Ottawa River Walleye Supertanker!

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.

Would using planner boards and large deep diving stick baits work up here like they work down in Quinte?
Most of the walleye in the Ottawa area relate to bottom structure and do not spend most of their life suspended feeding on bait fish like the Great Lakes walleye...so a quick answer to your question is no, but there is always exceptions. :D In August I have caught suspended walleye in deep lake basins like Centennial, Pike , Crotch, Sharbot and Muskrat Lake with an inline planer board spread...most of these lakes have murky water so the boards are only for spreading the lures, not to prevent spooking walleye. I have found that a lot of the big fish like to suspend in deep lakes through out the summer months...in fall they usually move back into the deep holes at the mouth of the rivers and spawning areas to stage for the winter months. You can catch these fish by trolling but they are concentrated in a small area so vertical jig'n and live bait rigs work great...this is also the best technique and time of year for a trophy walleye.

go and get em'
You ET are a fountain of good walleye info. :) I'm gonna throw the minnow trap in tonight and give them eyes one more try tomorrow, even if it takes me away from the pike. Thanks again.

Thanks once again for the kudos boys! For those of you looking for live bait Manotick Bait and Tackle (they sponser this site) has some. I was there today and bought some nice suckers and they have a ton left.

I was also speaking to the owner and I mentioned the Musky outing at the end of the month and he told me that if enough guys would guarantee they would buy suckers he would bring in a large order for that week. Something to think about.
