Welcome back Joco!
Ottawa is a bit too far for me but sure sounds like a good time.
Will be targeting bullhead here in a few weeks.

Now that is some prime bait. Whole for Pike or Lakers, or in chunks for cats, or in nice belly strips on a spoon for Greys. Good stuff. Now you just need some bigger ones for canning.

Might have to take you up on that offer, my rod should be able to handle the cats... Just need some pointers on set up and bait!
Hopefully see you guys down there.
Any tips for parking if we're coming down with a car?

It s tricky spot to get to but parking is "free" after 6 or 7; cops check the lot but never bother anyone in the evening (my experience)

Here is the spot I think people are talking about:

Oh cool!!!

I usually park on the island itself and fish, I have never fished on the actual "ottawa city" shore before!!!

I am certainly game to try it there. Just keep posting when you guys go and I will surely make it out. I have my fingers crossed for perhaps Tuesday night.

Anyone fish for catfish from Bates Island? I think its one of the only places so far that I haven't tried!
