trusted on the water since 1952
0:33
mercury and for its number one on the
0:36
water and outdoor Canada Canada's only
0:39
national fishing and hunting magazine
0:43
last week on the fishing Canada show we
0:46
hosted the first-ever fishing boot camp
0:49
at chill Deer Lodge on the French River
0:50
joining us good friend and
0:52
world-renowned fishing legend Roland
0:54
Martin with Ronnie answer from the
0:57
racing world's famous
0:58
unser found Roy arms CEO and president
1:01
of Cooper Tires
1:02
and 40 other very special guests these
1:06
were the recruits okay no time is wasted
1:10
his aunt and I welcome to everyone to
1:11
camp got them all introduced and had a
1:13
quick orientation session we then gave
1:16
the guys a portion of our in-depth kop
1:18
presentation to get them up to speed on
1:20
what was going to be the fishing
1:21
experience of their lives here on the
1:23
river
1:23
I just want myself five pesos or
1:27
Canadian dollars I'm not sure yet
1:34
after a very short refreshing sleep oh
1:38
yeah and you mentioned our campers like
1:40
that a night life as well our recruits
1:43
awoke to a classic misty morning on the
1:45
Franks River these smaller boats they
1:47
don't have a GPS I guess well then I
1:48
just have to wait and tell what all
1:51
clear it's a perfect time to wait for
2:00
the fog to lift and take advantage of
2:01
the downtime with more in-class sessions
2:05
you're going to get something out of
2:07
this week that you had no idea you were
2:10
going to get and you're going to
2:10
discover we've got a hundred years of
2:13
experience in the water and we still
2:14
want to learn more every time and we do
2:17
learn exactly you know there's so many
2:20
so many ways of catching fish and the
2:23
key is to dial it in to us perfect the
2:27
presentation as you possibly can because
2:28
there's many times when an eight pound
2:31
test leader that were tied on to that
2:33
we're fishin smallmouth bass isn't
2:34
working we need to run to a six pound
2:36
deciliter just experiment with that in
2:38
our presentation elves a boom yet
2:40
limited fish we're going to try and
2:42
steer as many of you onto fish as we
2:44
possibly can the campers are finally
2:47
starting to connect the dots they're
2:49
associating what they know about fishing
2:50
with what's being taught any questions
2:53
yes it isn't that's available you can
2:57
use spinning and bait cast yeah who is
3:00
one sees us that have you ever used a
3:03
bait caster before you know it's one of
3:06
the workshops that we'll be doing today
3:07
actually is learning how to use a bait
3:11
caster one of anta's favorite components
3:13
of teaching someone the next step and
3:15
fishing is taking on the dreaded eight
3:17
caster once you get really good at this
3:19
you start target fishing which you
3:21
cannot do the spinning around this
3:24
bootcamp is the perfect arena for such a
3:26
clinic
3:27
not everyone's willing to admit that the
3:29
scares have been Jesus out of the
3:31
through a baitcaster
3:32
and even fewer are willing to
3:34
demonstrate their lack of finesse in
3:35
front of others it could be a very
3:37
humbling experience but it can also be
3:39
one of the most satisfying and rewarding
3:40
lessons learned and taught this camp if
3:44
you put that half ounce on there would
3:45
you know approximately where to set that
3:48
right away yeah yeah and in fact not
3:50
only right away but I would have if I
3:53
change this now that it's set up
3:55
properly I change to say a quarter yeah
3:58
if I'm going down to 3/8 from a half I
4:02
won't even make the adjustment my job
4:04
I'll be honest really teaching these
4:06
guys to bait cast from scratch and
4:07
watching a user newfound confidence out
4:10
on the water
4:10
is turning out to be one of the most
4:12
satisfying moments of this camp what I'm
4:15
asking you to do is very difficult relax
4:18
and rather than go over your shoulder go
4:22
about here
4:24
I'm going to get this on Tamina Snuka
4:26
target no rush I'm here all day the last
4:30
of the boot campers are heading out for
4:32
another day the fog and dark clouds have
4:34
given way to sunshine and rainbows and
4:37
just taken over our embassy for this
4:38
event Sports Net 590 the fans owned and
4:41
Gibbins for a shoreline bass clinic
4:43
that's pretty much money in the bank
4:45
the main thing I've learned to go
4:46
fantastic is I need to stick with it so
4:50
that's the biggest thing I've learned
