hi folks welcome to the fishing Canada
0:57
show this week Pete and I are visiting
0:59
the long Sioux area of the st. Lawrence
1:01
River now this area is arguably home to
1:03
some of the biggest carp in the world
1:05
along with giant sturgeon bass walleye
1:08
and muskie it's a fisherman's paradise
1:10
and best of all it's located just off
1:13
the 401 and upstream from the great
1:15
count of Cornwall hey hey we're standing
1:18
in front of the Manson lapier general
1:20
store where the more interesting
1:21
buildings in the area now it's
1:23
interesting because it used to be the
1:24
hub of a thriving village but as well
1:26
it's interesting because it used to be
1:27
located right here that's right buddy
1:29
what are the cool things about long zoo
1:32
aside from the amazing carp fishing of
1:34
course is that much of this area we're
1:36
talking villages roadways and even the
1:39
original bed of the st. Lawrence River
1:40
itself are now buried 90 feet below the
1:43
surface
1:44
well belongs to attractions fair share
1:47
of boaters paddlers tourists and divers
1:49
all intrigued by this unique underwater
1:51
goes down it also brings in sport
1:53
fishermen from around the world and many
1:55
of them are after the same thing
1:56
gigantic and really feisty carp and
1:58
we're going to be going for some
2:00
monsters hey buddy let's go get you
2:08
let's get this paradise bathing fairness
2:13
oh we are going to slave a perfect
2:19
little area I love it the secret to
2:21
getting carved into your boat is getting
2:23
them near your boat and the best way to
2:24
do that is by chumming the water it's a
2:27
bit of a throwback your childhood
2:28
playing with slingshots yeah that's
2:31
great
2:32
now different anglers will have
2:34
different recipes for Chum for us it's a
2:36
matter of boiling corn adding in some
2:38
sweet flavoured ingredients like vanilla
2:40
or pineapple and finally letting it sit
2:42
for at least 24 hours then it's a simple
2:45
a sling shot again into the water yes I
2:49
got swimming around that neck corn in
2:52
that melon for right there it's going to
3:01
think we're fishing right over top of
3:02
little villages here you know like
3:03
roadways houses stores and get this even
3:07
on graveyards funny but not haha more in
3:11
an eerie sort of way in fact of you're
3:13
near an area that used to be called lock
3:15
21 there's still an old set of stairs
3:17
that creep their way right up to the
3:19
surface no better time better nuts Ryan
3:25
my rides gonna be shooting all the
3:28
wonderful underwater footage it's good
3:30
to see this episode actually Brian
3:34
runs dice or scuba supplies in
3:36
Oshawa and as an old friend of ours when
3:38
he heard that we were heading to the
3:39
lost villages he asked if he could ride
3:41
shotgun
3:42
he was itching game his camera at the
3:44
cool underwater rooms
3:46
[Music]
3:47
I told you that right there I'm going to
3:55
realize I just put it in doing that is
3:59
hilarious
4:01
[Music]
4:07
look at how far only ensure he read that
4:11
you got a good one here you ripped this
4:14
good it was blogging anyway yep
4:19
even with this big gear they're hard to
4:21
handle right oh yeah can you imagine a
4:24
little regular you mean you could be
4:27
none of those oh boy first cup of the
4:31
year though I'm a wimp right now I need
4:32
to go to the gym funny that's a lot
4:34
better new funny way there's a lot
4:37
bigger you anyways smokes how can you
4:39
not call that sport how can anybody look
4:42
at this I have what we're doing right
4:45
here and not call it sport fishing yeah
4:47
I mean that's just absolutely absurd
4:49
yeah if we were in Great Britain right
4:51
now and I just caught that fish there
4:54
would be celebration in the local square
4:56
the town's us and we have these things
4:59
everywhere bring a man so that kind of
5:06
people's you got scars on him to his Lee
5:11
just clean on this so I got one big
5:13
scale like a mirror scale here and then
5:15
the rest are we've got a couple of dings
5:17
and Thompson yeah I don't know what the
5:18
story is about one underneath and
5:19
mirrors here obviously they came in at
5:21
some point and they're probably greeting
5:23
with the Commons and you're probably
5:25
getting crossbreeding of oh yeah I'm
5:27
sure they are yeah I put them in the net
5:29
let it go yeah sure
5:33
[Music]
5:39
it's so cool
5:41
there are the real remarkable things
5:43
about what we just did there and what
5:46
anybody does when they go carp fishing
5:48
you're bound especially in areas you're
5:50
bound to get into a 20 pound fish but
5:53
the nice thing about carp fishing is
5:55
that you're also likely at the same time
5:57
you get into ten or fifteen or twenty 25
5:59
as opposed to one trophy fish you know
6:01
say if your palm out bass fishing you
6:03
get that one five or six pounder in carb
6:06
I mean you could get into a whole day of
6:09
my gosh oh my God look at the fish you
6:13
doing - forearm swing for this
6:18
unbeliever down got him for you have a
6:29
boost up River now he hunted only and
6:31
took a boat there but you heard it like
6:33
a little limpid zip and there's a
6:35
slackline cool that's fast one yet I
6:40
mean that picked it up in just about in
6:43
front of the piers yeah boom
6:44
yeah that could be a big fish
6:50
ride'em cowboy play dispersor dignity -

