FishCity.tv Urban Fishing by Taro Murata

On this day we were on the Bay Of Quinte trolling for giant walleye. The last time I was out fishing with the Canadian Flyfisher guys, Nick Pujic and Naoto Aoki we were on Lake Erie Fly Fishing for Musky. It was a great experience and I learned a ton about Fly Fishing from these two characters, lol!. They made me see Fly Fishing in a new way. I always thought of Fly Fishing as a peaceful, fancy and boring way to fish until these two guys opened up my eyes. The Canadian Flyfisher’s are aggressive anglers that attack every body of water they fish and are like the Rock n’ Rolla’s of Snow Boarding, they’re changing the game for real!

Here we were again on BOQ, this time we were trolling for these giant things. What a change of pace for us all. However the Canadian Flyfisher guys, Dave Chong and I could not deny the size and uniqueness of the fish in the BOQ and sometimes it’s easy to put the style of fishing we like aside so we can catch numbers of rare giants.

We ended up catching 13 fish, 7 of them were over 10lbs and the biggest was 11lb14oz’s. The one I lost felt the heaviest and the guys are still giving me grief over it to this very day, lol! Noato got his personal best, it was 11lbs10oz, man was he pumped, I thought he was gonna hate trolling because he’s usually so active when fishing but you should have seen him watching those rods and waiting desperately for the rods to go off, it was hilarious. What was even funnier was when I did a wide turn and it was Naoto’s turn on the rod and the board went off, he jumped up and started cranking it in with so much excitement and in the distance I saw another guy fighting something, it soon clicked in that they were fighting each other, what a “Gong Show!”, sorry Naoto, LMAO!! It was pretty crazy out there, I’ve never seen so many boats out there in all the years I’ve been fishing the BOQ, maybe it was the warm weather or something. Anywayzzz, we fished a pretty short day so we did quite well. We caught them by using long body deep diving baits tolled with line counter reels and planner boards. However I ran one rod that I always like to call the “X-Factor /The gangster line”, this rod has no line counter or planner board, I simply just let out a ton of line behind the boats prop wash and have no idea how deep my bait is running. Believe or not this was the rod that got 11 of the 13 fish caught. This is always why I run the “Gangster Line”, no matter how precise you think you are there is always something you can’t control when it comes to fishing so doing things in random fashion can sometimes pay off as it did severely on this day. There is a line I like saying, “the more you fish the more you will say maybe!”, it drives me nuts, lol! If you want more detail on how I catch these fish check out http://www.fishcity.tv there’s an article in there somewhere on trolling the BOQ!

Peace,