4:51
you should be able to hit that tree from
4:53
here dude okay hold on yeah absolutely
5:02
he's all yours beauty I'm dedicating
5:06
this Vista Angela viola did the nose
5:09
right offshore awesome that job my
5:16
friend Ruth Ryan never treated I mean
5:21
they're just unbelievable
5:24
[Music]
5:31
in last week's boot camp session we
5:34
talked about the basic stuff you need in
5:35
a tackle box terminal tackle a scale
5:38
hooker mover fliers and so forth this
5:41
week we're talking about the lures you
5:43
attach to that terminal tackle here are
5:46
some classic standards the spinner there
5:49
are two types and you should have both
5:51
the classic inline spinner and the
5:53
safety pin spinnerbait both are deadly
5:56
for almost all species of fish the crank
5:59
bait typically these are fish shaped
6:01
with a bill angle to run at various
6:03
depths there should be a variety in your
6:06
tackle box top water toys there are two
6:09
types walking and popping the zero spook
6:13
and the pop are are classic examples of
6:15
each our mighty mo most bait fits into
6:18
both categories so it's a no-brainer
6:20
circa so soft plastic baits these are
6:23
high-tech and very versatile baits in a
6:26
number of variations and can be used for
6:28
pretty much any species the most
6:30
important thing you can do is talk to
6:32
the pros at sale to find out the shapes
6:34
sizes and colors you need for each of
6:36
the lures we just talked about so that
6:38
your tackle box is trophy prime
6:42
creations of our experience out here 75%
6:45
of the muskie that you will see you will
6:48
never make contact with
6:51
yes come on
6:53
what better venue to take on this
6:55
difficult challenge than one of the
6:57
world's best musky factories the French
6:59
River 75% so it leaves you a small
7:03
quarter of the fish that you see musky
7:06
that you actually may get a hook in to
7:10
see those here are pretty nice marking
7:13
this could be musky right here
7:16
this all my life
7:32
100 hours to get a month yeah Noblet
7:35
Marcelo yeah here we go
7:37
good job job my friend yeah alright
7:42
alright we want to keep remote - a long
7:44
way these are magnificent creatures I
7:47
mean they're just unbelievable and we
7:50
need to make sure that all of them go
7:52
back and in good state and help me gain
7:55
my friend we get bigger okay well the
8:02
good day fishing I showed your Lodge I
8:05
see a lot of rods in there but nothing
8:08
hanging off of but lures for the fish it
8:11
get deep the water's too deep here Mr D
8:16
those limbs come way out Steve its way
8:20
deep and then wherever we're in there
8:22
was that but those limbs from 30 feet
8:24
out and it's all before it was like five
8:27
or six fish all around us free I hope
8:30
these guys realize the magnitude of
8:32
having Roland Martin giving them
8:34
underwater coaching heck even Pete and I
8:36
are still waiting for our turn and right
8:38
around that rock there was another big
8:40
fish on the ledge out there around the
8:42
point there was another one big one
8:45
Roland's incredible even when he's off
8:48
he's on oh he didn't he's in the tree to
8:51
say hey hey don't go in there to get it
8:53
I got go ahead and try to get another
8:55
fish away from there
8:56
just leave it back in the water and get
8:59
another fish oh he got off oh yeah I
9:03
think the fish help them get off this
9:05
gives your crop
9:09
Oh Showtime Oh suck this house that one
9:21
looks like the students are catching on
9:23
quick but there's much more to be
9:26
learned
9:30
coming across this one island and mmm
9:33
saying something about the structure
9:35
over top of the water structure versus
9:38
cover really important on this lake to
9:40
understand the differences this slide
9:43
also had this dot here another one here
9:46
with a couple of those rocks under it
9:49
David Muir may be there later on he
9:51
mentions about the river flows this way
9:53
the Fisher pointing this way
9:55
so if the flow in this particular case
9:58
is coming this way that fish would be
10:02
sitting at the leading edge and he's
10:04
facing 99% of thing he's facing into the
10:06
current Casa I don't even think that jig
10:09
even hit the bottom that sucker Hatter
10:14
the time on the water continues with the
10:18
boot campers grouped together by such
10:19
things as species and interest the
10:21
French River is dotted with pockets of
10:23
Education inspiration and good times go
