1:27
of different techniques we're gonna be
1:28
using some trolling techniques and some
1:30
casting techniques
1:31
thanks East we'll be doing most of the
1:32
casting out of his boat he's still he's
1:35
gonna go out in his bass boat any worm
1:37
as well so will we do most of trolling
1:38
out for the houseboat and he's gonna try
1:40
and cast some shorelines and we'll see
1:42
which one works best I know we can catch
1:44
fish out of a houseboat I'm almost
1:45
positive that we can I know we can let's
1:47
give her a whirl you ready guys let's do
1:50
it
1:52
you
1:56
[Music]

[Applause]
2:01
it was a chilly November morning on
2:04
pigeon Lake in the courses and the
2:06
overcast conditions told us that it was
2:08
a perfect day for this serious muskie
2:10
fishermen after casting shoreline
2:12
structure for the early part of the
2:13
morning without any success Cecil and
2:16
Jerry decided to change tactics and join
2:18
us in our trolling pattern they caught
2:20
up with us and we took the opportunity
2:21
to discuss strategy with them elite
2:29
minimum 12 to 15 feet you know what this
2:33
is fun I'll tell you what this is fun
2:34
this is from fishing deep and hitting
2:36
the bottom my mom was pumping my off the
2:38
bottom she look bluer you can tell I'm
2:41
working deep cuz I'm wearing all the
2:42
paint right off after smashing into the
2:44
rocks
2:47
let's see they're down about 15 feet but
2:52
what a lot of them will do is and these
2:54
tight breaks so the breaks they'll come
2:55
out if it breaks at 12 feet or 15 feet
2:58
sometimes you get the fish suspending it
3:00
about 15 feet down off those breaks and
3:02
they can be a quarter of a mile older
3:04
they can be farther out but in the fall
3:07
like now when you look the shoreline
3:09
because it's getting cold and the fish
3:10
is starting to bunch up or the wallet
3:12
they're starting to punch up the monkeys
3:13
gonna start moving to or holding those
3:15
brakes tight or is it and they're gonna
3:17
be feeding on those wallets now if I was
3:18
fishing this in the summertime I might
3:20
move way out and fish open water where
3:22
they're suspended put in but this time
3:25
you're gonna just act like a funnel all
3:27
those pipe breaks they're just gonna
3:29
suck every muskie in the lake onto those
3:30
breaks
3:31
Cecil ray has been a member of Muskies
3:33
Canada since its inception so we decided
3:36
to pay close attention to what he said
3:38
with our plugs hitting bottom it wasn't
3:41
long before we connected with a scrappy
3:42
fall muskie last week I was fishing here
3:45
and I got into a 2500
3:47
this point same place and please
3:55
all right that's almost like a log it's
4:13
like deep-sea fishing yeah unless the
4:27
boats go back first all I got a boat
4:34
come on break some water gonna look at
4:37
them oh the dirty job but somebody's
4:59

