[Music]
1:15
to me fishing isn't just about catching
1:17
the big one or voting a limit for that
1:19
matter
1:20
it's about the experience tying on your
1:22
favorite lure making sure your gears
1:24
already yeah that's about the whole
1:26
enchilada
1:27
but there's one element though that sits
1:29
high on top of that list and that is
1:31
anticipation of a great outing and on
1:34
today's program my anticipation is way
1:36
off the charts
1:37
if you watch last year's shows you
1:40
probably saw one of my favorite episodes
1:41
where Pete Mike and I ventured into a
1:44
little obscure Bass Lake in the fall and
1:46
proceeded to clean house on both large
1:49
and small mouths okay we're talking big
1:51
fish do threes fours fives and even the
1:54
odd six well you guessed it folks my
1:57
anticipation is high because we get a
1:59
return visit to our little piece of bass
2:02
heaven known as hasty lake only this
2:04
time we're there the opening of the
2:06
season it's mayhem in the shallows oh
2:08
just experimenting with my with my rat
2:11
it's like a will the fish hit this thing
2:14
well guess what Oh he annihilated two
2:20
twitches banks gone history how's that
2:28
bad up oh man that is gorgeous
2:33
so being small but these haven't that's
2:35
a bit solid for
2:39
and we'll let him go right back see you
2:46
buddy one-for-one as you can see on this
2:50
episode we don't always have the luxury
2:52
of our Princecraft 198 and our 200 Merc
2:55
but that my friends just proves that you
2:57
don't need a big boat to catch big fish
2:59
with a few electronics on electric motor
3:02
a 99 or 15 horsepower outboard and a
3:05
light aluminum boat anybody can fish
3:08
effectively this looks good but I'm
3:11
gonna fish here is a transition between
3:13
a rock-hard sledge a face coming down
3:16
into the water solid rock and it goes
3:18
into a swampy marshy little just a
3:20
little bit of reed not not a whole lot
3:23
but those areas sometimes are like
3:24
magnets
3:25
especially knees back bays with a really
3:27
fertile with little deepwater places
3:29
like this official just cruise in and
3:31
out of that that little that little
3:33
different transition zone and of course
3:38
you couldn't ask for better conditions
3:40
not a breath of wind the Sun is just
3:42
going down over the treetops this is low
3:44
light conditions at their best it's not
3:47
nighttime it's not completely dark but
3:51
it's just enough there he is
3:56
[Music]
4:00
nice fish
4:02
now just see you saw that fish come up
4:05
twice first time he missed it completely
4:06
and I let him have it I did jerk it it's
4:08
not a big fish not a big fish but that
4:13
was really cool what happened here I'll
4:15
explain this it's a largemouth it's got
4:21
that rat in his face big time bet big
4:24
time he is full right big lean big lean
4:31
bucket left that's not that small that's
4:36
not that small that's not that small
4:45
fish my fish is that looks like to be a
4:48
male probably finished doing his deal
4:52
about three weeks ago I'd say maybe a
4:55
month ago and he's just called this
4:58
territory zone this official pretty much
5:01
control this whole little patch of Back
5:03
Bay here that's sweet spawned out tired
5:07
old male the tail is just starting to
5:09
patch up from the ordeal or spawning
5:12
Richwoods you'll see a still bit of
5:13
blood in there that is a pretty fish
5:17
it's cool that is cool anybody now he
5:28
came in and hit it the first time most
5:30
most people will when you're fishing a
5:33
top water bait will react to the visual
5:35
part of the strike and it and it's just
5:36
normal tendency I mean you're watching
5:38
this thing and all of a sudden your
5:39
world comes to an end it just blows up
5:40
so the first thing you want to do is is
5:42
he back on that bait and 99% of the time
5:46
all you gonna catch is air you're not
5:47
gonna catch the fish you got it feel the
5:50
weight as hard as that is to do you've
5:52
gotta wait till the fish pulls that line
5:55
down then you set the hook because that
5:57
means he's got the bait he's turned and
5:59
he's swimming the other way set the hook
6:01
it's gonna catch something if you set it
6:03
on the reaction the visual part of the
6:05
strike he hasn't even got it yet he's
6:07
just blowing out
6:08
and generally your reaction so quick
6:11
you'll pull away from his eat as he's
6:12
trying to grab it that was cool right
6:16
now I doubt very much in a small area
6:19
like this I doubt that there be another
6:21
fish however having said that if I
6:23
didn't throw another cast in there I'd
6:25
be an absolute fool except you is just
6:27
too perfect a lot of things change
6:30
throughout the season of bass fishing
6:32
and depth may be the most critical
6:33
factor during last year's hayseed Lake
