I'm fairly new to the Ottawa region and the local fish species. I don't have a boat and have spent most of my time shore fishing.
I was out at Morris Island on Monday for half the day with my father and we didn't even get a bite.

I covered a good portion of the shore line, moving regularly. I changed lures and setup regularly but I didn't even see a minnow in the water.
My question is, do I need to change tactics in the fall? Do the fish come near the shore, or do they migrate to the main river?
Thanks!
