Lol. I had almost that conversation. Went to family event and was talking with her dad and brothers about looking for boats and a canoe. Driving back she turns and looks at me, and says, "so we're getting a boat too?" I laughed and said, yup! Eventually. Start with a canoe. I need to watch the Facebook yard sale pages more. Missed a couple of them on there for under 300 bucks and both looked in good shape.

Lol. I don't know what a yak or a stinkpot are.

Thanks! Limited to a canoe for now, once final closing costs and everything else shakes out I'm hoping I'll have enough to convince my wife to let me get a boat. Shore was so flooded the past month I'm not sure my frontage will be good enough for a dock and boat, but we'll see (unlike most we weren't anywhere close to flooding at least). I know the neighbours have a small dock (well underwater when we were there) so should be able to at least get an aluminum dingy with an outboard in there. I kind of figured I'd hang out one morning at the launch at the point and ask the friendlier locals about spots around the islands. I have found a nice depth chart so that should help too.

Hi all! I'm moving to Petawawa in July and managed to get a house with frontage right on the Ottawa River. As such, I'm looking to start fishing more often. Right now I just do some light canoe fishing for walleye and bass. So I'm curious if anybody knows some good spots on the River around the islands near the mouth of the Petawawa River. My place is just East of the mouth. I'm happy to fish for anything, though have never caught anything bigger than maybe a ten pound pike so would really like to try Muskie (once I get a proper boat lol, don't think canoe fishing Muskie would be smart). I'd love to try Sturgeon too, but don't think that's allowed on the Ottawa even with release. Thanks!
