Walleye Report on the Ottawa

Post by Crawler »

Slow day....

Manage to catch 5 "teen" walleyes and one mooneye...I think...I never caught this kind of fish before. It gave me a good fight and I heard they are very popular with muskies !

First time I see a mooneye caught through the ice. They do fight nice, I can imagine fighting one on a jigging rod must have been sweet. Nice pic.

A Mooneye through the ice! Cool! :D What did it hit? :) No wonder there are some monster 'lunge in the lower Ottawa, if they're chowing down on those! :)
