Great to see you two fishing together again. I know there will be more in 2022. The only thing missing from this video was Kitty eating hot soup and Rod spilling hot tea!
I visit this awesome place every year one week before you guys go , and I’ve been rewarded with the most beautiful memories over the last ten years or so with my work buddies . Every trip to there is simply wonderful , the staff, guides, and fishing are just amazing people …
Definitely, every aspect of this trip is very special, and you hear the same from everyone who has been. 🙂 Looking forward to it again in a few months from now!
My next trip to Melbourne isn't until 2024 at the moment, for my next high school reunion, but I am also hoping that something could happen sooner than that too! It'd be sweet if I can connect with some King Georges, calamari, snapper and bream again during one visit lol. 😜
On lake Huron they have Atlantic salmon and the biologist that I met told me that the Atlantic salmon fight so hard to escape that they almost always die. So they recommend that if you catch one that you keep it because if you try to release it that it will probably die . And they are great table fair.
That wheel is for steering the motor while trolling instead of using the main steering wheel. This way you are all the way at the back of the boat, being able to see the rods by turning your head up to 90 degrees, seeing the depth sounder in front of you, instead of sitting at the driver seat, turning 180 degrees for the rod while also looking forward to make sure you're not running into trouble. I'm pretty sure it is custom built in by themselves, a really great idea.
Thanks Kyle! Those reels are pretty unique and pretty much only exclusively used in British Columbia (even down in Washington State they are not really used for salmon fishing), probably because we are strange that way. 😉 They are known as mooching reels, more like a centerpin reels, except they have a drag system. We use them mostly because people want to stick with the tradition, and the fight is more challenging/exciting with them since the gear ratio is one to one. They function pretty much the same as the baitcasting reels. The free spool function allows the line to go down with the downrigger really smoothly, and the drag system does exactly what it's supposed to, slowing the fish down when they get on the hook.
@@FishingwithRod Interesting stuff! They look elegantly simplistic. Newer isn't always better! You guys looked to do alright! Plus tradition is worth something. As you say it looks like it really adds to the sport seeing as Kitty lost her first one and really didn't look to do anything wrong! Thank you for the rundown.
Yeah definitely. When it comes to maintenance and durability, you really can't go wrong with these reels because the design is so simplistic. Unscrew, a quick rinse, re-grease and re-assemble, they'd last forever.
The rod is a Shimano Technium. These are the models available: fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-TECHNIUM_MOOCHING_A.html The length is 10'6" for all of them, just the lb ratings are different. I personally like the 12-20lb. Dave Murphy in the video has also done a separate video with a good overview of this setup: th-cam.com/video/3QLnUS_kLXU/w-d-xo.html You can also go with the Clarus models, which are also great at a lower price point: fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-CLARUS_MOOCHING.html
@@FishingwithRod Awesome Rod! Thanks a lot! I just ordered a MH. I have been using Lamiglass Classic Glass MH for couple years and I really liked that line class. This is so much more affordable compares to a Islander mooching rod.
Most of the time they don't. It also depends on how firmly you're securing your lines to the clips. If you're fishing in an area with strong current or deeper water, you'd want to have the line much further inside the clip so they don't come undone too easily, which means it'd be harder for the fish to pull out. It also depends on the size of the fish too, as well as whether you are going with or against the current. Any fish over 20lb would most likely pull the line off the clip, especially if you are going against the current.
If you are an amateur like me and do a litte research on landed fish ratio on rodholder or handheld rod over 500 trollingtrips you will find that the ratio on both salmon and halibut is about 35% higher with a handheldt rod. Now obv 500 trollingtrips isnt much to base that one but it gives a hint imo.
Thanks for watching everyone! 🙂

Thanks Rafa! I think we are in fact filming something next month which involves hot soup and tea.... 😁
Another great collaboration between you two. Awesome fishing and beautiful area to enjoy.
Thanks David!
Wow another awesome and amazing video thank you Rod and Kitty I’ve have to make a trip there
looking forward for more vids like this when we're back to our normal life like before. Great job FWR Team.
Thanks! Hopefully we'll be able to do this more consistently again this year after a very trying year in 2021.
woohoo KITTY and ROD love to see it !
Thanks Rob! 🙂
I really enjoy fishing videos,especially see different ways in the world. Great video!!!
Thanks 👍