5:26

6:09

6:10

6:23

6:26
ready look at the way they tangle up on

7:09
it kills themselves
7:16
a little bit down
7:21
[Music]
7:30
[Music]
7:49
we just lost a quarter each good Allah
8:05
was the first time we've tried trolling
8:07
for muskie from a boat as large as this
8:09
it won't be our last the rear deck area
8:12
of the boat was large enough to
8:13
accommodate four fishermen and a film
8:15
crew and even with that many lines off
8:17
the back of the same boat there were
8:18
none of the follow-ups that we've
8:19
expected and you know when it got cold
8:21
and miserable out there there was that
8:23
hot cup of coffee waiting inside for you
8:26
[Music]
8:31
you know it's just one of those fun
8:33
trips all the way around it sure was
8:35
and we had a lot of fun with the fishing
8:36
that day too besides boating and
8:38
releasing the one muskie we hooked into
8:40
three others that we couldn't quite get
8:42
in but they gave us some exciting
8:44
moments
8:45
[Music]
8:50
while heading back to the dock she also
8:52
found Cecil and Jerry again just in time
8:55
to watch them hold a good-sized muskie
9:02
yeah they must have been cast and I've
9:13
upload
9:31
[Music]
9:34
good
9:36
[Music]
9:48
like that that's what he's counting on
9:51
you had such a good time why don't we do
9:53
it again tomorrow hey you don't have to
9:55
push my heart convert it over here great
10:03
let's do it again tomorrow
10:05
well why don't we stay tuned for more
10:07
efficient candidates the houseboat
10:16
we've done a few things differently the
10:18
neighbors I guess we're going deluxe
10:20
there got all the toys Reno and Jerry
10:25
weren't able to join us today so this
10:27
will be four of us fishing off the back
10:29
of the boat and I would have to say guys
10:34
that today is a better day than us all
10:38
sorry muskie fishing goes an overcast
10:40
day like today that this will be up and
10:41
active it's it should be you'll notice
10:43
Cecil is on the boat with us take your
10:46
rubber he was out on this bass boat
10:48
yesterday we were filming as he wasn't
10:50
quite convinced that you can catch
10:52
muskie off the back of a houseboat
11:08
in addition to occasionally checking
11:10
your line for necks sharpening your
11:12
hooks regularly is a must when tangling
11:14
with these two three predators once your
11:19
gear is ready
11:20
finding the right pattern will greatly
11:22
increase your odds of boating a foul
11:23
musky there's a shoreline on our right
11:26
side here overdue it's a flat up to the
11:31
shoreline we're talking point eight nine
11:33
or eight feet
11:34
drop off right now we're Colette's go
11:53
[Music]
12:06
[Music]
12:15
[Music]
12:26
want to bring em up throw them on the
12:31
platform nervous eating at home on the
12:33
platform then we don't up to what we
12:34
want trade do tax here diggers I got uh
12:37
some things in my pocket though so we'll
12:40
open that help no doubt yeah it's
12:45
difficult getting attention
13:02
they want to go you want to call
13:54
[Music]
13:56
we are fishing frequent tip but a
14:01
12-foot drop offs from selling shells
14:04
this is a combination that area for
14:06
quite a lot of bait fish to then turn
14:08
your wallet late to the bait fish also
14:11
your muskie relate to the wallets what
14:13
we're doing complying mean weed on these
14:15
plots
14:18
a lot better getting
14:21
yes that's what we're looking for a
14:23
cabbage we this is poorly cabbage by the
14:26
way I'm starting to die though
14:40
don't see it
15:00
yeah that's pretty good doesn't that
15:05
target one thing about fall vision
15:09
though you all kind of wildlife up there
15:22
stay tuned for more efficient Canada
15:33
because of the size and action of
15:34
conventional musculars and a higher
15:36
choice we've associated requested the
15:38
rod keep our usual amount of string this
15:41
is no place for lightweight bride so
15:42
make sure that your equipment is heavy
15:44
enough to take the punishment
15:49
the action of your lure should be
15:51
clearly visible on your rod template if
15:54
your tip stops vibrating it's usually an
15:56
indication that your plug has fouled up
15:57
you can check this by gently pulling on
16:00
your line to feel for proper action
16:05
oh you know when they
17:07
[Music]
17:38
I think we fell in a shoreline
17:41
Nancy taught this is where I got that
17:50
running on the North Shore of Pigeon
17:53
Lake skirting a shelf in about 18 feet
17:58
of water and we're cruising at
18:00
approximately 1700 rpm and that's that's
18:04
been our best speed all day for picking
18:05
up muskie
18:59
really
19:52
on today's conservation corner we're
19:55
going to show you how to properly live
19:57
release on musky because trophy musky
20:01
fishing is one of the most popular types
20:03
of fishing in any area that's Tara found
20:04
these price fighters are under constant
20:07
fishing pressure here at fishing Canada
20:09
we feel that it's important to give any
20:11
muskie that you're not going to hang on
20:12
the wall another chance to fight
20:16
whenever possible release muskie beside
20:19
the boat in the water
20:21
if hooks are deeply embedded just cut
20:23
the hook off eventually the fish's own
20:25
acid will dissolve it always exercise
20:27
caution when removing hooks from one of
20:30
these freshwater barracudas the
20:31
needle-like teeth of a muskie and the
20:33
sharp treble hooks make a potent recipe
20:36
for disaster if you're not very careful
20:41
[Music]
20:43
most of all be patient and don't rush in
20:46
releasing your fish after his fights of
20:48
the boat a musky each time to stabilize
20:50
a large amount of lactic acid he has
20:52
built up in his muscles
20:55
[Music]
21:00
just hold the fish up right in the water
21:03
and gently pass water through his gills
21:05
he'll tell you when he's ready to go
21:10
[Music]
21:21
[Applause]
21:24
[Music]
21:29
you
