Apr 15, 2025
On this show Angelo takes the custom Fish’n Canada rig to Rice Lake Ontario and tries to go the unconventional route for Carp. Pete on the other hand sticks to the tried and proven shore for a more traditional Carp fishing approach. Will Ang come up with a whole new coarse species fishing system or will Pete laugh at Ang’s 100 thousand + dollar craziness?

Pete now you'll see a bank fishing is
0:08
really more successful carp fishing from
0:10
a boat I'm fishing from FNC one I'm
0:13
going to take advantage of this dock to
0:15
get my baits way out the fish so he'll
0:17
run out of gas trying to fish my water I
0:19
probably have your beaver ready but I'm
0:21
going to try enough that this fish still
0:27
got Gore's landing what was swimming up
0:30
the leak we got to play the game for the
0:36
fish in Canada show brought to you in
0:39
part by Ram trucks
0:41
nothing worked harder than around turn
0:44
trusted on the water since 1952 mercury
0:48
and forest number one on the water and
0:51
outdoor Canada Canada's only national
0:54
fishing and hunting magazine
0:56
I was over 20 pounds yeah today's show
1:01
is going to be a real eye-opener for all
1:03
of you anglers out there who thought
1:05
about car park more correctly not
1:07
thought about carp as a worthy opponent
1:09
in the man versus fish game
1:13
believe it or not folks carp are the new
1:15
bass in Europe for the new t'roat
1:18
interestingly here in North America
1:20
cover once perceived as an invasive
1:22
species in the 1870s German common carp
1:25
are introduced to the northeastern US as
1:27
a replacement fish were dwindling fish
1:29
stocks on the Atlantic seaboard by the
1:31
1890s anglers were screaming the cart
1:34
were destroying the habitat of their
1:35
beloved largemouth and cleaning them out
1:37
by 1910 close to 10 million pounds were
1:41
harvested out of the lower Great Lakes
1:42
to say these fish are Hardy and prolific
1:45
is an understatement that's the biggest
1:46
carp on the government today you'll
1:48
playing carp just about anywhere there's
1:50
fresh warm brackish water look at the
1:52
friggin gar bear Ontario and
1:54
specifically the courses in Trent Severn
1:56
waterway are becoming internationally
1:59
known for their carp fishing and have
2:00
been attracting carpet lucious from all
2:02
over here and in particularly the UK
2:05
Rice Lake although not officially a
2:07
Kawartha lake but part of it via the
2:09
Trent Severn waterway system is a prime
2:12
example of Mother Nature sense of
2:14
balance remember at one time people in
2:17
the no thought carp were going to take
2:19
over but to the contrary they have
2:22
become resident members of an incredible
2:24
ecosystem providing habitat for bass
2:27
walleye muskie catfish and a host of
2:30
paid fish over the next couple of days
2:34
beat and IOC of the European style of
2:36
bank fishing is really more successful
2:38
than fishing from a boat you see in
2:41
Europe and the UK there's not a lot of
2:43
boats mostly because there's not a lot
2:46
of water Ontario on the other hand with
2:48
over 200,000 lakes has water that had
2:51
never seen a fisherman let alone a boat
2:54
that being said these avid fishermen
2:56
have made the best of their situation
2:57
and have become very successful of bank
3:00
fishing their techniques and specialized
3:02
gear are known and sold international
3:05
we have the fish but they have to know
3:07
how the basic technique used worldwide
3:12
for catching these bruisers is
3:13
pre-baiting or chumming promising water
3:15
preferably the night before allowing
3:17
carpeting gathered then casting a hook
3:19
bait into the area and wait for a strike
3:22
finding a spot that would work for both
3:24
of us turned out to be really easy
3:26
how about out the back door of our
3:28
cottage at Elmer's Lodge essentially
3:31
right off the dock from the shore
3:34
there's a clear flat for about a hundred
3:36
feet out then a line of milf oil about
3:38
20 feet thick that stretches in either
3:41
direction 300 feet like all fish cars
3:45
tend to hang around cover or structure
3:47
of some sort for protection so with a
3:49
little chumming on the weed line we're
3:51
in really good shape I put a whole
3:54
bucket out there they love to me thank
3:58
fishermen and both fishermen to set
4:00
their rods up on little stands called
4:02
pods they set their strike alarms grab a
4:04
comfortable chair have something to eat
4:06
read a book
4:07
and generally kill time until the alarm
4:09
goes off then typically all hell breaks
4:12
loose
4:18
[Music]
4:22
in the room but anyone is moving moving
4:26
a little bit so I'm going to work my way
4:27
down towards the shore here that's what
