I've recently moved to the Orleans area and have started trying my luck on the Ottawa. I got out for a few hours yesterday evening to target Walleye, but ended up with a couple Crappie and Sauger instead. I had to head in early due to the wind picking up (I need to get a proper boat, so I can stay on the water when the chop picks up, that's when the fishing gets good!), but all in all it was a good couple hours on the water.
The first crappie (not on video) was caught while trolling (bottom bouncing a spinner rig with a Northland Rig'n Leech). After that I switched to casting an 1/8oz jig with a Rig'n Leech.
