Help need suggestions on good shore fishing spots

[jassjason88]

Hey guys, I know its not something that one would do, to give away a secret fishing spot. But me and steady-eddy have been all over ottawa within an hour radius trying to find some spots that produce good result. We have had very little luck, and pretty empty wallets now. So I ask for those who are willing to share some good shore fishing spots. Thank you

Try searching these forums for shore spot threads, I'm sure I have seen others similar to your question. Good luck

Where the Jock River meets the Rideau, just off Prince of Wales has produced some smaller muskies pretty consistently for me....Even just using rapala's will do the trip. Just jerk about and you are sure to find one swimming about.

For cats you can always try the Bonnechere river, there's a spot you can walk in to towards the end of it, away from the Otatwa, and cats like the area beneath the falls.

As Dcaster mentioned there are years worth of threads full of the information you're looking for. I would also suggest using Google Maps/Earth to check out areas as well. Also, you're definitely limiting yourself in terms of locations if you're not willing to get your feet wet.

If there wasn't any challenge to catching fish it wouldn't be called fishing now would it?...

HI Welcome to FH

I've always had success at Dick Bell park and the Wendover launch.

Not really wanting to trailer down to Blair or beyond.

Anywhere around Fitzroy hold them?

Don't want specific spots just an area....It'll make his day for sure...

what are you looking to catch?, theres more than enough mudpout on the nation river for everyone. hook,worm,sinker pretty basic chit, but becareul, I hear there are some crazies along that river

Yep, might be.... but most of them stay on the Ottawa near Wendover

I have also had pretty good luck at Clarence point. Either north of the picnic area fishing the rock shoal, casting worms in the weeds on the east side of the road, or dragging hard biats and jigs through the down-stream flow of the 3 culverts passing under the road.
