I've been out there 3 times in the last 1.5 weeks. No bites the first two times (went between 4-8pm looking for walleye or ling). Sunday, perch were biting between 10-11:30am, then they shut down on me. I came back later in the afternoon and got 3 sauger within 15 minutes, and then nothing.

I don't have a hut and tried different spots each time, so that might have something to do with it.

Shirleys - The mystery

It is funny how Shirleys is like that.... boom action in the morning bite and then 4-4:30 boom action for a brief afternoon bite... and you might as well be knitting booties for the rest of the day.... I gave up on the joint... too bad too because you would think that the place would be much better than it is.

I was out there twice the past week just from 3-630 each night. Two 8" walleye (barely bigger than the minnows) one night in about 8' water... and went out further the next night about 10' of water and got 2 fat perch no wallies.

Does anyone know of a map of that area of the ottawa for depths and stuff. I've never fished it before and wondering if there's deep water/humps anything out there? I'm bliind out there!

Thanks
Graeme

Graembo,

You will have to walk a LONG way to find any depth of water....that area is a huge flat...ranging from 3 feet to about 12....and 12 is tough to find....