4:29
I can do with this fish my lion it is so
4:33
far out the toka WIDA
4:35
it's ridiculous of Florida I mean I
4:38
still made something they come loose but
4:40
this is a great situation for braided
4:43
line heavy braided line you run some
4:46
light stuff here you've already lost
4:47
that fish already broke off take it the
4:51
clump of weeds that's a pretty good carp
4:53
actually he was fighting those weeds
4:55
morning is fighting my bait now let's
4:58
see what I can do here put that there
5:01
like that come on there big boy like
5:05
that and there Bob's your uncle
5:10
look at that perfect hook as usual my
5:13
carp should pop right out like it does
5:16
and this is probably are very typical Oh
5:20
like our bit a little pop up for all
5:24
that with you it is is anybody did you
5:29
you see that show I got him on in a
5:36
plastic crimes little fake court and a
5:38
big pineapple corn so if that's any
5:41
indication and you got a perfect over
5:45
thanks for the Intel buddy they're not
5:50
going up to Lake nasty weeds they're
5:53
serious you love this car fishing back
5:56
and nobody's doing it
5:59
[Music]
6:06
today we're going to talk about what
6:08
we're using rod pods and banksticks carp
6:11
fishing in Canada is still in its
6:13
infancy so many anglers may not have
6:14
even heard of these tools but in Europe
6:16
and the UK there is common as rods and
6:19
reels this gear is primarily used by
6:21
carp fisherman but any angler who still
6:23
fishes with bait would appreciate this
6:25
equipment especially if he or she can
6:27
legally use more than one rod at a time
6:29
this allows you to sit back and relax
6:31
while you wait for a strike the banks
6:34
tick is an extendable rod with a pointy
6:35
end that goes in the ground some kind of
6:37
locking mechanism to adjust the height
6:39
of the extension and a universally
6:41
threaded female receptacle at the other
6:43
end that typically holds either the rod
6:45
or a bite alignment rod the butt rests
6:48
on the ground and the rod rests in a
6:49
pair of Forks a rod pot on the other
6:52
hand is a fully adjustable rack for
6:54
holding two or more rods complete with
6:55
bite alarms and butt rests fishermen
6:58
appears wharves rocky shorelines or
7:01
boats prefer the rod pod for stability
7:03
have a conversation with the pros of
7:06
sale to find out what setup is best for
7:08
you
7:09
[Music]
7:12
the beauty of a boat is his mobility
7:15
if fishing is slow in one spot ants can
7:17
move to another he's essentially got the
7:19
whole Lake to work you can use
7:22
electronics to chase the fish and settle
7:23
in new areas he also has the advantage
7:26
of being able to use just wrote an e
7:28
Roddy has on hand he doesn't need the
7:30
long rods like I'm using and Colette
7:32
cartful this boat halfway across the
7:34
lake Angelo has a challenge on his hands
7:37
because you won't know which way the
7:39
fish will take off with the hook and
7:40
just fishing on the other side of the
7:42
weed bed facing me and is casting into
7:44
our Chum water he has to be careful
7:46
because unlike shore fishing he doesn't
7:48
know which way to set the hawk if fish
7:50
may be between FMC one and the shore and
7:52
a hook carp could make a beeline right
7:54
towards the boat yep always swimming up
8:00
to the lake whoa
8:05
give that baby
8:06
he took a run right straight up nasty
8:10
weeds they're nasty weeds point Wow
8:17
sings up by the boat here somewhere oh
8:21
there he is get my baby yeah lift it
8:38
right up in your not easier on both of
8:41
us
8:42
especially be Oh whoo let's go back this
8:49
fish it from the top here all the way
8:51
down the bar that's I'm real girthy Curt
8:55
gonna love this guard fishing man and
8:57
nobody's doing it okay here we go
9:03
back home Peter Peter you everybody I
9:11
just released my order chunky oh dear I
9:14
don't know what you're getting the big
9:15
fat ones in there and I put holy smokes
9:17
they're great and it gets into those
9:19
weeds I'm trying to pull up have you
9:21
have you broken any yeah yeah for sure
9:28
without braids you'd be lost man for
9:30
sure gather get entangled a pretty good
9:32
anyways I probably have you beat already
9:35
but I'm going to try it up that good
9:37
luck did you know that Ontario offers
9:46
some of the finest carp fishing found
9:47
anywhere in the world well according to
9:50
the doc our very own gourd Peyser we're
9:52
sitting on an international goldmine of
9:54
freshwater game fish it didn't even do
9:56
it when the World Cup championship was
9:59
held in North America for the first time
10:01
in 2005 over 110 teams from all over the
10:05
planet showed up the fish the st.
