Great report and pics Mike Thanks for taking the time to put together this report Loved the ice pics.... the second one where you see the huts lined up..... was that from an Outfitter? The area looks real beautiful The new ride sure looks real nice Congratulation to both of you for a great year of fishing Looking forward to the hard water reports

Great report and pics Ben Real nice colors on those specks What was the ice thinkness?? Good job and thanks for sharing Leechman

Thanks Marco, won't be long now if the weather holds below zero Paul was down there this morning to check it out and the bay is frozen over but the ice is very thin..... yeah hitting other area sounds great..... never fished for whitefish before.... would be cool to try Will see you soon down there my friend

Thanks Mike, sure would be awesome if you could join us this winter on the Ottawa Looking forward to your winter reports also

Thanks lew.... funny you mention Wendover cause just got back from there.... tried a few hours but no bite The only thing we "whitespinnerbait aka Paul and I" got was cold feet and fingers..... man was it ever cold out on the river this afternoon Guess Musky will have to wait til next year for me.... if you ever plan a trip down there, let me know and we could join you..... would be like a mini G2G

I remember correctly Kevin.... I was the one that netted the beast... Look at it Unbelievable.... Monster speck

Hey Simon, Must feel real good to be on ice today..... You did not get any fish but man I'm jelous Can't wait for the ice to get to a safe thickness so that I and the other two amigos "whitespinnerbait and fishing 24/7" can get out there and enjoy a day or half a day of hard water fishing Thanks for sharing Leechman

COOL Simon.... if you are allowed live minnows, give it a try.... Bass or any species can't resist them.... remember simple setup or try a spoon "william wobbler" of some sort with a jiggin rod.... just never know

Great report and pics ehg Kudos for braving mother nature and getting real nice mix bag of fish Thanks for sharing Leechman

WOAH Don -19 with the wind shield.... hardcore for sure That wind was wicked this morning and did not even try to venture out on the Ottawa..... May be tomorrow will give ski a try but it has to be a little more warm for that Thanks for the report Don Jacques

Hey Steve.... now look what you done Reunited the three amigos and you know what, can't wait for April too.... It will be an honour to ride in your boat

Great report and pics JDMLS Nice chrome for sure.... congratulation Thanks for sharing Leechman

Thanks fishindevil What you said is so true.... never know what you can catch on the Ottawa and that's what makes it real exciting Them cats sure put up a good tussle.... the bigger ones keep bottom and use the current to it's advantage Thanks again and will be keeping an eye out for your hard water report Thanks mepps... sure is going to be hard but will give it me best.... just can't wait for some safe ice to build and then is rock on

Great report and pics Mike Love the gar pics Superb A good mix bag of fish and real nice Thanks for sharing Leechman

Other popular choice is the 300Magnum and the 270. Leechman

Thanks Ben If we go tomorrow.... will give it our best shot

Yummm that looks real delicious..... what time you said to come over Leechman

Memories indeed If it's not to cold may be give it one last chance...... Will talk tomorrow

Thanks Kevin, Will hit the bay at first safe ice

Great introduction Kevin WTG Glad you finally decided to join..... best site on the planet and lots of good folks Congratulation on your year end fishing and welcome to OFC Are you ready for hard water now?? Jacques

Merci Brian

Thanks Simon, All those bass were caught on a tip-up rigged with hook and minnow...... On the Ottawa river, we are allowed live minnows but anywhere else, only allowed dead frozen minnows. Some of my buddies use jiggin rods rigged with a spoon and were catching bass. Not sure when bass season closes in Ontario, if I were you, I'd check the Ont. MNR regs for your region. Out here in Quebec, it closes March 31st, 2009. Jacques

Thanks everyone for the kind words It sure was a fun year and looking forward to hard water Good luck to all of you and play it safe on hard water The big O has lots to offer and is the only zone that we can fish with live minnows as bait If you ever want to try Lac St-Marie, I'd be more then happy to show you some of my hot spots Now if I can only catch a musky.... it be a great way to end the softwater season I let them go simply because I tried one once and find them too oily.... lots of fat on them. I prefer the lake cats.... a lot smaller and very tasty

Great report, pics and videos Mike Congratulation to all of you Thanks for taking the time to redo your report and sharing it with us There's only one word that come to mind and it's "AWESOME" Again great job Mike Leechman
