It was a decent one for the kawarthas for sure! 🎣🔥

Haha, pure hunting instinct 🤣🤣 thanks for giving it a watch and thanks for reaching out! We hope you enjoyed it! Tight lines 🎣🔥

Thanks man! We’re glad you enjoyed it! We personally love the forward facing footage too! It’s hard to capture without the expensive units! Most of the better sonar footage came in the Part 2 video, with much better fish follows! We appreciate you reaching out, and we hope to hear from you again! Tight lines!🎣🔥

Thanks man! It was an unreal day! Thanks for taking the time to watch it man! Did you check out part 2 of this video? We catch the majority of the big ones in the second half! Absolute insanity! Where is North? We’re debating on planning some trips in the future! Thanks for reaching out man! Tight lines! 🔥🎣

@@castinthekawarthas Lake Temiskaming area. Fall time is nuts. Some killer lakes are up this way. Low pressure. Catching fish that hardly see a bait.

@@castinthekawarthas I will watch part two. Don't worry!

@colbra3 That sounds like a good time! 👏We attempted an early ice fish up there one season but didn’t get the access we were hoping for. What do you fish for mostly?

@@castinthekawarthas Smallmouth fishing all the time. Usually trying to figure things out for the next tournament lol

We actually have many different season openers for all species within the province of Ontario. It’s all split up into zones, and each zone has its own fishing regulations. The fishery that we were on fell into “zone 20” which allows pre-spawn bass fishing, it then closes for the spawn and reopens after. Most other zones in Ontario don’t allow fishing for bass until after the spawn. Thanks for reaching out man! We hope you enjoyed the video! Tight lines bud 🎣🔥

@@castinthekawarthas It was great, thanks for providing that information. I was really curious haha

@AlfredMorganOutdoors Anytime buddy we try to answer any question thrown our way if we have the knowledge to share 😂! Glad to hear you liked it! Make sure you check out PART 2. The majority of our biggest fish actually came in the second half of the day! We hope we hear from you again 🤝🎉

Thanks man! That’s awesome that you got a boat! We try to hit the water as early as we can, preferably for first light. It can be hard in the summer months when the sun comes up really early though. We find Lake Trout love the early morning bite. I hope this helps! Tight lines bud, good luck on your next outing! 🎣🔥

Thanks man. It was a beauty day. We appreciate you commenting! Have you made it back out for some biggin’s?

@@castinthekawarthas Yes, came home last knight after 4 days of trout fishing and landed a few Biggens for sure, tight lines and happy fishing,, Tony.

That’s awesome you had a wicked trip!! Thanks you too pal! Tight Lines! 🎣

Thanks Craig! It was a wild day on the water! 🎣

Thanks man! I agree, it’s a great lake to catch some Splake! Do you ever fish the lake in the summer? - Dylan

@castinthekawarthas Ya went last year for the first time and caught some bass!

Dylan - Hey! We use the Minn Kota trolling motor with i-Pilot and spot lock. It’s a very important piece because it allows us to hold within 5ft of the spot locked spot. Our beam setting I believe is 20 degrees. Unfortunately we have attempted this in the past without spot lock and in the wind it can be very challenging. Hope this helped and good luck getting on the big girls! Tight lines.

@@castinthekawarthas yea I didn't see the trolling motor doing it's thing til after I posted lol. Good video, my buddy has a cottage on this lake. We smash big bass in there but haven't tried for the Lakers yet. Hopefully it ices over and we can get out in February. Tight lines.

Dylan - Thanks man, that’s awesome that your buddy has a cottage on the lake because it’s a beauty lake! You should definitely give the lakers a try, it’s a fun day for sure. Good luck for when the ice comes. Tight lines.

It’s a Humminbird Helix 9 MSI. I love it because I can use it on my boat it the summer and then use it in the winter for ice fishing.

Hey, thanks a lot man! It’s nice to actually hear that people enjoy the content we’re trying to provide! We have fished diamond once and missed a few…(this was before we had the electronics to really dial them in). We would love to give it another go this year. Is it open during the hard water season!? Tight lines!

@@castinthekawarthas - yes it is.

Awesome! I believe we’re going to be ice fishing Bancroft way more this winter. We focused mostly in Haliburton area last winter. Do you get out often?

@@castinthekawarthas - not as often as I’d like. Have a cabin in the area. Make it up 4 or 5 times a year.

Well if you're up Bancroft way this winter let us know! Maybe we can set something up for a meet and greet fish with you and some of the other supporters of the channel! Thanks again for the sub and for the comment! We appreciate it!

Hey, thanks for watching the video! We appreciate you bringing this to our attention…We idled over from a spot that we were on previously. I’m almost certain as long as you’re not going on plane it’s accepted. Example being moving up like 10-15 docks and idling to save battery life. Correct me if I’m wrong. Tight lines!!

