Looking For Models for an OOD Shoot

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.

Looking For Models for an OOD Shoot

Post by JustinHoffman »

Hello All,
Thought I'd see if anyone might be interested in this, and help me out at the same time. I'm currently working on an Urban Angling article that will be showcasing Ottawa. It will be running in Ontario Out of Doors magazine next year. Basically, the article will cover up to 10 spots in Ottawa that are great for shorefishing, with some having opportunities for boating anglers also. Some of the spots I will be covering are Dows Lake, Kars, Petrie Island, Billings Bridge etc...
What I'm looking for is to shoot some photos to go with the article. Was out last weekend, and the shorefishermen/gals are few and far between. Now, I can't guarantee that the magazine will run the photo, but there's a pretty good chance since I'm running out of time.
So here's what I'm wondering:
Is anyone going to fishing Dows Lake or Petrie Island tomorrow or Saturday? Either mid-afternoon or early evening? If you have kids or a family with you, all the more better, but a solo angler would work great too.
If anyone already had plans to head to either of those spots, just post here or shoot me a PM. I'd love to come down and shoot a bunch of film.
As I said, I can't promise you fame and stardom, but if they don't make it in the article, I'm sure I can find another medium to showcase them.
Thanks in advance and good fishing,
Justin

Glenn not available

I heard that Glenn was available since he was not tied up with a photo shoot with the Upper Ottawa Valley gang and their Ranger boat which slipped through their nets at Charleston. Hope you have a wide angle lens to be able to capture all of that body and fishing action.

Victoria Island beside the bike path is also a popular shore fishing site.Most nights and weekends there is people fishing there.
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

Hey LarryS,
DrBriones PM'd me last night, and I'm going to meet him and his 3-year old daughter down at Dow's at around 5:30pm. I'm probably going to get there around 5pm and scout the area, and see if anyone else is fishing. If you happen to be down there, I'm sure I'll find you. The more the merrier!
Good Fishing,
Justin

I will meet you at the stone steps at the boat house. Look for a maroon fish-hawk hat.

Hey Larry,
Does "boat house" mean where the restaurants and boat launch is?
