Ottawa R -Rockland Report

Well, it was not a good night for me... Only 3 fish boated for me, 2 fish boated for my buddy...
We launched at Rockland around 6pm. There was a pretty bad looking accident at the TimHortons intersection that held us up for a bit, unfortunately it looked like people were hurt...
Anyhow, we were wett'ing lines by 6:20, and had an inkling to try the "ontario side" right east of the launch in the first large bay. It was less than productive... yeilding 1 small bass out of the weeds, a few boils (not on our lures, else where) and that's about it...
Outside, on the main channel, my buddy got these two..
Nothing huge, but hit like little rockets coming completely air-borne on the take... entertaining if nothing else. The second photo is actually a small Musky... hit a surface frog right at the boat... There was a much larger hit, completely air borne pike or musky that must have been 8+ lbs... easily could have eaten the two above... but it was not meant to be... after coming completely air borne and showing off, it was gone... never to be heard from again.
A full 1hr of fishing with nothing... then as 8:10 falls and it's getting dark...
The first one was 1.3 kg (just shy of 3lbs)
The second was 1.9kg (4.25 lbs!)
Made for a nice night, even though I only managed the 3 fish...

Zoom out from there, I centered on the small bay, which is directly across from the launch...
