I purchased a Frabill Straight Line 101 Quick Tip Combo, got it on sale for $29.00, seems to be ok in the cold. I have it set up for panfish with 3 lb line, love that there is no line curl. Not sure how it would do with a heavier line.

I have been using a place in Ottawa for a while , they do a decent job on my Jiffy blades, they might be worth while trying out.

I remember as a kid we fished Dow's Lake. Until the NCC cops whatever they are, showed up one day and told to get the $%^U* off before they fined us. Isn't Winterlude all about winter activities. Ice fishing should be included, just give fishermen an area an rope it off to protect skaters. Hell they...

Thanks for all the info much appreciated. I have dealt with Serge many years ago, you are right he is pretty good for bait.
Thanks again

I have been buying my live bait for years at Manotik , Stittsville and Arnprior, but now Toweys and Stittsville are closed. Tried Petrie Island, but he seems to have mostly small bait.
Does anyone know of a place with in the Ottawa region to get decent live bait for ice fishing?

I do not think there is any other better reason, to share info.
I can still remember when my dad took me out and I caught my first fish. 50 years later I am still enjoying the sport.
My son has just got the bug. Nothing more pleasing then watching a youngster catch their first fish.
Great report!

Is this the first of any public area supposedly under used to be threatened by Profit driven developers. think about it.
I signed to protect this and any other areas that can come under the same threat.

I am going to check around with Natural resources, I thought maybe something like that would be in the regs someplace .
I let you know.

Gidday,
Has anyone fished Phineys Point on the Ottawa, trying to avoid derbys this weekend coming.

Thanks again.

Thanks

Thks I will give a try.

Sure did two walleye and a nice pike. The nice thing about it when you spot the fish coming off bottom you can feather the jig to entice them into a hit. Also you can lift the jig to see if they will follow it up. Also noticed some fish were way up in the water colum around 6 ft, maybe pike on the h...

I just purchased an Elite 7 Chirp for my boat this year, so I figured why not try out on the ice. After building my own ice pack and playing around with the settings I was pleasently surprized at the results. I first started with the split screen with flasher and sonar but gave up on the flasher par...
