1:14
water bodies
1:15
lake skugog in ontario the reason i
1:18
refer to it as one of the warmest is
1:19
because it has an average depth of
1:20
only 4.5 feet it's also a very fertile
1:24
lake
1:24
the shallowness warmth of the water and
1:27
its sheer size makes googog

3:22
i'll be covering the latest fishing
3:23
canada carp cup competition
3:26
this year's roster is loaded up with
3:28
some of the hottest carp sticks in the
3:29
nation
3:30
this looking to be a real barn burner
3:34
this year's fishing canada carp cup not
3:36
only has a great prize package payout
3:39
but most importantly the winning team
3:41
will be sent to the upcoming world carp
3:43
classic
3:44
the super bowl of all fishing events
3:46
first of all i want to welcome all of
3:48
the new anglers not that i don't love
3:50
all the old anglers but
3:51
can we see all the new anglers first
3:53
timers here
3:55
i found out about a fishing canada carp
3:57
cup from
3:58
friends who have competed previous years
4:00
and decided
4:02
i wanted to take the plunge and do it
4:03
this year welcome to the fishing canada
4:05
carp cup and
4:06
all the best of luck to you you're gonna
4:07
have a great time for sure and for for
4:09
those of you who were here last year
4:11
uh welcome back let me tell you there's
4:13
more people
4:14
talking carp in this country now than
4:17
there were a year ago
4:18
and it's growing by the day
4:23
fantastic let the party begin
4:27
i thought as a bass angler that we were
4:29
pretty uh crazy about
4:31
gadgetry and stuff but these guys take
4:33
it to a whole other level
4:40
have a look at this so what i have here
4:43
is a spam this little rocket shaped
4:46
device
4:47
has a little pressure plate on the front
4:49
and when it hits the water
4:51
it opens up so what can we do with that
4:54
do you think pete you think we might be
4:55
able to load that up with bait and
4:56
send it out there could be a great idea
4:58
wouldn't that be a smart idea that would
4:59
be awesome
5:00
so let me show you this mix that we're
5:02
running with today as well
5:03
so lawrence actually today went out and
5:06
bought these
5:07
high protein horse pellets and i've
5:10
mixed that in with the
5:11
whole corn and the crack corn that i
5:14
have in here that's been soaking in
5:15
garlic powder and salt
5:19
for some time now what we do is we load
5:22
it in here
5:24
and as you can see it latches shut and
5:27
it's not going to go anywhere so now
5:29
we're going to walk it out there we're
5:30
going to cast it out
5:32
and yeah with any luck it'll bring us
5:33
some luck it's the water it opens up
5:35
opens up in the back
5:36
every side of it every time that's
5:37
awesome
5:39
[Music]
5:43
let's get another one out there
5:47
this bombs away
5:55
i guess old school is out the door carp
5:57
enthusiasts are an advanced bunch
5:59
and often come armed with more gizmos
6:01
and gadgets than james bond
6:03
i thought as a bass angler that we were
6:05
pretty crazy about
6:07
gadgetry and stuff but these guys take
6:09
it to a whole other level
6:10
so this is a sonar unit and what they're
6:14
doing is gonna they're gonna cast it out
6:15
let the wind drag it across certain
6:17
areas that they want to fish
6:18
and it's coming up on the tablet that's
6:21
set up here so it's just like having
6:22
sonar on the boat
6:24
except here you're casting out to the
6:25
area and letting it float
6:28
and boom look at this
6:35
that is fantastic matt think of it of of
6:38
bass anglers as hunters and this type of
6:42
fishing and these
6:43
anglers are more like farmers what
6:45
they're going to do they're going to
6:46
feed
6:46
or chum the area with food various types
6:49
various times of the day various amounts
6:51
they're going to call fish to them as
6:53
opposed to
6:54
going out after them in a boat totally
6:57
different strategy
6:58
and just as effective show us what you
7:01
got here this is really cool i think
7:03
it's
7:04
the only one i've seen here so far this
7:06
one is like
7:07
you know the centrifuge still turning
7:10
yeah
7:11
and it just distributes exactly nice now
7:13
how far will it how far will it
7:15
distribute like
7:16
uh t meters nice well let's have a look
7:19
let's have a look man this is exciting
7:21
so he's just gonna launch it for the
7:23
very first time
7:24
and he just brought it in from europe
7:26
i've seen a lot of them over there i've
7:27
not seen one here before in canada so
7:29
it's very cool
7:30
her maiden voyage here we go that's
7:34
technology at its best right there
7:37
look at this thing going
7:42
carp fishing can be as basic as you want
7:45

