Just got back from a shore trip down near victoria island tonight. Didn't catch a thing on the point, so I walked up to the ottawa locks and tried my luck there. Fished for about half hour with no luck at all, then I had to use the "mens room"
So I put the rod down and turned to take a leak and I heard something break the water. I turned around to grab my rod, but it was too late!!! My lure was about a foot from shore in about 6 inches of water. That was pretty much how the whole night went... I walked up and down the shore and scared about 3 or 4 fish that were up REALLY tight to the shoreline. I tried everything from floating cranks to dropshot rigs to a tube with no luck. I`m not sure if the fish weren`t feeding, or maybe I didnt use the right presentation. I will be trying it again though, the spot looks like it could be a real producer in the spring. Thanks to manny for putting me onto it.Good fishing boys
