Re: Great bass evening

Re: Jock River water levels

Some years ago I launched at Eagleson in Richmond, and made my way down to the Rideau.
My Sonar never saw anywhere deeper than 12 feet, didn't mark any fish either.

Re: Conservation Initiative

Signed the petition. I recall when I was a kid, there were still eels in the Ottawa and they were big. They used to be considered vermin and I used to find dead ones tossed on shore. They used to scare the shellac out of me when you caught them but they fought like crazy. I also did some eel search...

Re: Muskie Experience

Keep doing what works, you caught 2, but get a proper leader on heavier test line.

Re: Motor dies at low idle, no choke and low speed

"Closed choke"? Choke should be full open when motor is warmed up, if it's closed motor will flood.

Re: Jock River musky?depth?access?

A few years ago I trolled down the Jock from Eagleson in Richmond to Greenbank and back.
Used my sonar all the way and didn't find anywhere deeper than 12 feet and no fish marked, although I did see a few carp mucking about in the mudflats.

Re: Weather forecasting

It's very confusing, "40% of the coverage area has a chance of rain or snow", how much of a chance? Will 40% of the area definitely get precip? What are the boundaries of the coverage area? Which 40% will get wet? I find Accuweather to be OK short term, but the next day forecasts usually c...