7:45
can also be the most sophisticated form
7:47
of angling

10:24
things are starting to really heat up
10:26
here at fish and canada carp cup
10:28
okay let's squeeze some fish boys take
10:33
big or small we'll weigh them all
10:34
gentlemen
10:36
as we made our rounds to the various
10:38
pegs for our daily weigh-ins
10:40
we happened upon some of the craziest
10:42
carp action we've seen to date
10:49
what do you got 30.9 nice work boys
10:53
just goes to show you this tournament is
10:56
one
10:57
you know you can win this whole thing in
10:58
an hour yeah it's on for four days but
11:01
you need a good hour good solid hour of
11:03
fishing oh i see an awful lot of moving
11:06
around in that bag
11:07
with multiple teams encompassing such a
11:09
large area as the carp cut
11:11
it's inevitable that a little carp chaos
11:13
of our own would be taking place
11:15
it's nice and easy though is it small
11:18
i don't it's like glued it's almost like
11:20
it's rubbing me on bottom or something
11:23
it's in the channel that's not a small
11:25
fish no
11:31
so what's going on here bill's got a
11:33
fish on it's caught between some rocks
11:36
and uh they're gonna push the boat out
11:38
go out after with the boat
11:40
this could be exciting
11:43
this could be exciting
11:46
[Music]
11:51
that's all you need
11:52
[Music]
11:54
whoa the other fan the other ride the
11:56
other ride
11:57
so they got a fish shot stuck there they
11:59
go out the boat but all of a sudden
12:01
their other rod goes
12:04
oh my god carp fisher man you gotta love
12:06
it
12:09
that is classic day two fishing canada
12:12
carp cup
12:13
and we have mayhem going on here
12:18
a lot of people kill for that right now
12:20
on this system
12:24
tour bill look at him out there that's a
12:28
first
12:28
never seen that happen before where
12:30
we've seen double headers but
12:32
not quite like this where one has to go
12:34
out in the boat to get his off
12:36
bill's got his he's coming back with his
12:38
now and of course paul's got his bagged
12:40
already
12:41
crazy crazy action crazy action
12:45
although one of these double-header fish
12:46
was immediately called
12:48
these skilled anglers have positioned
12:50
themselves as a force to be reckoned
12:51
with
12:53
[Music]
12:56
i'm not a carp expert but i know we have
12:58
a lot of carp
13:00
in this province i mean a lot absolutely
13:04
incredible
13:09
to get to today's carp fishing location
13:11
for pete's portion of the show
13:13
he took highway 401 to simcoe street
13:15
north in oshawa
13:16
he then turned right onto 7a at port
13:19
perry
13:20
after crossing the skough causeway he
13:22
turned left heading north on island road
13:24
and next turned left onto stevenson
13:26
point road he finally turned right on
13:29
platinum boulevard
13:30
and then left on percy crescent and
13:32
ended up at sunset haven
13:34
owner lawrence bendandy has a perfect
13:37
location on lake
13:38
for carp anglers to set up base camp
13:40
there's great accommodations
13:42
it's close to the town of port perry and
13:44
best of all he's on a huge
13:46
hard bottom area in the normally weed
13:48
choke lake skugog
13:50
for the fish in canada carp cup we first
13:52
drove east on highway 401
13:54
we then took dickinson drive south to
13:57
highway 2 at ingleside
13:58
the stretch along highway 2 on the saint
14:01
lawrence river from
14:02
ingleside to the town of long sioux is
14:04
without doubt
14:05
one of the best carp fisheries in the
14:07
world
14:09
this one's kiting it feels like another
14:11
stand down smaller fish but yeah it's
14:13
staying down
14:15
much as possible you note there what i
14:17
did this time and i think that actually
14:19
may have saved me
14:20
was i walk back with it now that's a big
14:22
that's a technique that a lot of the uk
14:24
guys do when they're fishing
14:26
the snags on the margins on the far side
14:28
is as soon as they pick that rod up
14:30
they take a couple good steps back right
14:32
and that's just going to
14:34
give that fish less and less ability to
14:36
to pull the line
14:37
right well as soon as you you're
14:39
fighting a fish if you do this
14:41
then you start to reel as soon as you do
14:42
that back towards him that gives that a
14:44
carp fish you know 20 30 pound fish
14:46
gives him all kinds of movement to turn
14:48
to turn away right
14:49
absolutely so let's see you're stopping
14:51
him from turning that's cabbage wheat on
14:52
there right there
14:53
that's musky stuff right there everybody
14:54
solid
14:57
it's like he knows where those lines are
14:59
just trying to wipe them out on me
15:00
oh that's bad that's bad ever
15:04
let's just bring him around here and
15:05
then the feet keep him away from that
15:07
dock i don't want to have a repeated
15:08
last time
15:09
he's being a clown isn't he nice
15:12
these little guys are freaking bombs hey
15:15
hey run like what oh there you go
15:20
[Music]
15:22
oh yeah well that
15:26
just happened that just happened
15:30
oh my goodness all right well we're
15:31
gonna leave this one on the dock i'm
15:33

15:34
i've been waiting for double for a while
15:36

15:38

15:40
the uk people you uk people are

[Applause]
17:23
if we could get everybody thinking in
17:25
terms of carp becoming a viable species
17:28
like walleye like bass like all of them
17:31
sooner we grow and
17:32
and because we're the founders we're
17:34
going to grow along with that
17:35
what we're pushing for is to make carp
17:38
an actual game pass
17:40
if everybody left here today with the
17:42
intention
17:43
of doing nothing more than introducing
17:46
one
17:47
person a young person preferably to carp
17:50
fishing
17:51
you've done your job we've doubled our
17:53
our society