10:06
Lawrence River we're the envy of the
10:09
carp fishing world because we can catch
10:10
as many carp in one day as European
10:13
anglers catch in an entire season more
10:16
and more Ontario anglers are giving it a
10:18
try you only have to catch a 20-pounder
10:20
once to be instantly hooked relatively
10:23
speaking this is an untouched fishery
10:25
and it's free for the taking
10:27
unlike some prime spots in Europe where
10:29
you have to pay sometimes exorbitantly
10:31
for the privilege it's no wonder that
10:34
Ontario is the number one destination
10:35
for carp enthusiasts all over the world
10:38
ah if you want to have fun on the water
10:40
you have to try carp fishing just
10:42
another reason to go fish in Ontario
10:49
there are a few benefits and drawbacks
10:51
to the fishing techniques that were
10:53
using today beats using a much larger
10:56
carp specific rod necessary for casting
10:58
long distances from shore they unload
11:00
their gun I'm fishing from FNC one are
11:04
modified Princecraft since I've got a
11:06
much shorter distance to cast I'm using
11:08
a regular spinning rod as well as an 8
11:10
foot heavy bait caster everything else
11:13
is pretty much the same including the
11:14
braided line for weeds as well as the
11:17
baits rigs and location I'm going to
11:20
take advantage of this dock to get my
11:21
baits way out in the fizz zone I can
11:24
cast so far with this long rod that
11:26
he'll run out of gas trying to fish my
11:28
water and tonight his kicker took seven
11:33
a black bear today and it shows the
11:34
versatility of trying to get these fish
11:36
right versatility of techniques wears oh
11:46
he's way up there somewhere
11:54
bring it up a half the bottom of race
11:56
lake with me whoa thinks he's a big
12:03
northern net on this guy closer looking
12:10
in
12:26
wiseguys got a lot of bright orange
12:29
around the tail end in the bottom of his
12:33
body another neat how are you buddy I'm
12:37
not as mean as you think I am right now
12:39
don't know why here in a second when I
12:42
put your back like right now
12:53
whoa see you goodbye Peter Peter come on
13:01
Peter
13:05
yeah I just I was gonna say I released
13:09
but actually your fish released himself
13:10
other than that over the gunnel in the
13:12
boat but it closed the 20 pounder big
13:19
yeah I hear you loud and clear on that
13:22
this got to tell you though I've had the
13:24
baitcaster on now for the last for a
13:26
while and I'm not I'm starting to become
13:29
a believer I think it can be done
13:31
regularly as long as we got great on
13:33
them I think it's great Raju that I'll
13:41
see you shortly
13:50
today's Greek carp fishing took place on
13:53
Rice Lake in southern Ontario the
13:55
Waypoint on your screen will get you
13:57
right there
13:58
each set up on the cottage property at
14:00
Elmhurst Resort while I pull down the
14:02
Princecraft about 100 yards offshore
14:04
Rice Lake along with the rest of the
14:06
quarter Lakes is known as an all-round
14:08
fantastic fishing layer including carp
14:11
we pre fed the area with boiled corn to
14:14
draw fish in next we cast out either
14:16
sweet corn extra large flavored corn as
14:19
well as pineapple boilies on various
14:21
slip and Bowl breaks and waited for our
14:23
bite alarm stuff start singing we feel
14:26
carp fishing is here to stay so why not
14:28
join us in seeking this great sport fish
14:30
throw more hot spots like this one check
14:32
out fish in canada calm
14:34
[Music]
14:40
[Music]
14:42
yeah look at that
14:49
uh really having a service already that
14:53
was awesome that fish checked it up good
14:57
that was the awesome now if I can hold
15:01
that fish out of the weeds I'll have a
15:02
much better fight with this guy figure
15:05
that we each coming in this bridge dug
15:09
off the Gore's landing but look at the
15:17
weed on them I think that there isn't
15:21
any powers but he's play misty I can't
15:23
even enjoy the ficus or somebody we doin
15:25
here I got a yeah that's a good fish
15:28
it's not bad
15:30
Wow nice okay I'm off the dock just get
15:38
these intermittent clouds I don't know
15:39
it means anything when the fish are
