The Outdoor Journal Radio crew heads to the far edge of Nova Scotia for a wild East Coast adventure in Canso, one of Canada’s most historic and fish-rich coastal towns. From giant bluefin tuna and great white sharks to the unforgettable local characters and ocean superstitions (bananas on boats, whistling for the wind!), this episode has it all.

Join Angelo Viola, Pete Bowman, Dean Taylor, and Nik Viola as they brave rough Atlantic seas, battle sea sickness, spot sharks, test out cutting-edge sonar tech, and hook into some of the most powerful fish on Earth.

We’ll also dive into Canada’s grass carp invasion, a new tick-borne disease warning, and listener questions about tournament boat safety.

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete react to shocking news from Ontario’s Great Lakes: a 60-pound grass carp, one of the most destructive invasive species on the planet, has been caught in Lake Huron near Bruce Nuclear. To unpack what this means for our fisheries, the guys welcome DFO biologist Trisiah Tugade, who explains how this fish reached Canadian waters, what its presence could mean for bass, walleye, and waterfowl, and how anglers can help stop the spread. Plus, the crew talks Campbell’s Soup’s Clean Water Act violations, listener questions about fall bass spawning, and a massive Garmin LiveScope giveaway open nationwide - including Quebec!

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Pete Bowman, Steve Niedzwiecki, and Dean Taylor take the show on the road to Cedar Meadows Resort and Spa in Timmins, Ontario, recording from inside the incredible Sleeping with the Wolves cabin. With real wolves pacing just outside the glass, the crew talks about life on the road, Northern Ontario fishing, and the unique connection between wildlife and outdoor adventure.

They also dive into Canada’s controversial gun buyback program, discuss invasive species awareness, and answer a listener question about proper muskie handling and conservation. Between the wolf sightings, laughs, and on-the-road stories, this episode captures everything that makes Outdoor Journal Radio what it is: fishing, wildlife, and the Canadian wilderness at its best.
