Great fishing video. You're out with the best. Beautiful Salmon !

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Those are called Islander reels, they are made on Vancouver Island BC. If you Google "Islander mooching reels", you should be able to find them. Good luck!

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks! The audio and music are probably the hardest part of getting these video features done. They can change the feel of the video so easily.

@1Moongate 12 лет назад

Thank you for sharing with me and others the fun we pursue for self. Thank you, Camera gal for getting the shots, wish you had better luck hooking up. I need to find job that will put me in the Pacific NorthWest, that would be very nice……what are those words that are soooo invigorating…….FISH ON!!! Thank you

@w200build 12 лет назад

Your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for this channel.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

This is pretty much what BC's summer looks like isn't it? ;) It's unbelievable how little sunshine we have gotten so far this spring.

@bigbc5293 4 года назад

Love your videos rod I also use bon chovy every year when I take my father and boys out they are such a great outfit really professional and they know their fishing we have limited out every time. Keep up the great vids

@FishingwithRod 4 года назад

Thanks Kirk! Bon Chovy is pretty awesome for sure. :)

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

That is a flasher, which is used to attract fish to your bait by its movement and flashes while travelling in the water. Take a look at the video "How to Fish: Salmon Trolling Essentials" and you will see those flashers more closely. No such thing as a stupid question. ;)

@corvus2929 11 лет назад

you are aw-sum and i would love to see more videos like this. love the videos, keep up the good work

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Yep, chaos when there is a newbie on board. ;) Thanks.

@Monst780 11 лет назад

I have a great idea, lets bring a bitumen pipeline to Vancouver's harbor and add 10 supertankers a month to Howe Sound traffic!

@joshfernandez69 4 года назад

Love your vids keep up the good work

@FishingwithRod 4 года назад

Thank you!

@Bazlur-Metrotown 12 лет назад

for stocked rainbows in the lake most people use floating egg or paste with small hooks( Fl. Yellow or Fl.organge or Pink color) and you have to use light line(4ib) and small hook and sinker which will stay on the lake floor and the bait will float one to two meter above and best chance if you use fluorocarbon line( from sinker to hook portion) and rest of the method he explained above and he made some videos how to rig and fish in the lake and stream

@2sl1ck 11 лет назад

"that was a bit of a gong show eh" awesome

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

The grass is always greener on the other side. ;) I used to live and fish in Australia and there are fisheries that I enjoyed very much (snapper, whiting, travally). If you want to try salmon and trout fishing, this is definitely the place to be but for a large diversity of saltwater species to fish for, Australia is definitely better.

@remoravictim 12 лет назад

Looks fun. Good job guys. Keep up the good work

@hattrickster33 12 лет назад

Man it looks like summer's already over lol

@justinosmond 12 лет назад

Love your videos, Rod. Great work!

@HATINTHEKAT 12 лет назад

whoa lookout we got a badass over here ^^^ =O

@morefishing 10 лет назад

just love Fishing! Nice video!

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

No, those are mooching reels. They are fairly similar to fly reels and centerpin reels, with a one to one gear ratio, but there is also a drag that can be applied to them. Please look up "Islander MR3" for more information.

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

The ocean is big, and deep, so these fish can be anywhere, at any depth, depending on where their feed is. The guide usually has an idea where they might be, based on catches from past years and other clues. I'm sure on very good days a few hook-ups per hour is always possible. For this particular fishery, we had a great day considering most boats did not catch anything.

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

It depends on what type of fishing you wish to do. If you want to cast and retrieve a lure, a spinning rod around 8 or 9' long, rated 8 to 12lb and can cast up to 1/2oz of weight is good. If you want to float fish, a 10'6" baitcasting or centerpin rod, rated 8 to 12/15lb is a good option. Check out Shimano Clarus, which have models in these specs.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

It depends on the time of the year and how far the trip is from Vancouver, this particular charter offers season specials and packages. The crabbing is always included in the trip (unless it is not too productive, Between April and June is always a good bet).

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks. We mostly film with our Canon 550D/T2i. We do have waterproof cameras but they are rarely used, only for underwater footages.

@pinda83 12 лет назад

Again a awesome vid. Thnx

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

@KassPaAttHava 10 лет назад

I haven't tried fishing salmons yet, looks kinda fun!

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Not yet. Hopefully soon.

