Shore fishing in the Kemptville Area
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2015 7:07 am
I moved to Kemptville a few years ago but have only recently gotten back in to fishing. Unfortunately, I'm stuck to the shore and haven't had much success. I primarily target bass, but I've only managed to catch a couple of small pike. At this point, I don't care what I catch as long as I catch something other than bluegills. I've tied spinners, spoons, jigs, plastics, top waters etc, but I don't seem to have much luck. My kids are pulling in small bluegills and perch like crazy with worms, but that doesn't really interest me. Here's the spots I've tried:
1. Lock 17 at Burrits Rapids
2. Top of the dam just west of Burrits Rapids
3. Small creek off River road, just before Acton's Corners (got the pike here)
4. Bridge at 44 and River Road
A few other places I've considered are:
1. Boat launch off Reevecraig and Greenline road
2. Northern bridge at Burrits Rapids. Looks like I can wade to the little "island" and fish off that into the middle of the channel.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
