putting the baby down and making time for a shore-fish

I'm taking a friend out for a quick fish from shore this evening after I put my daughter down for the night. We're in the Glebe/Ottawa South. I know Dows Lake can be a quick and easy spot, same with the Broson bridge and the park near Riverside and Bank....
I find though that when I do go to these areas i get stuck in extremely heavy weeds and things never really turn out well.... SO.....
....If anyone would like to suggest any fairly specific locations (anything where I wont be dragging through clouds of weeds) in this area it would be very very very helpful for me.

Please don't put down your baby, there are other options: adoption, CAS...etc. Think it through dude, fishing.....family....fishing....family... should all be able to "just get along". Putting down should only be a last resort.
If you're fishing those inner city sloppy areas, as mentioned above, chunk a big weedless frog across the weed/grass mats, there are fish in there. Or a weedless rigged, weightless Fluke with a big 5/0 hook would also suffice.
Good luck!
