, the Orbynexa Portable Power bank is my favorite and has come in handy exactly when I needed it.

The Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL was the perfect option to complete this task and was absolutely solid on the moving water of the Red River. If you are in for a challenge, go to Lockpot Manitoba and go fight some for yourself, You will not regret it.

Nothing is worse then loosing your bump board during a tournament and having it float can really help. All you need is a plumbing pipe insulator with dual tape. Cut it to size and squish it in the gaps. Something so easy can save you some cash incase you drop the board in those frantic fishing moments.TORNADO almost formed above Polo Park Winnipeg #tornado #stormReel Life With Mike2026-06-10 | This was a timelapse filming above polo park during June 9, 2026 storms.

It was called cold Lake because it was supposed to be the first tournament of the season and well that should say at all. It was basically just a fun tournament with a bunch of guys getting together to go see if we could hunt for some bass. I have to admit I was definitely slacking on my pre-trip checklist and took a gamble and of course, as you can see in the video, the reason why we couldn’t make it for check in. It was still an absolute great day and super hot with a bunch of friends so I couldn’t ask for anything more but unfortunately, now I can never say I’ve ever been disqualified from a tournament lolSometimes the creak less traveled is where you find the memories. #kayakfishing #fishingReel Life With Mike2026-05-26 | The rivers and streams are always an adventure when your with a good friend.

The video did not turn out as good as I would of liked but that was due to just going out and having fun, and I was more trying to capture the moment rather then make it feel like a job.

(Eskimo Eskape 2600)Reel Life With Mike2026-01-25 | Well I have done many many overnights on and off the ice but yet this is still a new one for me. Every year it seams that this one question comes up on the message boards and that is, Can you do an overnight on the ice using electrical heat? There is also many many comments bashing this method meanwhile I am sure they have never tried it before. I have tried many different heating sources for my overnights and I can not compare anything to electrical heat if I have never done it so I gave it a shot. Let me know what you think of the findings and if you would ever think or try using electrical heat in your overnight setup.

He graciously offered up his time and one of his ice castles so we could have a memorable Christmas overnight. The ice castle was just placed in its position so that meant that he had to go back, get the generator going, get the heat on, drill holes and get us set up for the night. I can not say enough good words about this guy as he is always thinking of others and also helping anyone that's in need on and off the ice.

The delta marsh is located just southeast of Lake Manitoba and is home to some pretty large Carp, Buffalo and Drum. Although at some parts of the season it can be like shooting fish in a barrel, the fight is still worth it. Even though it seems like these fish are plentiful, please still be respectful on how long fish are out of the water as they will go through a tone of stress. Thanks so much for watching and remember to always try to go do something new as the memories and experience is priceless.The Lockport MonsterReel Life With Mike2025-07-05 | The weather was getting nicer and it was another great day to get on the water for a couple of hours.

This is one of the first times I have set this flip up and I am sure there will be many more variations to make it the perfect overnighter so stay tuned. Please comment below if you have any questions about my overnight set ups, or if there is anything you think I can improve.
Here is a complete list of everything used in the video.

I absolutely think the size to weight comparison is a perfect balance for a run and gun set up all the way to an overnighter. Stay tunes as I will also be posting an overnight in the flip over as well. If you would like any more information about the flipover or any of the gear, check out the links below.

Well I must say that it may have been a bit slow but the one thing it did not lack was entertainment. I always say to get out of your comfort zone and try some new things and its always nice to help the community and local fisheries.
