    Default Pre Season bass in Outaouais / Ottawa River

    After catching the nice bass in the St. Lawrence river the previous day, we decided on a last minute/ spur of the moment ½ day trip to the Outaouais / Ottawa river as I figured the bass should be on their way in to spawn. We used 4 inch shiners with pike rigs under bobbers for this one. As I know my spot, we used the bobber to drift the bait over the intended "strike zone" with deadly results. Within 20 minutes I caught 2 bass in the 3.5 LB range. The days ended with 3 more bass in the 2 - 2.5 LB range, all on the same rig, using the same bait, over the same spot. All fish were live released as the season on the river is closed until mid June.