Actually just read the rules, and I think you’re right. It just states “while gas engine running”… I hope this doesn’t cause any grief! Anyways thanks again, we will have them on every time that key turns over from now on!

@@castinthekawarthas yeah, it's kind of annoying and would make more sense when on plane like you said.

@eastewoode9157 Rules are rules though, they need to be followed! Do you fish the CSFL?

It’s not really in the Kawartha’s, but it fish’s like it. Rice lake is a beauty for small mouth and would be our favourite! If your on Cameron I would give Balsam a go as well, it’s a fun lake to fish and would be close to you.

Hey, thanks for watching the video! Yeah those were some scrappy lakers for sure! As much as I’d like to be a nice guy and tell you what lake this was on, I kind of have to keep it quiet due to fishing pressure these days! I hope you understand. Are you local to the Bancroft area?

No worries! Was just curious is all. I have a cottage on Paudash and have been frequenting the Bancroft area all my life. The area is absolutely gorgeous and I have solid success regularly on our lake! Haven't hooked into any monsters yet but I know the time will come. Patience pays off for sure!@@castinthekawarthas

Very nice! I’ve been frequenting the Bancroft area since I was I child! It is most definitely beautiful, and the fisheries in that area are amazing! Do you get out fishing often still? We haven’t tried Paudash Lake yet but we’ve definitely talked about trying it out this year!

I’m also sure there are some good ones in there! That body of water has the size to hold some bigger specimen I would think!

I do fish every time I'm up north which is usually every two weeks or so. Our lake is stocked every second year and the average laker I'm catching is between 3-5lbs. There are some big fish in the lake (10-15lbs+), just gotta know where to find them and get them to bite... requires a lot of time on the water which I wish I had a lot more of haha@@castinthekawarthas

Hey, I’m glad you liked it! We have lots more coming! Thank you ! We really appreciate your sub! I hope you enjoy the rest of our content!

Thanks for watching ! It’s definitely an active lake in the summer! Or it sure seems to be. From what I’ve researched and been told, this lake is a fish sanctuary in the winter though. So make sure you look into that. I wouldn’t want to see you get into any trouble! Thanks for reaching out, we appreciate your support!

@castinthekawarthas usually plenty of ice huts on the lake.. I'm sure it's the same lake with the rock cliffs on the left as soon as you're on the lake and the road in with the lake on the right? There was talk about shutting it down in the winter so perhaps it's finally happened

Shoot me a DM with the name of the lake ! I’ll let you know if it’s the same one! I think it may be a look alike! A lot of the lakes in the Bancroft region have a very similar look!

Just realized you can’t DM on here, DM us on Facebook or Instagram, we’re on both! Castin’ the Kawarthas on Facebook and @castin.the.kawarthas on Instagram!

Haha yeah, it wasn’t a bad ice season! We can’t say it was our best season for size but man was it fun! Thanks for checking out the videos! We appreciate it!

You and me both! Hopefully with better ice next year, we can get on and stay on some of the bigger “golds” for longer next season! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your support bud! We truly appreciate it! I myself (Keegan) run a 03 skidoo 380 grand touring fan cooled. And Dylan runs a 03 skidoo 550 grand touring fan cooled !

@Castin’ The Kawarthas oh okay... your 550 is similar to my 550 legend gt. Good machines for sure!

Hey dude! Thanks for viewing and reaching out! As much as I’d love to tell you, I really can’t. Us fishermen have to keep these things tight lipped otherwise the word gets out! My advice is to use the fishON website to find lakes nearby stocked for specific species!

@@castinthekawarthas haha! I don’t blame you. Always interesting to see where people are fishing

Yeah bud, don’t take it personally! Maybe one day we will hit the water together and we can fish the spot! What species do you normally target!?

Thanks for the comment! We tend to not keep fish and put them back to do our part in sustaining the fisheries! Tight Lines!!

Thanks!

Thanks Dude! Glad your enjoying the videos. The ice camping was a fun night, we were hoping for more evening walleye though.

Thanks! It was a great day!

We have all been there. I’m glad I could grab this one!

I’m sorry to hear that it got away ! It sounds like you had some action though! Did you land any others?

We love fishing rice lake! Some huge smallies in there.

It definitely has been challenging finding safe ice. Luckily we found some. Stay tuned for more videos!

Yeah , they have amazing markings! They’re super clean and untouched fish !

👍

Thanks Griffin! Was a wicked fun day.

The meter / sonar will show colours for our lure which is directly under us. When a fish swims under us it will show up as a 2nd or 3rd mark of colours, usually larger and more red. At that point we know there’s a fish around and we can get ready. When the fish mark comes close to our lures mark we get ready for them to hit so we can set the hook.

Thank you!

Dylan and Brittany have been putting a hurting on Andrea and my tent lol. Wait until you see the lake trout slay fest video… they showed us how it was done!

We’re also hoping to do a battle of the sexes / couples challenge later this winter!