@ethanbrumley69 12 лет назад

I'm 14 watch your videos, my all-time favorite hobby is fishing. I love it. My dream is to go fishing with you someday please reply!!!

@fishing_with_joy 12 лет назад

Nice Video. Love all your videos.

@jegerover18ar 12 лет назад

Good job Rodney and Nina! But Nina could u please film the city when they talk about how close it is, so i can see for my self ^^ Btw will there come a video from denmark this year? ;)

@decklanfinlay746 11 лет назад

that was a wild spring salmon u caught

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. :)

@josephpascuzzo672 11 лет назад

youve probably never fished in your life ahah rod is awesome

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Yep. The daily quota is there to make sure you'll have more 20+ fish days next year, and the year after....

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks! I don't remember what brand those rods were as they were the guide's, but mooching rods rated between 15-25lb, or 20-30lb should be good for this type of fishery as we were running 25lb test line. Shimano makes pretty good mooching rods, so does a local brand in Vancouver called Trophy XL.

@BoRovan 12 лет назад

Great Fishing Video!

@toutaw559 12 лет назад

Nice videos Rod

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Good guesses. T2i actually, which is pretty outdated now so a T3i would be a better model to go for with the flip view finder. Thanks!

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

That is a Grady White Marlin.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

No, they are mooching rods, which are specifically designed for this type of saltwater fishing in this area.

@FishingwithRod 10 лет назад

Our winter chinook salmon fishing and crabbing feature just reached 100k views! :) Thanks for watching. This particular video features the fishing opportunities which are available right now just outside of Downtown Vancouver. The next few months should be pretty awesome, so be sure to give Bon Chovy Fishing Charters a call if you are in the area and want to give it a go.

@MiklerRaymond 11 лет назад

Look tasty.......YUM!

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

For dungeness crab in British Columbia, the minimum length of the widest part of the carapace is 165mm or 6.5 inches.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks!

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

There isn't a bait ban throughout the summer months on the Fraser River, usually. A bait ban is usually implemented by DFO in September and part of October to protect the endangered interior coho salmon and steelhead. When there is a bait ban, bar fishing is no longer so useful. It's best just to switch to casting and retrieving spoons and spinners. If you are fishing between Hope and Chilliwack, you can still bar fish with a spin n' glow, which spins in the current and attracts fish.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

A charter trip like the one we did in this video (five hours, just outside of Downtown Vancouver for salmon trolling and crabbing) can vary from $100 - $250 per person, depending on how many people on the boat. This particular charter had a winter special earlier this year, which was $409 for four people (tax and licence not included) for five hours of fishing, which is the best deal you'll find in this area.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Do a search for "rainbow trout" on our RU-vid channel and website, you'll come up with tons of content on bait for rainbow trout fishing. Check out the video feature "Float, egg, trout!" from last month, which demonstrates how to catch rainbows with natural single eggs. There will also be a couple of other video features coming up later this year on rainbow trout bait. :)

@mahawkins 12 лет назад

My guess is they're using a Canon 7D or T3i. Great look with these cameras and really professional look. Awesome job Rod & Nina!

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Those rods are just fine. They're bent to the butt while sitting in the rod holder since there are a couple of 20lb cannonballs hanging at the end of the lines.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Ya, the line was still in the clipper of the downrigger so I had to yank it hard to get it out. My mistake was that I did not reel down before yanking, so there was too much slack in the line and it wouldn't come off the clipper. Rookie mistake.

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

Thank you. :)

@tsukasauus 11 лет назад

I want to invite you to Russia to Sakhalin, the salmon of a version suffices, fishing excellent.

@PatrickCha13 12 лет назад

At 9:36 he clipped it onto the line. All i know is that it takes the bait or something down, but i don't know how it works. Sorry i've never fished on a boat. Only bank fishing. Sorry if i sound stupid.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

The city is literally right behind us, less than 10km. We couldn't get a better video of it because it was actually raining most of the time. :) No videos from Denmark anytime soon, but we'll keep trying. ;)

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

I believe that is one of the new reels from Trophy XL.

@lephytheelf 11 лет назад

Gota love fishing in August of Sooke 20+ fish a day to bad limits in 4

@milkdiscofunk1447 7 лет назад

Nice. I'm usually hesitant to fish in busy harbours like that but you pulled some clean fish there. I was raised across the channel in nanaimo so might be giving this guy a shout in the near future if he's still doing this. Did he mention what he charged for something like what you guys did in the video?