6:36
trip in the fall a lot of the fish were
6:38
situated along a bluff Bank in 20 plus
6:41
feet of water on this trip being early
6:43
summer I guarantee the fish will be much
6:46
shallower I could use the same top water
6:48
approach but I'm using it in a totally
6:50
different situation I don't know whether
6:52
you can pick that up or not but this
6:54
bait aside from sounding and looking
6:56
great it's putting on an awful lot of
6:58
bubbles it's very similar to a pop R
7:01
that's got the big open concave mouth
7:03
what's putting out those bubbles are
7:05
those massive little ears and when it's
7:08
moving through the water it's very
7:09
similar to having that big concave lip
7:11
that a pop R does and that's what's
7:13
causing that gurgling bubbly effect on
7:15
the surface that drives fish absolutely
7:17
crazy
7:23
there's bass that's an asset
7:26
[Music]
7:29
not a little guy
7:31
shaking rocking the roll yeah baby
7:35
that's better yeah not gonna get rid of
7:41
that one not gonna get rid of that one
7:44
that easy buddy
7:47
jeez you know might need the net on that
7:49
guy
7:50
that's a nice that's something
7:53
bigger than we thought buddy
7:54
that's nice boy they're so nice that's a
8:00
big healthy fish that fish is done
8:03
spawning and he's just looking to find a
8:05
home right over here off this deep ledge
8:10
laughs you know these low-light
8:13
conditions are perfect just what happens
8:14
to fish that lieutenant that fish would
8:16
normally be hiding underneath an
8:19
overhang or around a boulder on the
8:21
shady side of a boulder but when the Sun
8:23
starts going down like this everything
8:25
gets dark down there a lot quicker than
8:26
it does above the waterline and they
8:28
come out and they start just roaming
8:29
around that's when talk why debates like
8:31
this I'm telling ya not only are they
8:34
fun but they're the most effective
8:36
because these fish are aggressively
8:37
seeking prey under the loader lower
8:39
light anything on the surface and they
8:41
smack it they don't care what it is it
8:43
could be a bird for all they care it
8:44
doesn't matter I as I said before I have
8:47
absolutely no idea what a white mouse
8:49
would be doing out here in the middle of
8:51
the lake that attracts them I don't
8:53
think it matters mind you the action on
8:54
this is spectacular and that's probably
8:56
what it is
8:57
and then when they get close enough to
8:58
have a look because a lot of times
9:00
especially a top water bait you'll
9:02
you'll twitch it and then stop and
9:04
usually the strikes will happen as soon
9:06
as you move it again that's because the
9:08
fish has been under there checking out
9:09
the bait and it finally was convinced
9:11
that it's it's a gull so when you move
9:13
it it will hit and if the bait is not
9:15
realistic enough for a lot of times they
9:17
just won't they'll follow it right to
9:19
the boat that's when you see them coming
9:20
up to the boat and then just flashing
9:21
off to the side they finally realized it
9:23
wasn't real but that is a real Mouse I
9:26
have absolutely no no idea why they'd be
9:29
chasing the white mouse but who cares
9:31
[Music]
9:35
without a doubt my favorite form of bass
9:37
fishing is using topwater baits now I
9:40
normally use hard popper style lures but
9:43
on this trip I snuck in a box of secret
9:45
weapons that I'll guarantee you have
9:47
never seen before it's not uncommon to
9:51
find both species of bass cohabitating a
9:54
little corner like this by the way bats
9:57
are bats and generally they predict on
10:00
pretty much the same the same critters
10:04
and in a lake like this because the
10:08
their habitat is very similar there in
10:10
other words this lake is not a real
10:11
swampy lake for the most part it's a
10:14
hard base basin lot of rock and so you
10:17
get both species cohabitating the same
10:19
the same water a nice fish nice biz
10:31
that's a smoker yeah will be net in this
10:41
guy for sure that was so cool if I had
10:47
been watching that I wouldn't even know
10:49
what he was on
10:50
you just slurp it that whoa baby nice
10:54
moly normally that that kind of fish
10:58
just comes up and hit something big
11:04
there we go oh thanks passion isn't that
11:09
gorgeous mm-hmm
11:13
small e on a rat actually Mouse this is
11:19
DEET beauty there's another one there's
11:35
a large money that's why I came down to
11:36
this corner in a small he's out here on
11:42
this log but I think there's a large
11:43
mouth back in the far back I saw him
11:45
earlier right about there
11:50
this rat I'm telling you I think the key
11:54
here especially in the shallow water you
11:57
can stop it when it stops it looks real
11:59
because that fur just kind of moves
12:02
around the tail it's it's it's
