Customize Your Stay
Tailored to You — Your Session, Your Way
At Banklife Carping Holidays, no two stays need to be the same. Every angler arrives with different goals, experience levels, and expectations, we build your time on the bank around that.
For Experienced Carp Anglers
Your stay can be customized around session length, intensity, baiting approach, and level of guidance. Whether you want hands-on coaching, minimal interference, or a full immersion into long, uninterrupted sessions, we adapt the experience to suit how you want to fish.
New To Carp Angling
We offer fully guided day-trip experiences, the perfect introduction to the sport. These sessions focus on fundamentals: rigs, baiting, fish behaviour, watercraft, and safe fish handling. You’ll learn fast, fish effectively, and experience the thrill of your first carp without committing to a multi-day session.
Elevated Comfort
G&S Marina offers a range of comfortable, well-appointed cabins, perfectly located on the shores of Last Mountain Lake and ideal for anglers, families, and groups looking to experience everything the area has to offer.
New for the 2026 season, G&S Marina is proud to introduce two brand-new, year-round cabins, each sleeping up to 8 guests. These premium cabins are designed for comfort in every season and feature modern amenities, generous living space, and private hot tubs, making them the perfect place to relax after a long day on the water.
Whether you’re visiting for world-class fishing, a family getaway, or a group retreat, G&S Marina cabins provide the ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and lakeside atmosphere.
However you choose to fish, hardcore sessions, guided learning, or elevated comfort, your stay is built around maximizing your time on the water and delivering a carp fishing experience you’ll never forget.
Your session. Your pace. Your Banklife.
Equipment & Fish Care
Quality Equipment and First-Class Fish Care
Every piece of equipment used at Banklife has been selected for one reason, reliability under pressure.
From rods and reels to nets, mats, and retention systems, everything is proven, balanced, and suited to powerful Canadian carp. Fish care is non-negotiable. Every capture is handled with respect and returned safely.
Good fishing only matters if the fish are protected for the future.
Atmosphere & Moments
More than fish, moments you’ll never forget.
Between the takes and the long nights, you’ll experience something rare.
Wild surroundings. Absolute peace.
And some of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet, watched from your swim as the rods sit ready and the lake comes alive.
These are the moments that stay with you long after the session ends.
Your Guide
Your experience is led by Pro Carp Angler Anthony Russell, and 2024 DT Baits International Carp Fishing Challenge Winner.
Anthony has spent years fishing and understanding these waters, refining baiting strategies, and proving that a focused, one-rod approach consistently delivers results. You’ll be guided by someone who has competed, and won at international level, and who applies that same discipline and attention to detail to every guest session.
This is guidance built on experience, not theory.
