Man i love the looks of browns. So beautiful.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

From the changing colours and different patterns

[@TimeOnTheLake]

Amazing fish!!!
Guess Pump really does know fishing lol
Great video.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

I got lucky 👍

[@adamg.5854]

I've got to give bottom bouncing a try. Looking forward to watching.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

I enjoy it. It’s a different method of catching fish

[@troychishow1902]

Wow! Awesome 🔥

[@billnurse5321]

Nice fish I love the browns especially the chrome ones

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Chrome browns are nice especially when they get the blue cheeks

Thanks 👍

[@machinegun3133]

I used to fish there all of the time back in the day. I havent been there in 13 years or so. I always used a pin while fishing from shore right where you were. Large slipfloat, tones of lead, and good 2 go. A good friend of mine passed away there in 2016. Maybe you met him, he'd always be parked there in his trailer. His name was John Canzona. cheers brother

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

I’ve always wanted to try that. I was also thinking of using my side planer with my spiral wrap baitcaster setup and target the browns that are tucked close to the shoreline. I’ll have to do it one of these days.
As for your buddy, I’ll probably have to see a pic of him. The locals down there probably do

[@pgdtourpgdtour]

Where about is this

[@truenorthangler]

You were tearing it up that day, bro. Your Simms buddy must of been jealous. That last fish was a dinosaur. Massive fish, congrats.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Just breaking my balls. He was actually happy that day when I landed that dinosaur

[@aaangling1980]

I’ve fished there and got snagged a bunch glad to see you getting them awesome video

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Getting snagged on bottom is part of bottom bouncing. You just gotta figure out the right weight to get the consistent tick over the drag and tick. Once you get that down the fishing will get a lot easier

[@aaangling1980]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING okay thank you and yeah your right hooking a snag those things fight harder then fish 😂😂

Nice going

Thanks

Tank!!!

[@tappull2342]

Never seen a gut like that before

[@nathanngo6577]

May I ask how much weight were you using to bottom bounce?

[@braaaapp]

Beautiful browns! When was this video taken? Keep the videos coming!

[@nimble1918]

Did you snag on bottom at all or that corkie does the trick?

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

It helps but I get snagged on bottom all the time with the sinker

[@thehorror7135]

Hey Pump....quick question...do you harvest and cure your own roe or do you buy it? I've never seen you keep any fish so I'm curious.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Sometimes i do or I get my eggs from fishheadscanada.net

[@thehorror7135]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING thanks. I don't have any and I wasn't sure if keeping a fish for eggs was frowned upon or not.

[@thehorror7135]

I have a desire to hit the hard water this season. I've never been ice fishing before. May try to get up to Simcoe if the pandemic allows it. I'd have to take a bus up there, so I'm not exactly sure if it will be doable this year.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Yea, not sure if we’ll be getting any safe ice this year. I’d recommend going with a outfitter that can provide a hut, rod and minnows

[@thehorror7135]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING It maybe warm now, but it is supposed to be getting pretty cold due to the polar vortex. I've already looked at some operators due to being pretty restricted in where I can go as I don't drive. I may splash out and just buy a ice fishing rod. I have a ultra light reel that should be ok to match it with.

[@fatimaquadri7225]

Is it legal to fish for steelhead in the Toronto, Ajax and Pickering area in rivers, creeks, and streams I've been wanting to go on the water lately but Im not sure if its aloud right now. Also what day is trout opener.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

I’m not sure myself

[@MightyMarioBros378]

I still haven't caught my first steelhead hopefully I can get my first one very soon

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

It’s been a very tough fall/winter but you’ll get them soon

[@bradburnside213]

Any idea where to get a replacement knob (factory) for the handle of this reel? I have the same one.

Have you tried contacting Shimano directly?

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Not sure. Haven’t been in 2 months

[@bkjeong4302]

Any bottom-bouncing tips to maintain contact?

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Play around with the different size sinkers so you feel the constant ticks off the the bottom. You don’t want your rig to drag bottom

[@bkjeong4302]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING What does a tick feel like anyways? I think I don't know when the sinker is in contact with the bottom when bottom-bouncing.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

@@bkjeong4302 start with the heaviest weight you have so you make contact with the bottom. You don’t want the weight to be dragging on the bottom so you start to gradually change your weight lighter to find which weight has a constant tapping feeling with the bottom

[@DrunknMnky]

Nice fish as always. With all the covid restrictions are we allowed to fish?

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Haven’t looked into it. Maybe try checking the OFAH website to see what their stance on it

[@reeloutdoorscanada]

Great fishing videos! You are dialed into that bottom bouncing set up for browns! New subscriber here!

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

Once you get the hang of it it’s very enjoyable but if you don’t it’s very unpleasant haha

[@reeloutdoorscanada]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING I know what you mean. I was with a famous fishing guide in sault ste marie John Gugliani fishing for Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout in 2019 bottom bouncing for them, we hooked up a lot. We were running slinky weights with the 3 way swivel as he said they don't get caught in the rocks as easy. As apposed to the pencil weights. But before that trip I had no idea how enjoyable it can be feeling the bottom until a fish smashes it.

[@tackleboxtonyy]

Nice! But lose the gloves.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

What’s wrong with the gloves?

[@tackleboxtonyy]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING it’s harmful to their slime coat. Wet bare hands is the way to roll amigo

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

@@tackleboxtonyy I think that only occurs with over handling of fish

[@tackleboxtonyy]

@@PUMPKNOWSFISHING common misconception unfortunately.

[@PUMPKNOWSFISHING]

@@tackleboxtonyy I’ve watched the vid of the cotton glove tailing that fish in a tank. I think that’s too extreme. I don’t think it’s that harmful compared to hooking into a fish, fighting it till exhaustion, then keeping it out of the water for a long period of time for a photo
