This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

NEED Help, Real Quick

Post by stephenP »

I've spent the first three days of my vacation obeying "she who must be obeyed if I ever want to see her naked again", and I've been putting down hard wood flooring. That means no pre-fishing for a tournament I have on the Rideau this Saturday, launching at Rideau Ferry consevation area. Here's the problem: 1. I've never fished the water before. How tricky is the water with regards to submerged obstructions? 2. Where do I go? North-East into Lower Rideau or South-West into Big Rideau. My maps seem to tell me that there are more Bucketmouth type bays if I head south I.E. McCleans Bay and Adams Lake, if you can get into it. Can you? MacDonalds Bay also looks intriguin but it is a long haul. All help graciously welcome. Thanks

Hi:

I'll send you a PM with some info.

Skip Adams Lake- not worth the bother- you can get in OK, but wouldn't recommend wasting your time there.

I second that.

The slop around Beveridges Locks can hold some bigger bucketmouths. :)

All the Tips Helped

Thanks to all of you who shared your secret honey holes. 1st fish 15 minutes into the tournament and culling by 1045. I kept upgrading throughout the day but its a slow process when a 12 incher gets replaced by a 13 incher, then replaced by a 14 incher, etc, etc,etc. The good news is my son and I weighed in our limit of 5 fish but we didn't get the hogs we needed to compete for the top 10. My boy and and did however enjoy the day immensely. Thanks again to all.
