Lock Port Fishing, Red River // Manitoba

Exploring a new fishing spot for me just north of Winnipeg Manitoba. Follow along to Lockport on the Red River to see what we can manage to catch out there. Things don't always go according to plan, but rest assured that we got on some new species.
Please Note: That's not a Black Drum as mentioned in the video, these are Freshwater drum.

It is great 👍 to see the fist video from Winnipeg in Canada 🇨🇦. I'm looking forward to being "dragged" with you to all the new fishing 🎣 spots 👏 and adventures. Happy fishing 🎣 before the winter and the snow ❄️.

[@FinallyFishing]

Good stuff Susan, hope to bring you some great adventures here from Canada.

[@suzettelombard]

Yayy! Canada is about as far from Vegas as it gets! 😅 Wishing you loads of fun, plenty of fish and all the best in Winnipeg! 💙🎣🏞

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks so much!!

[@timherron4574]

Great video. Very excited on learning about new species. What a life traveling around the world fishing. Great way to live!!

[@FinallyFishing]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks Tim!

[@ralphwood4814]

Hey Vernon it looks like you made your move. I’m glad you’re back, and I hope that you’re not somewhere too far away. Someday I would like to get back together with you and your wife and go fission again. I can’t wait for two days to get it over and find out where the heck you are.

[@FinallyFishing]

The reveal was crazy for me, try to keep that secret for a few months. But thanks Ralph.

[@robertcausey6306]

Glad to see you're back to making videos Vernon...always enjoyed your vegas adventures. I'm looking forward to all the canadian ones as well...Get Fishin !!!...

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks Robert, hope to bring yo guys some good fishing from here.

[@davehope9144]

Too bad you didn’t hook a Goldeye. Smoked Goldeye tastes awesome. We even served it to Queen Elizabeth when she visited Winnipeg back in the 70’s

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks Dave, I will still try to get some. Might keep some for myself then too.

[@ralphwood4814]

Vernon glad to see you made it it took me about 10 minutes though to figure out what that green stuff was in the background. Then my friend told me so those are trees. Not like Las Vegas and Arizona. Anyway I think you’re really gonna enjoy it up there lots of Fishing and different species of fish. Good luck to you and your wife maybe someday will get back together go again.

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks Ralph, took me a while to get use to having trees on the horizon again. And even worse, they are turning yellow. Never seen that on Mead.

[@ralphwood4814]

@@FinallyFishing Vernon I just hope someday that we can get back together. I might have to go up there where you are, I think that The fishing would be so much better up there, more variety. I will definitely keep in touch with you I hope you do the same.

[@Sonny1065LV]

Canada!!!!! Vegas misses you already Vernon 🙏🏽

[@FinallyFishing]

Lol Sonny, it's just a couple thousand miles... Hope to bring you some good fishing.

[@phillipbalara5670]

Welp, if you fish this winter, you’ll be fishing in conditions 115* apart within a matter of months.

[@FinallyFishing]

True that Phillip! I hope I will be ready for the Ice fishing season.

[@TheFishingCrane]

Awesome video!!

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@BlueHandFishing]

Hey Vernon I hope you guys made it out safely and are settled. I look forward to seeing where your new home is and what your new fishing adventures are going to be like. I also look forward to when I'll be able to fish with you in the wife again. Hey tightlines my friend!

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks BlueHandFishing, hope to bring you some exciting fish from out here!

[@jeffsim8664]

Fished almost that spot a bunch of yrs ago. Caught a mess of goldeye. Didnt have a smoker. Tried baking. Frying BBQ. Could get ride of the wet texture.. Planted them under the tomato plants.. got a fantantic tomato crop. Huge tomatoes.. only problem was they tasted like goldeye😂

[@FinallyFishing]

Nice fishy tomatoes... I have heard that they are tasty when smoked. Seems like a lot of trouble for small fish, but I might just do that catch and cook someday.

[@PossibleCloud9]

The new fishing spot looks amazing. Still wish you guys lived here!

[@RichardSparling]

There are direct flights from Vegas to Winnipeg for those who would to fish up here! Welcome to Winnipeg, Vernon (and the wife too).

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks PossibleCloud9, loads of fish out there waiting to be caught...

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks Mate!

[@freespiral]

Oh, how I miss you so much! Somehow Canada now feels even further away than Vegas. 😂 But I'm so excited to get to know Canada's fishing spots through you. 🎉😃

[@FinallyFishing]

Haha, it is actually closer, but many new spots to explore. Thanks freespiral.

[@brendamoore4463]

Thanks for sharing. I have fished at Lockport.

[@FinallyFishing]

Did you get anything good out there?

[@joepalmer7412]

A 1000 lakes. You’re gonna be very busy…! Great stuff! Wow!

[@FinallyFishing]

Indeed Joe, but Manitoba is known as the land of 100 000 Lakes.

[@NoName-NoFace]

Great video. Lockport pro tip: Walleye have the white tip on the tail. Sauger don’t, and sauger have spots on the dorsal and a more splotchy design on the sides. They don’t get as large as the walleye. For goldeye used a slip float and a small hook with a piece of worn, 18” below the surface. Good luck!

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks for the tips! And just to mess with it all saugeye...

[@warrenotto27]

When I am fishing goldeye on the Winnipeg River, there are times I use 6'-10' of line below my slip bobber. Have also caught them very shallow as well

[@FirstCatch]

🇨🇦 …..I enjoyed the video. Thumbs up!

[@FinallyFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks Firstcatch!

[@chrisdaddy4637]

You need to move further away from the locks when all the gates are closed. The big ones are laying around the corner by the floodway

[@FinallyFishing]

Good Tip, Thanks Chris

[@MarineFlipper]

I caught a seagull once while fishing there. Line snagged its wings while casting out.

[@FinallyFishing]

Yeah that happens from time to time, got a nice bird list myself. No Gull yet.

[@MarineFlipper]

@@FinallyFishing The worst part was I had to reel it in slow because of how the line wrapped when it fell. If I reeled fast its head would drag under water. Had to bob him back to shore lol.

[@chrisdaddy4637]

The difference between sauger and walleye is sauger have black spots on the tail and the top fins. Walleye have a green tail with a white mark on the bottom of it

[@FinallyFishing]

Indeed, but what about saugeye Chris?

[@chrisdaddy4637]

@@FinallyFishing never caught one before

[@neilgansekoele5464]

Nice video ,

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks

[@reneebonafino5546]

Ditto for me (on the following one) George Bonafino

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks George, hope you will enjoy the new fishing too.

[@GuitarLessonCharts]

That's a freshwater drum, not black. That sauger is a Saugeye,

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks. You are correct about that. It has been changed on my website, just can't change the video. I appreciate you taking the time to correct me and help me out.

[@dereklonewolf9011]

As a Manitoban I'm thinking don't eat anything out of the Red , out on the lake they are better eating. Fella 👍great video 75+🍁 hunter/ fisherman

[@FinallyFishing]

Thanks, and I agree with you, better spots to get fish from.

[@terencekaye9948]

How did you end in a crap hole like that?

[@FinallyFishing]

Simple, I drove here.

[@MysticKnight38]

wrong walleye are on the bottom. they are a nocturnal fish.

[@FinallyFishing]

Fish sleep for a few minutes, so technically they are both nocturnal and active in the day. Predator's are more active in low light conditions as it improves the odds. And yes, walleye are on the bottom, but they are looking upwards. Carp and drum look down and feed on the bottom.

[@sideshowbob9464]

Get some shmelts on the bottom and catch some big catfish

[@FinallyFishing]

That Sounds like a plan. Might head up north and catch my own smelts.