12:04
unbelievable it is unbelievable it is
12:08
unbelievable Wow
12:12
the province of Ontario is known for its
12:14
fantastic fly-in walleye pike a trout
12:17
fishing
12:17
but what's little-known is the great
12:20
flying bass fishing opportunities now
12:22
although not as prevalent as the more
12:25
popular species there are some
12:27
incredible honey holes out there just
12:29
waiting to be explored the commercial
12:31
air service and tourist establishment
12:33
Lausanne Aviation has spread the fame of
12:36
Northern Ontario for over 40 years
12:38
this family-owned Air Base operating
12:41
from the community of Algoma Mills just
12:43
outside of Blind River Ontario is the
12:45
gateway to some of Canada's most
12:47
pristine outdoor wilderness adventures
12:49
the mikela service no less than nine
12:52
fly-in Wilderness camps each one an
12:55
adventure just waiting to happen
13:00
with only a little time spent on the
13:02
Internet
13:03
the traveling bass angler can literally
13:05
have a host of flying bass lakes at
13:07
their disposal a simple search of flying
13:10
bass fishing or hitting the Go Fish in
13:12
Ontario site will have you well on your
13:14
way in no time
13:20
come on baby I don't think he's that big
13:24
no thanks open nice little ice box
13:31
took it almost at the boat little
13:33
farther he's had he would a little
13:35
farther he would've had to climb into
13:37
the boat to hit that bait boy he got
13:40
himself hung up good though that guy
13:45
probably followed it for a while there's
13:47
a rock out there in the middle and he
13:50
probably followed it in boy they love
13:53
this this Mouse school
14:03
[Applause]
14:03
[Music]
14:09
yes he's on a little guy maybe not
14:14
wait you're not oh boy he's pulling good
14:18
he's plugged real good but he's not big
14:23
though you know it is I got a look at
14:25
him run it that's a small fish but my
14:31
god yes really that's a real small fish
14:36
not tiny by anything is but we did love
14:45
this thing now I definitely have a new
14:48
favorite lure I'll tell you that right
14:49
now
14:49
[Music]
14:54
now it's nightstand
14:57
just they just I don't know what they're
15:00
thinking
15:06
that's that's that's right out here in
15:09
open water that's the best bread that's
15:12
probably a schooling fish and generally
15:15
we find those things and I think I might
15:16
have you'll say really aggressive you
15:21
should luck out in getting two or three
15:24
an anger that uses topwater baits it's
15:27
kind of like a designated hitter in
15:29
baseball
15:32
he's on pure up there for one reason and
15:35
one reason only and that is to hit that
15:37
baby out of the park no God which means
15:42
you're gonna have a lot of strike up or
15:44
in our case a lot of miss fish and they
15:47
marry some to come back to hit the same
15:49
fate there's the pitch
15:59
[Applause]
16:10
yeah
16:13
he'll feel that one tomorrow you didn't
16:16
like the days of that right obviously I
16:20
was very fortunate the pasty lake the
16:23
body of water I'm fishing today has had
16:24
very little pressure so far in fact only
16:27
one couple was in before me but they
16:29
reported caches of a hundred to two
16:31
hundred fish a day now normally I'd be
16:34
worried about such big numbers put on
16:36
this little Ontario fast magneri but it
16:38
just means the lakes on fire that rat is
16:42
killing them that rat is killing them
16:48
[Music]
17:05
[Laughter]
17:09
look how fat he is I think just to eat
17:12
something to eat a rat that is gorgeous
17:18
Wow there's a ton more that was a
17:21
shallow water fish which means there
17:23
should be a pile of them cruising out
17:25
here that's beautiful Wow Oh steady when
17:36
you dissect the typical topwater lure
17:38
there's really not a lot alive about it
17:41
the baits I'm using today however are
17:43
all about the enticement features this
17:46
beat is nothing short enough phenomenal
17:49
little guy
17:50
literally tiny not tiny but well she's
17:59
not tiny at all
18:02
[Music]
18:04
dice mama he hardly made a sound when he
18:10
took that hardly made a sound I didn't
18:13
even know oh nice
18:21
nice my son is down behind the tree so
18:25
there's virtually no light at all on the
18:28
surface where that fish took the bait I
18:29
mean it it is pretty much lights out for
18:32
them so they're just roaming around free
18:34
men it's a free-for-all
18:39
you could probably save and catch all of
18:41
them oh nice nice oh that's a big fish
18:50
he could be a little fatter but he is so
18:53
long
18:54
[Music]
19:01
that's what we call a Slurpee he did
19:04
smack it he didn't come out of the water
19:06
and jump down on it
19:07
he just got underneath it just just
19:09
slipped it down that's great that
19:13
