today's fishing Canada adventure takes
1:04
place on Ontario's famous Martin River
1:06
considered to be the Gateway to Temagami
1:08
and right there just the kilometre away
1:11
from old highway 11 since Martin River
1:13
Lodge celebrating its 90th anniversary
1:16
the history of fishing at Martin river
1:18
goes back a long long ways
1:20
Martin remember of course is well known
1:22
for for walleye but we have all species
1:26
of fishery pike bass a smallmouth bass
1:28
jumbo perch rare blue walleye of lake
1:32
trout catfish whitefish so there's
1:36
there's quite an extensive variety of
1:37
fish for our guests more than that we
1:42
have some 15 different lakes that we
1:44
that we have access to Lodge owner race
1:48
a piano promises us unmatched smallmouth
1:50
bass fishing in both the 24 kilometres
1:52
of the Martin River system as well as
1:53
the almost never finished back Lakes
1:55
accessed only by ATV this is gonna be
1:58
fun our Smalley adventure will start on
2:02
the Martin River portion so that Pete
2:03
and I can get some kind of indication of
2:06
just what the fish are up to by having
2:08
our Princecraft loaded with all the
2:09
goodies it gives us every advantage
2:11
possible something that can really come
2:14
in handy on water we've never fished
2:30
here you bring him in I'll put the heat
2:33
there for you way back here the shallow
2:40
Back Bay unbelievable this is definitely
2:43
been eating a lot
2:44
yeah he's stuffed right up and if you
2:48
look at this terrain I mean let's be
2:50
perfectly honest with ourselves here we
2:53
we wouldn't have come back here for
2:54
smallmouth and that's what we've got
2:56
yeah it would have been more of a pike
2:58
thing and those largemouth here you
3:00
would have come back it's a little wee
3:01
pocket of water way off the beaten path
3:03
in fact just getting in here was was
3:06
pretty iffy with sure yeah the boat but
3:08
smallmouth
3:10
with such a vast amount of water to fish
3:13
as in the martin river system you would
3:15
think that smallmouth bass would be
3:16
everywhere but it never seems to be that
3:18
way
3:19
no matter how great the reputation of
3:20
the water with that said one single cast
3:23
romance told us the underlying story
3:25
the fish were hunkered down and eating
3:26
tiny minnows in an isolated 10-foot by
3:29
10-foot cabbage weed patch just off the
3:31
main read line side - oh yeah yes baby
3:37

3:47
well net him up oh yeah I just hit the
4:00

4:05
stand to put on a bit of weight though
4:07

4:15

that's not say walleye you the school of
11:21
small boat
11:22

12:04
slashed at the spinnerbait and caught
12:06
him underneath on a trailer hook after
12:07
eat every hit my senko it took it off I
12:11
guessed a different direction or did you
12:13
yeah oh I think you can straight yeah oh
12:15
you know this is the type of stuff
12:17
that's often overlooked too because
12:19
because they're not really thick clumps
12:22
of weeds they're pretty sparse and
12:23
they're in their single clumps just here
12:26
and there and all over the place a lot
12:27
of times you come up to him say yeah you
12:28
know what just not thick enough but on
12:32
some days obviously like today yeah lots
12:35
of room for these fish to swim around in
12:36
oh yeah these crews around in it and
12:38
look for food
12:39
small fish swimming for protection in a
12:43
big place they love it
12:57
today's fishing Canada hotspot is a
12:59
shallow flat area on the Martin River
13:01
system that voles roaming feeding
13:02
smallmouth during the summer and early
13:04
fall months Waypoint on your screen will
13:06
get you their hands and I love throwing
13:08
fast baits like spinner baits in spots
13:10
like these if the weeds are too thick
13:12
try a top water bait or jerk bait as
13:14
well move around in anywhere from three
13:16
to six feet of water and keep casting
13:18
eventually a small e should smash your
13:21
bank the more hotspots like this one
13:22
check out fishing Canada calm