I place all of the fishes I'll have a
7:48
anything across that bag hope that and
7:51
that fish is that way is a power machine
7:54
now we talked about those mirror carp
7:56
earlier on and this is an absorber this
7:59
is a normal scale it's perfect on a
8:01
matter and the mirrors got all those
8:03
mutated absolute kills in the net buddy
8:06
yeah there yeah yeah I try to play some
8:10
careful with them

8:26
it give yourself the opportunity to
8:28
enjoy it like we're enjoying it get out
8:30
there catch a carp and I'm able to
8:33
change the way you think of these fish
8:35
and probably change the way you fish
8:37
period just another great resource that
8:40
we've got here in Ontario a green way on
8:43
the channel yeah and I go oh my god oh
8:47
my God look at this pistol oh my god oh
8:51

8:57
couldn't really get under your skin
8:59
oh that's a shot I love it I just love
9:01
it it's another common carp yeah man
9:04

9:08
the same bait I started with it that's
9:10

9:30
him it didn't stop them from fighting Oh
9:32
dinner yeah look at that
9:34

9:37
fight of the day so far and yet he's got
9:39
a hyper tail take that tail on a piggy
9:42
show if your hand around get on the side
9:43
of his tail yeah here you go ahead yeah
9:45
angle look at that I mean that that's
9:47
been chopped right off at a fat tail
9:50
folks and that is stronger than most
9:51
other fish awful pay a hole I don't
9:53

10:21
most I think one of the most spectacular
10:23
fighting fish that we've got in our
10:25
freshwater
10:29
unbelieva we've been quoting above the
10:34
lost sunken villages of long suit while
10:36
the population of those underwater ghost
10:38
towns are zero the carp population is
10:40
incredible and they are you does he ever
10:44
finger on me it's just really this rig
10:47
there's something about it man about the
10:50

11:08
pounds yeah I think is that wide across
11:12
the head massive Beast big hitter
11:18
what's your line yep you're good boy
11:21
when they get that heavy they're a
11:22
little bit harder to handle up he goes
11:26
say yeah the beauty of this whole thing
11:28
is that you've got all those fish on one
11:31
bait and minus one even just kept steps
11:33
on this a I've never had other than
11:36
artificial baits obviously but I've

evidence of that mark down yeah now he's
14:50
had a problem there yeah he said
14:52
definitely had some encounters yeah but
14:53
it is absolutely now you know the story
14:57
behind these mirror carp right yeah well
15:00
you told me before I again when we were
15:02
in Britain doing the car show they
15:04
explained to me what happened because
15:06
this was a food fish brought in by
15:08
royalty into the Great Britain hang on
15:11
and because a carpet ship so naturally
15:14
scaly they started crossbreeding them
15:16
with some sort of a channel cat that has
15:19
smooth no steals against release they
15:22
put a carpet with a cat and came up with
15:24
what they were hoping to be a completely
15:26
scaleless carp and in fact what happened
15:30
as you can see is all these mutated
15:32
scales in big I love a look at that and
15:35
then you got just three ascii and
15:36
everywhere else right thank you is that
15:39
gorgeous beautiful beautiful fish by
15:41

16:00
enough about these things I mean I know
16:02
we've over the last couple of seasons
16:04
we've really been trying to rent rave
16:06
about cart but I don't think we can say
16:08
enough about them underutilized the most
16:11
I think one of the most spectacular
16:12
fighting fish that we've got in our
16:14
fresh water and from the abundance of
16:16
these abundance of big fish I wanna
16:18
catch a fish fifteen to twenty five
16:20
pounds and you're never caught on your
16:22
life and most people don't get you go

off ashore you guys said we've been
16:27
fishing the long food region of the st.
16:28
Lawrence River and well it's an absolute
16:30
mecca for carp fishing it's hardly the
16:32
only place around southern Ontario to
16:34
find them Lake Ontario Lake Erie the
16:36
Kawarthas from shore or from boat

16:59
Mille Rose Road to the boat launch the
17:03
