I took Friday off to go fishing and my father is working so I'm out of a boat. Any suggestions on some shore fishing. grrrr...I need to get my own boat!

RRC,

Strictly shore fishing or is wading an option as well?

I'm not afraid to get wet.

RRC,

I regularily shore/wade fish various parts of the Mississippi River and Clyde rivers with some success. I'm in the same boat, or lack there of, for Friday. I hope to get out somewhere on Friday to hit the shorelines for some fish.

RCC,

If you don't mind getting wet Fergusons Falls can be pretty good. Lots of smallmouth. You can fish upstream of the bridge or work your way all the way down to the edges of the lake.

As for directions. I believe it's on highway 115 though I can't recall for sure. If you take #7 to Perth from Carleton Place, you make a right at a church about 10 mins out of town. If you pass Boyds, you've missed the cut off.

Well I got out the waders and hit the Mississippi River in Carleton Place by the bridge on McNeely. Caught a bunch of smallmouth that I lost count. They were actualy a not bad size....the biggest being around 2lb.
The treat of the day was seeing a doe and 2 fawns cross the river behind me at about 30 yards while I was fishing. I did not see another angler and had that stretch of the river to myself all morning.

Cranks were the ticket .....they wanted nothing to do with plastics which was odd.