15:41
going to bite or not but okay here we go
15:48
turn around big girl look at that I
15:52
[Applause]
15:52
[Laughter]
15:57
think it's so sickening fish
16:03
it's the intended species right there
16:06
and tonight we're just having a blast
16:09
here today and it shows the versatility
16:10
of trying to get these fish right there
16:12
still it up techniques where it gets fun
16:17
what a fun fish and these court the fish
16:20
are such a good-looking fish well we had
16:23
a great day out in the water beat them a
16:25
little better than I did because it took
16:27
me so much longer to pull these bruisers
16:29
out of the weeds and that's a good one
16:31
hug my strikes the fish were running
16:34
away from the shore towards the boat and
16:36
into the weed line having the later rod
16:38
didn't help with that process it's so
16:41
much fun thumbs up for grabs are there
16:44
this show does point out a few things
16:47
fishing for and catching carp is fun
16:49
it's a great way to experience success
16:52
on and in this case
16:53
near the water to get to today's
17:02
outstanding Park fishing we took highway
17:04
401 east from Toronto and then headed
17:06
north on Peterborough Road 28 at Port
17:08
Hope we next turned east on country road
17:11
to through the town of team and then
17:14
turned south on settlers line which took
17:16
us to the beautiful Elmhurst resort on
17:18
Rice Lake
17:23
[Music]
17:29
I'd raise klp we're going to deal with
17:31
the key factor presentation and in this
17:33
species unlike anything you've ever
17:35
fished before requires a totally
17:37
different set of tools here's some of
17:39
the stuff we're going to use today
17:40
it can be very intricate by the way it
17:41
can be simple or intricate we like to
17:43
use corn to begin with as our bait and
17:45
as our feed your feed an area like a
17:47
spot like we're in today with kernel
17:49
corn but the key to this is you have to
17:50
pre boil is born or soak it for at least
17:53
24 hours because it'll make some soften
17:54
it breaks apart like that when you buy
17:56
this stuff it's hard and it will expand
17:58
in the fish's belly they'll still eat it
17:59
it'll expand under belly it's unsafe
18:01
this way we do boil it and expands in
18:03
pot and then you think oh there you feed
18:04
it it's perfectly safe for the fish now
18:06
that's what we use to attract the fish
18:07
to an area but then once the area's been
18:11
amply stocked chosen say and there is a
18:14
limit to that through that's a fine art
18:15
in itself knowing how much food to put
18:18
out you can over feed it Natalie for
18:19
sure once we've done that then we use
18:21
corn out of a can this one is peaches
18:23
and cream and bake them on a hook and
18:26
the other things you can use with them
18:27
what these that are artificial corn -
18:30
it's nice to have a rubber core maybe
18:32
I'll pineapple corn and a couple of
18:34
these corns believe it or not all these
18:35
flavors you just really have a good
18:36
sense of smell and cake you can really
18:39
load up the tackle box with different
18:40
thing that sets flavor sizes and added
18:43
running and you get to some of the other
18:44
years these new light indicators this
18:47
thing and a fifth bakes off fish even
18:51
though you're going to get bit right
18:52
there that's for sure
18:53
you can also get sets like this where
18:56
you can have multiple rods on a bank or
18:59
in today's case I'm going to use this on
19:01
the boat and just if there's three rod
19:03
paja let me get these all three remember
19:05
is only one rod per person you're
19:06
allowing these inland lakes
19:07
you've heard us say a million times that
19:10
the most important factor is location
19:12
locating fish because if you've got
19:15
great presentation and lots of knowledge
19:17
on the species but you're not sitting on
19:19
fish you're not going to have a great
19:20
day well this is kind of different
19:22
because in carp fishing you could be
19:25
sitting on a million fish and if you
19:27
don't feed them what they're looking for
19:29
forget it this is a whole different game
19:31
you got anybody
19:35
the fish in Canada show brought to you
19:38
