Searching for Springtime Crappie on “Breaking Boundaries”;  Fishing in Brutal Conditions on “Know Fishing”  and Fishing with a Legend on “Kayak Bassin’ TV”

DENVER (November 17, 2016) – World Fishing Network viewers will get a glimpse of some of the most difficult places to fish in Canada and how the pros manage the liquid terrain during the week of November 21–27. JP DeRose travels all over Ontario to find the best Springtime Crappie on Breaking Boundaries; Dustin Wilks demonstrates his game plans for when fishing conditions get rough on Know Fishing; and Chad Hoover challenges a fishing legend to a competition on Kayak Bassin’ TV.

Starting the week on JP DeRose Breaking Boundaries, JP travels to the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario to search for Springtime Crappie. Joined by angler and guide Chris Giles, together they search numerous canals and bays lining the Kawartha waters trying to put together pieces of the puzzle.

Next, on Know Fishing, Dustin Wilks takes on a tidal river system during a brutal cold front in mid-April. The north wind has the water pushed out making bass especially skittish. Dustin gradually figures out the tough conditions and establishes a great game plan with lots of action, and shows anglers how to have a good fishing day even in the harshest conditions. Ending the week is Kayak Bassin’ TV with Chad Hoover hooking up with kayak fishing legend Jim Sammons in Florida for a friendly competition.

Highlights for November 21–27:

• JP DeRose Breaking Boundaries (Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET)

DENVER (November 17, 2016) – With plenty of holiday programming to relish, viewers will have a lot to be thankful for during the week of November 21–27 on Outdoor Channel.

Next, it is the night before opening day of duck season, and the men are carrying on their tradition of camping out on the Robertson land. Then, Willie’s refusal to share a batch of imported biltong meat prompts the rest of the guys to try and make their own jerky. Finally, Jase challenges Willie to a hamburger cook-off, but their very different strategies lead to inedible results. Next, on Alaska’s Ultimate Bush Pilots, on a rare day off, Josiah Freeman and his friends white water raft where few have gone before – on top of the massive Knik Glacier in Alaska. Wednesday, on Viking Chronicles, Kyle Lamb takes on the challenge of being dropped into a remote lake in the Togiak wilderness with no resupply in search of giant moose.

DENVER (November 10, 2016) – Before all the turkey and fixings, Outdoor Channel viewers will have plenty of programming to gorge on during the week of November 14–18. On Duck Dynasty, a paintball war breaks out as Willie and Jase fight over a favorite childhood collectible; the Ultimate Bush Pilot rescues a lost hiker; Kyle Lamb is back in one of the most difficult and dangerous places to hunt in the world; Craig Morgan stocks up his freezer before Winter hits; the Bahamas welcomes Nick Hoffman with open arms and classic western film, Jeremiah Johnson, closes out the week.

Duck Dynasty begins the week on Outdoor Channel with four episodes. First, taking a hint from Jep, Si outfits himself with a pair of wearable cameras so he can record every moment of his daily life. Next, an argument over a treasured G.I. Joe action figure collectible leads to a paintball war between Willie and Jase. Then, not satisfied with Willie’s offer of soft-serve ice cream as an incentive, Jase buys an amphibious ATV and offers the use of it to motivate the guys and speed up production. Finally, Jase, Martin, and Godwin offer to build a playhouse for Jep’s kids, but their design is nowhere close to what Jep and Jessica had in mind. Next, on Alaska’s Ultimate Bush Pilots, aviation pilots Joel Natwick and Josiah Freeman assist with a search and rescue for an experienced hiker deep in the winter wilderness. Wednesday, on Viking Chronicles, Kyle Lamb is back in the steepest and most challenging terrain of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, eschewing the ubiquitous helicopter transportation for his hiking boots in the quest for high mountain Tahr – a wild goat found mainly in Asia.

In this episode, from the sandhills of Nebraska to the central part of Texas, Craig is bound to find a deer, mule or whitetail, to put in his freezer this fall. Next, on Nick’s Wild Ride, Nick Hoffman uses primitive tackle to free dive for lobsters in the Abacos Islands of the Bahamas, and later explores the Bahamian food and drink as he learns to make a signature cocktail and fresh conch salad from a master.

Next, on Know Fishing, Dustin Wilks breaks down bass movements during the tail end of the pre-spawn on a river he is fishing on for the first time. With the vast amount of water available, he must quickly decide where to fish and not waste time running around. Ending the week is Kayak Bassin’ TV.
