Has anyone ice fished out from the rocky point at Britannia Park in the west end of Ottawa?

I'm not sure about winter but in the summer I've had decent luck at this location, and I usely outfish the people around me I use artificials occasionally worms and some secret strategies which I will not disclose. Ice fishing at this location probaly would be bad because most of the fish located around the point is smallmouth and mooneye If mooneye are active in the winter you could probaly catch a few but I doubt they are, also there is a drop off along the tip of the longest stone wall. Report back with your findings if you decide to go. But you would probaly be better off at constance lake, shirleys bay, buckhams or constance bay or long island.Watch out for currents.

Yeah, I've fished there during the warmer months on occasion, the longest rocky point was actually the least productive for me most times.. with that said, the days that it was bopping, you could catch decent fighting smallies, a few massive pike would occasion even jump out, there is walleye there. There is lotsa perch..
catfish might be right about it being weaker fishing during the winter, but then agian who knows, fish move around in the winter and its alot of water..
for me, it's better luck usually at the other rocky points (in the summer atleast), but that's just my 2 cents + lint..
