Bite on the ottawa

[crwalker1987]

Anyone had any luck on the Ottawa? Went out for pike and not so much as a bite. Is it too early with the cool waters?

Cheers

I fished my reg spring walleye spot on the opener Fri night with my son. Bite wasn't on. We ended up catching 5 walleye, 2 ok just under the slot and 3 small ones. I found some warmer water (by 1.5 degrees) and that is where we picked up the eyes. I'd say things are a little behind schedule on the Ottawa...

Was out all day Friday, 3 medium pike in the warmer bays.

Actually I was out on the 20th of May and the bite was fantastic. With the water being higher than normal I ended up in a few bays that I cannot get into normally because of the weeds and water depth. We must have caught at least 25 fish and no pencil pikes most were a decent size.

We were fishing on the Quebec side of the Ottawa about a kilometer from Braeside. There are a number bays but I would hurry as the water levels will be adjusted very soon.

Bites been rather good fishing ledges for walleye and shallow bays for pike. Water is warming quick!

Walleye and Pike have been good for me on cloudy non Gar days with clients. 3 to 4 feet of water in old dead standing reeds. Crazy pattern but it's consistent.
