Northumberland Straits, Nova Scotia. A hallowed place that whispers tales of behemoths. Not mythical beasts, but creatures of flesh, fin, and furious power—the giant bluefin tuna.

Get your gear ready, anglers!  It’s time for the grand spectacle of the salmon run on the Betsie River!

Autumn in Benzie County, Michigan, is a feast for the senses.  Crisp air, vibrant golden and crimson leaves, and rivers shimmering like liquid gold.  But the true marvel lies beneath the surface of the Platte and Betsie Rivers, where thousands of salmon return to spawn.  This annual phenomenon draws anglers from near and far.

Nestled along the Betsie River, Winding River Campground is your go-to spot for targeting chinook and coho salmon.  With 1900 feet of river frontage and over 100 camping sites, it’s a haven for fishing enthusiasts.  Imagine the thrill of…

The Wild Blue Films headed out into the wild unknown to seek adventure in northern Michigan in pursuit of giant king salmon.  Michigan in the fall is a feast for the senses. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning vibrant hues of gold and crimson, and the rivers glisten gold and silver.

But the real show is happening beneath the surface of the Platte and Betsie Rivers. Thousands of salmon, driven by instinct, are returning to their birthplace to spawn. It's a natural spectacle that draws anglers from all over. This year's trip was particularly special.  It was about more than just catching fish, it was about connecting with nature's rhythm, testing our skills against…

This past September The Wild Blue Films met up with Marlin Expeditions in Nova Scotia for the bluefin tuna bite.  It certainly was exactly that too.  We spent five days in Antigonish, Nova Scotia in some killer Air B&B’s right on the coast with amazing sunsets every night.  We hit it hard for three days straight of filming and we had an amazing time…

This past September The Wild Blue Films once again made our way over to Benzie County outside of Frankfort, Michigan in pursuit of the legendary king salmon and coho salmon run. We have been doing this trip for a number of years and it never gets old. There are a number of ways to make it to the rivers. First off you can drive in or fly in but our favorite is the S.S. Badger car ferry that runs from Manitowoc, Wisconsin to Ludington, Michigan. The S.S. Badger is a giant ferry houses numerous cars, trucks, semi-trucks, and even fifth wheels and travel trailers. So my pickup is loaded down with all my gear and kayak...

In 2022 while on spring break with my family in the Dominican Republic, I was coming off a most spectacular 2021 season that had allowed me to produce great works all across the western hemisphere. From Alaska, down to Belize, and everything in-between. I saw the likes of Alaska for the first time. It would end being a total of three trips that year for photo and video production of fly- out trout and salmon adventures in Bristol Bay.

It was on this exact trip, in the Dominican Republic where I had a chance to do some soul-searching. I could not have been any more proud of what we were able to…

This year has been a super busy one for us here at The Wild Blue and in the midst of all the chaos we still have salmon and trout fishing fresh on our minds from last year still.