10:26
in something you look at it I'll pull
10:28
you it around your neck clover the tree
10:30
down you no need to figure it all out
10:33
pink scent go look at every color every
10:36
style drop up at all that means you see
10:39
these mean beds I'm here at that little
10:42
one better than none firing
10:53
awesome but that's pretty that's a good
11:00
fish teaching people to fish is
11:04
rewarding on its own alright but
11:06
watching them succeed and that as good
11:08
as it gets it looks like everyone is
11:11
having some form of success and all are
11:13
having a fantastic time at boot camp

11:53
friend and local muskie expert Pat Tryon

who happens to be here vacationing that
11:57
he saw a giant must be holding on a
11:59
shoal not far from camp and that it
12:01
should be catchable in the next few
12:03
hours wide already decided to take two
12:06
of the students from the bait casting
12:07
workshop out on the water tonight and
12:09
see just what they have learned this
12:11
could be the perfect stage to show off
12:13
their newfound skills
12:14
I got a pretty lucky chance to go it
12:17
with an gender he's he's going to show
12:21
me some big muskie I'm really hoping and
12:25
get some of these lures experienced
12:29
we're going to try these ones right
12:31
there well muskie fishing with Angelo
12:42
today's hot spot is a trolling area for
12:45
musky on the French River the waypoint
12:47
on your screen will get you there unless
12:50
you intimately know the French River and
12:51
all of its musky honks trolling is your
12:54
best option to try and find active
12:56
feeding fish in the summer run your
12:58
baits anywhere from 3 to 5 miles per
13:00
hour
13:01
come play ball try slowing down big
13:04
muskie crank baits and joint of plugs
13:05
are a great choice very the trolling
13:08
depths by using a variety of different
13:09
lures remember although muskie seem to
13:12
be the toughest creature in the water
13:14
they too need care once caught take a
13:16
quick picture and then immediately
13:18
release these wonderful beasts for more
13:20
hot spots like this one check out
13:22
fishing Canada calm
13:26
[Music]
13:32
as we prep to catch the last sliver of
13:35
daylight the excitement level for this
13:38
big fish adventure has just hit extreme
13:41
anything can happen
13:43
what a bonus it would be if these boys
13:45
encountered muskie magic here we go
13:51
that's perfect and Buzz that thing in
13:55
you want it just under the surface okay
13:57
you don't want to be slow with this
13:59
presentation you want to buzz it in and
14:00
get ready to set a hook okay just
14:05
knowing we're about to enter the realm
14:06
of a giant fish this may give me a
14:09
little bit nervous you want to see a
14:12
little bulge underneath the surface like
14:13
the blades are causing okay this is the
14:18
moment that musky fishermen dream of
14:20
right now yeah a shoal Twilight I've got
14:25
to totally green big-game fishermen
14:27
we're on a time clock with windowing
14:29
daylight and a 50 plus each water wolf
14:33
lurking under the surface waiting can
14:36
I'll eat something anything or I'm
14:38
seeing some big squiggly lines down
14:40
there and this fish owns this not only
14:47
is Angie's newly found musky game
14:49
challenge with firing giant baits on big
14:51
stiff sticks for the first time added to
14:53
that is they're doing it in the fast
14:55
fading light
14:56
[Music]
15:03
all right I think we need to shut her
15:07
down yeah yeah nice job boys
15:09
thank you very much so impressed they
15:14
call the musky the fish of 10,000 cash
15:17
now Mike and Doug know exactly why but I
15:21
got to hand it to both of them if I was
15:23
heading into battle these are the kind
15:25
of soldiers I'd want next to me they
15:27
were so focused on mastering the
15:30
baitcaster challenge to connect you with
15:32
a fish might have actually distracted
15:34
them from their goal the boys didn't
15:37
catch that giant French River must give
15:39
a lifetime but saved the same for all
15:41
bringing back a lifetime of memories
15:47
[Music]

can't get there from here you can never
16:11
have too much fishing knowledge study
16:13
fishing by eating sleeping living and
16:16
loving it no species their habits their
16:19
history as much as you can absorb next
16:23
is location you can't catch them if they
16:25
ain't there finding fish can sometimes
16:27
be a daunting task if you don't know
16:29
