Hello all, Not trying to ask straight up for all of your secret spots... but hoping for some guidance. I am (unfortunately) a shore fisherman roaming around Ottawa. I have had reasonably good success at Dow's lake/canal but keep coming up dry on the Ottawa river and Rideau river. I have tried all d...

Was out this morning along Rideau river . Water levels have dropped but current under was fast. Use 3/8 jigs tipped with some dew worms produced rock bass, perch & a smallie .

Good luck,
Azabache & junior.

So..... The opener is on as of midnight tonight. We will be shore fishing the rideau around New Eddy park & with the high tide, fast moving water, what would be the best baits,lures to use for Bass? Junior likes his senkos, i was thinking diving cranks , shads or swimbaits. What color? Any help ...

Fantastic catch! Congrats, we are sure you will get another
