Thanks for adding this William

Thanks Nailer. I hope people find this informative as we certainly learned a lot while shoot it..

We recently completed the following documentary of the Ringwood Fish Culture Station processes after following the efforts of volunteer group from the Metro East Anglers for the past year.

This video, now being shown at the Sportsman Show in Toronto, shows the full process from egg collection to releasing reared salmon and trout back into the tributaries of Lake Ontario.

This should be of interest to all outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy the great Lake Ontario fishery we have today.

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback Priority1!

This video is Part 2 of our Bay of Quinte walleye trip.

Here you'll see numerous fish being caught including one just under 12 pounds as well as a huge 15.5 pound trophy (at the 7:53 mark of the video).

It was an unusually mild December day with a bit of rain in the afternoon and a consistent 'walleye chop' all day. A good bite throughout with all of the popular stick baits producing well. Most fish released with a couple of the smaller ones taken for the table.

Hope you enjoy!

A big lake in Leelanau Co.

Always enjoys your videos JB, nicely done!

Any ice there yet?

We recently spent a few days fishing on the Bay of Quinte for large walleye. This is a brief video showing some of the walleye we caught during one of the outings.

While in the Bay we fished with Aaron from Canadian Trophy Fishing Adventures and Mike from Salmon Fishing Charters. Both are very competent, knowledgeable and friendly charter captains.

We're looking forward to the ice season and will definitely be paying the Bay of Quinte a visit when it freezes.

Part 2 of this walleye video contains footage of a 12 and 15.5 pound walleye. To be posted next ...

Hope you enjoy!

Thank you Nailer. This working for a living is cutting into my fishing time. Something is going to have to give. Thanks again

Hi everyone,

The following is our latest downrigger footage of salmon and trout strikes. Most footage was taken between 60 and 100 feet down over 200 to 320 feet of water. A bit of a challenge for the small sensor camera but the final footage cleaned up reasonable well.

Hope you enjoy!

Very nice videos! Do you have any pictures of how you attach the GoPro to the ball? How far back is the rig, 10-15ft? That sure is pretty cool.

Thanks SPOONWASHER. We're off to Algonquin to do some wilderness fishing for a few days but when we get back I'll put a video together showing the setups we tried. The baits were run about 3 feet behind the cameras at 100 feet down. Any further back and they disappeared into the green ..

nice video but reminds me why I don't like Spin Doctors in several sections you can see the Spin Doctor moving wildly while the fly behind it hardly moves.

Thats a good point, MAINIAC. When we say this we shortened the lead from the SD to the fly to about 14-16 inches. Much more motion and much more productive.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Should have some more footage soon.

Hi everyone,

The following is a sample of downrigger footage we have taken during this salmon season on Lake Ontario. Most of the footage was shot down 80 to 110 feet which challenges the smaller sensor camera but we're happy with some of the results.

Hope you enjoy!

William, your videos are outstanding! If you don't mind me asking what camera are you using, I see a few GoPros on the boat but how about for underwater footage? How is it attached to the ball and what is the blowback like? Again those are some awesome videos, I subscribed to the channel!

Thanks for the comments and for subscribing, SPOONWASHER!! For the various fishing videos we are using some combination of Canon XF300, 2 Canon XF100's, Canon 7D and 8 GoPro's. We're still working on the best mounting arrangement, however for the cannonball cams (GoPro's). We did another trial run last night but haven't reviewed the footage yet. As soon as we work this out we'll post here.

Thanks again for watching!

do you have real time feed while filming?? it be interesting to see an induced bite by speeding up then doing a neutral drop.....

today...maybe yesterday... might have been two days ago, ...does it matter... i was dropping and raising lines on riggers, letting line out and reeling them in on boards...mind you only ten feet at a crack, but i finally got a fish to eat off a high line....I reeled in a bunch of line, no more than turned around....bing......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ "FISH ON!! HIGH BOARD!! HIGH BOARD!! I know it was because i had "toyed" with the line, but doing it blind can be a lot of work..

then again i have a funky little dance that works at times too...

LOL

Hi Phisy, no, we don't have realtime viewing with the current camera setup - simply 'set it and forget it'.

We do exactly the same thing as you are describing with constantly turning and moving balls up and down slightly when marking a follower on the Lowrance. It has worked out quite well for us. We also just keep track of initial ball speed and if strikes were on the inside or outside of a turn and adjust speeds accordingly. Real time would be nice but there has to be some anticipation ...

ive seen a few videos of at the ball action and what i am finding curious is how many time the fish miss...it seems if you are going to slow they loose interest ans swim around the bait, but dial it up a notch and they light up....as long as your lures are running right i don't think you can go too fast, particularly this time of the year with the warm water and bait in that warm water

nice vid!! keep all the camera angles....

We'll be posting our view from the cannonball video shortly and it shows a number of fish that don't fully commit to the bait as well as the takers.

What is amazing is how many fish appear behind the baits and just follow at a distance from the moment the balls reach depth to the moment the balls are raised.

Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Hi everyone,

The following is a sampling of the fish we caught during week one of the Great Ontario Salmon Derby including one Chinook just over 25 pounds.

We have also been experimenting with a cannonball camera setup to add to the angles we already have and have included a few rough sequences in this video. The next video to be posted will be just a compilation of the best from those cameras - some cool footage and it's interesting watching the salmon and trout behaviours just prior to the strike.

For those interested, most of our fish during the week came from the balls set at 80, 90 and 100 feet in 100 to 315 FOW and the wire dipseys on the 3 setting back 250'. Predominantly a flasher/fly bite with greens being the most productive and a number taken on spoons, also glow green with dark spots.

Hope you enjoy,

The following video is a brief excerpt from our latest adventure on Lake Ontario. This trip was focused on targeting rainbows.

Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to GLF William. Thanks for sharing.

How many cameras did you have going?

Thanks for the comments and the welcome everyone!

Nailer, we were running 2 Canon HD cameras and 8 wireless GoPro's. A bit of a handful to operate and fish sometimes (and a bit of a challenge to edit) but worth it in the end, we think.

We finally have a boat running on Lake Ontario again and decided to take a break from kayak fishing to chase some salmon and rainbows. The following is Part 1 of our series on Lake Ontario fishing.

Hope you enjoy.
