Re: Ottawa River fishing
Just a quick update on the ottawa. Went out earlier than usual around 730am on the water. Slight wind and cool but sunny. Started trolling in about 12 feet of water with a small crankbait. Caught 4 or 5 small bass and 1 catfish, which surprised me! Fished until around 11. Fishing was better earlier ...

Re: Ottawa River fishing
This is extremely helpful! Thank you. I will likely be out on Saturday assuming the weather cooperates and try out some of those techniques. I might need a few new crankbaits before then and will try the Ned rig mentioned earlier. My sonar shows lots of sunken islands and dropoffs which should provi...

Re: Ottawa River fishing
Thanks for the detailed reply! I never fished that close for fear of rocks and extreme shallow water Couple questions...when you say flattish baits do you mean spoons? I have mostly old style lures like daredevil Williams and 5 of diamonds spoons and Rapala jointed and wally diver minnows. Do fish b...

Nothing decent size though. We also tried the ottawa river and fishing near the island and aylmer marina for a...