@@FishingwithRod same here can wait till first week of July 😁
Loved it! It’s great to see a new episode. Can’t wait to see more!!👍👍👍
Thank you Derek!
Beauty episode 👌 just love the sound of screaming reels 😍
Thank you!
Great start Rod! Fun To watch!
Thanks!
What an awesome day of fishing! Beautiful fish!
Thanks Magus!
That is a great evening of fishing!
Thanks! Looking forward to it again this July.
Beautiful fish!
Look the son of the real screaming another great day of fishing thanks Rob
Thanks!
@@FishingwithRod I meant to say like the sound of the real screaming
Yeah I figured out what you were saying. 😉
That was fun. Thanks 🤙
Thanks for watching Andrew. 🙂
5:01 I saw a 60-plus pound salmon do this in Campbell River once but it was after a two-hour long fight.
Awesome stuff man! When you coming down for a fish or two?
My next trip to Melbourne isn't until 2024 at the moment, for my next high school reunion, but I am also hoping that something could happen sooner than that too! It'd be sweet if I can connect with some King Georges, calamari, snapper and bream again during one visit lol. 😜
@@FishingwithRod 100% man!
Rod, I noticed he didn't bleed the fish (@5:30 mark) & others do.
Any thoughts?
Yeah that fish was bleed, I just didn't show it in the video.
On lake Huron they have Atlantic salmon and the biologist that I met told me that the Atlantic salmon fight so hard to escape that they almost always die. So they recommend that if you catch one that you keep it because if you try to release it that it will probably die . And they are great table fair.
Yep. Both Atlantic salmon and brown trout are incredible fighters. I've always enjoyed my experiences with them while fishing in Europe.
hope you are feeling better ROD ! All the best! VK aka Shorejig
Thanks! Almost 100%! :)
@@FishingwithRod That's great! wish you and your family safe days! and looking forward to new episodes :)
Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the wheel on the stern for?
That wheel is for steering the motor while trolling instead of using the main steering wheel. This way you are all the way at the back of the boat, being able to see the rods by turning your head up to 90 degrees, seeing the depth sounder in front of you, instead of sitting at the driver seat, turning 180 degrees for the rod while also looking forward to make sure you're not running into trouble. I'm pretty sure it is custom built in by themselves, a really great idea.
Love it!!!!
Great! Thanks for watching Nick! 🙂
Very nice big salmon!! Looks like a fun trip!
Haha no high five
No high fives and hugs until those hands are washed! 😆
@@FishingwithRod hahaha that’s funny!
Hello from Minnesota! That was an awesome video! I've never see that style of reel before, like a cross between a fly reel and a bait caster?
Thanks Kyle! Those reels are pretty unique and pretty much only exclusively used in British Columbia (even down in Washington State they are not really used for salmon fishing), probably because we are strange that way. 😉 They are known as mooching reels, more like a centerpin reels, except they have a drag system.

called a mooching reel.
@@FishingwithRod I imagine. Might have to look into making them a little less rare in Minnesota!
When was this, Rod?
July 2021
First week of July Sylvia. Up there as long as you are around from late June to early September you can't really go wrong. :)
Is that the same 'Dave Murphy' that lives down the street from me in Liverpool? 😁😂
Maybe? It’s a rather unique English name after all… 😆
Rod, what kind of rod is that? I’m trying to pick up one just like that for my Islander MR3
The rod is a Shimano Technium. These are the models available:
fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-TECHNIUM_MOOCHING_A.html
The length is 10'6" for all of them, just the lb ratings are different. I personally like the 12-20lb. Dave Murphy in the video has also done a separate video with a good overview of this setup:

You can also go with the Clarus models, which are also great at a lower price point:

@@FishingwithRod Awesome Rod! Thanks a lot! I just ordered a MH. I have been using Lamiglass Classic Glass MH for couple years and I really liked that line class. This is so much more affordable compares to a Islander mooching rod.
Great! Hope you get into lots of fish with it this year James. :)
@@FishingwithRod appreciated Rod! Likewise!
Do the salmon usually release the clip on their own?
Most of the time they don't. It also depends on how firmly you're securing your lines to the clips. If you're fishing in an area with strong current or deeper water, you'd want to have the line much further inside the clip so they don't come undone too easily, which means it'd be harder for the fish to pull out. It also depends on the size of the fish too, as well as whether you are going with or against the current. Any fish over 20lb would most likely pull the line off the clip, especially if you are going against the current.
@@FishingwithRod Thank you!
Thats funny you say goldfish, I just caught a lake trout that had a body like a goldfish 🤣
Hehe yeah. When the girth of the fish is much larger than the head, you know they've been eating well.
Is it legal to gaf a salmon on Vancouver island?
Sure it is.
If you are an amateur like me and do a litte research on landed fish ratio on rodholder or handheld rod over 500 trollingtrips you will find that the ratio on both salmon and halibut is about 35% higher with a handheldt rod. Now obv 500 trollingtrips isnt much to base that one but it gives a hint imo.
Alberni inlet????
No, read the description and 0:23.
Anda bukan hanya cantik,tapi juga hebat menggoda ikan dengan lure.salam dari angler Indonesia
I'd love to go up there and just jig for Salmon,no trolling for me 😁
Yep! We jigged for them on the following day, which will be in another episode coming out next month.
This from July 😢
Fish
🤨
And have to say, the girl is too....😊
No need to scream with a microphone on your throat. Most unpleasant for viewer....
Well... She obviously wasn't doing that to the mic on purpose lol. Most would be screaming like that when the fish are biting that fast.
