Nice Report. Just currious, where is this boat launch? West End, i've actually never launched in the West but looks like a nice, paved, set up!

Cheers,

Yes I was Handlining
I figured someone would notice the reel
The launch is in Petawawa.
The water just went up, allot, so the launch is great now.

Thanks

There are 5's ans 6's but not too often
Even a few bigger
id say average is 2

I am heading out in an hour to fish the Ottawa for 2 days and then moose hunt/fish for the week
Its a new fishing spot so i report back next weekend with some pics and vid's

Good report and nice pics.

I'm hoping you post a few more hand-line reports. Something I've never really herd much about.

Thanks for sharing,
DS

Nice fish you got there. Glad to hear the launch is better it was starting to get bad on the one side there.

This spring I caught one 4lber and several 3's, We had a 5.5lber in a tournament this summer too. Biggest I've seen out of the ottawa is mounted on my buddies wall 8.2. Saw a 9.5er last year out of the Petawawa River (drains into the Otawa river.

There are some nice ones out there for-sure.

Thanks

Well, first day back from my trip
We didn’t do too well fishing
Caught 10 walleye, 2 small pike and a few smallmouth
We did shoot a moose though

I won’t be putting the boat away till December so I'll post some more handling photo's
I will try and get a video

Here is an old pic from Lake Nippising, you can see the handlines, the spoon's we use, and a monster Perch