@FishingwithRod 7 лет назад

Definitely. Most of the fishing is actually done further away from the big ships, in Howe Sound, in front of Bowen, Fraser River mouth etc. :) How much the charters are depends on the time of the year. In the winter months from January to March there is a winter special, which is quite a bit cheaper than the summer rates of course. Jason has all the info on bonchovy.com

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

what green thing? At what part of the video?

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@MrDoberman101 12 лет назад

wow. how much does that cost you? does that come with fishing and crabbing combo or was it extra for crabbing? i would love to do that someday. good video as always.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Add trout and char to that list.

@zordon12345 12 лет назад

@fishingwithrod I did say trout but yes add char to the list!

@sickprojects 12 лет назад

Are you allowed to use spears for fishing? Me and some friends are going to make a video when the salmon are done spawning, when they are just about to die. Is it legal to spear fish with harpoons and 4 pronged fish spears?

@nolanminor6761 11 лет назад

Are salmon really that spread out when you fish for them? Or were you just being really positive saying that a fish an hour is pretty good?

@mahawkins 12 лет назад

T2i is still a solid camera. Are you guys using the Magic Lantern firmware on it? I'd love to have the audio settings from it on the 7D I have, but they won't be bringing it to it.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

Thanks for watching! :)

@ENHS2006 12 лет назад

that's the down rigger clip

@joacimbs 12 лет назад

I am learning to fly fish now:O

@crosask 11 лет назад

Great video Rod! I know nothing about Salmon fishing and enjoyed it. It's good you were asking tons of questions because they'd be the same ones I'd be asking as a newbie. PS, you should delete that dialogue with Helena.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

We were keeping those fish, so the most humane way is to kill them immediately instead of letting them sitting in the cooler slowly suffocate to death. In fact, in British Columbia you are required to kill the fish you want to keep immediately by law.

@miaaschenback9301 11 лет назад

hey if you come to orlando flordia ocoee please tell me mabey we can do deep sea fishing

@ashtonmurray7838 10 лет назад

good video

@justinosmond 12 лет назад

Also, Rod, how clean is the water off down town Vancouver? Most city ports are too polluted I'm sure. Do you know anything about this? Thanks :)

@Bauka9707 11 лет назад

tell me whether you can catch rainbow trout on the meat? I'm sorry if there are mistakes in what I say I live in Kazakhstan, I can not speak English I translated the words for Google translator

@SNiperProxify 12 лет назад

What kind of bate is best for rainbow trout fishing? would artificial fish eggs work well?

@YoungGunnFishinPNW 12 лет назад

hey rod ... u set the hook a little to hard on the first keeper fish. :)

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

10'6" Shimano Convergence or Clarus.

@SNiperProxify 12 лет назад

alright, thanks :)

@fishlessfishermenfishingan4613 9 лет назад

claws on them are bloody tiny, I was wondering why he just reached in there. muddies I catch here have massive claws that cut through fingers and bone like its nothing, last time I caught a crab the claws were almost as big as my fist ...

@FishingwithRod 9 лет назад

Definitely can't complain these to mud crab as these claws do very little damages if they pinch you.

@fishlessfishermenfishingan4613 9 лет назад

Makes me look forward moving there then lol catching crabs instead of wrestling them sounds like a nice change haha

@leolldankology 5 лет назад

There is only .5 things that won't kill you in Australia.

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

They are not fly rods, they are mooching rods.

@FishingwithRod 11 лет назад

I've never fished in Quebec so not exactly sure what species are native to that area.

@PatrickCha13 12 лет назад

What was that green thing he hooked onto the line?

@jacobblaikie467 12 лет назад

Try halibut fishing

@Chopinco 11 лет назад

@124swag 12 лет назад

what camera are you using? Nice video!

@jroguexxiong331 11 лет назад

what kind of rod type would you suggest for those fresh salmon coming through the river?

@robbiemiller6272 12 лет назад

why did they hit the fish with a stick?

@anim604 10 лет назад

Hey Rod! I'm currently wondering what's a good fishery to go for during the month of June? I chatted up Steve from First Light Fishing per your recommendation and he suggested Pikeminnow but they're a bit undersized and somewhat difficult to catch due to freshet. What would you be fishing for around this season that's a decent size? Thanks!

@FishingwithRod 12 лет назад

That's good, would you like a medal as well?
