Boat Rescue Service On Ottawa River?

Hello,

Long shot and I hope I am not breaking any rules but this is as close to an Ottawa area boat forum I have found thus far.

I am looking for an on water tow service to tow my boat from a dock in Hull Marina (got towed by a boater in there and parked temporarily after hitting something in the water) to Leblanc Marina who can do repairs on my boat.

Its a 23 ft boat that has blown lower drive unit and engine that has hydrolocked.

I am searching for anyone (paid service or an individual) who can help tow my boat or refer me to someone.

TIA.

Still some nickels in the canal.

A bit tougher the find this year, but the rain had them moving. Little oinker couldn’t resist the ol white chatter bait.

Share your wins this week fishing

Got out twice this week.

Once for a frog/flipping night in the Rideau river. Landed some good ones and worked out the frog rod

Also got out on the lower Rideau. Everything we found was one offs. Not groups to be hadm and then it was mostly tight to shore.

Mississippi Lake Saturday 🎣

Heading out to Mississippi Lake Saturday morning after making a quick stop at Baitcasters to pick up an order I’ve got waiting for me. Planning to stay on the water until around 4:30.

I’ve got a buddy who may jump in the boat, but I’ve still got room on the 20-ft bass boat if anyone wants to get out and fish!

Plan is mainly frogging, pitching and flipping, but you never know what Mississippi Lake is going to throw at you. 😂 

Not a guided trip — just looking to get out, have some fun, and hopefully put a few bass in the boat, I always have water in the cooler, but bring what you like. Just no bananas.

If you’re interested in jumping in and don't mind kicking in $$, **shoot me a message**. 🎣

Little bubble bath :)

With all the heat past couple weeks, every creature likes fresh cool water flow and little bubble bath.

Good luck on the water over the weekend folks!

Upper Rideau lake Saturday instead of Mississippi lake.

Upper Rideau lake — Saturday, August 15, WAS going to Mississippi but it's flooded currently. 🎣

Heading out to Lower Rideau (Rideau ferry area) Saturday morning, on the water for 630-645am until 230-3pm

My buddy can’t make it anymore, so I’ve got room for TWO people on the 20-ft pro V if anyone wants to get out and fish!

Weather is looking pretty sweet, so hopefully it’ll be a great day on the water. ☀️🎣

Should be some good topwater to start, then  probably a chatterbait/ Texas rigs/ Carolina rig.

Not a guided trip — looking to get out, have some fun, and hopefully put a few bassover the rail. I always have water in the cooler, but bring what you liketo drink, plenty of room in the built in cooler. Just no bananas. 🍌😂

All I ask is that you kick in $ for gas.

If you’re interested in jumping in, shoot me a DM.. 🎣

🎣 Mississippi Lake Bass Fishing — Extra Seat! 🎣

Heading out to Mississippi Lake this Wednesday for a day of chasing bass and I’ve got one open seat in the boat.

This is NOT a guided trip — just looking for someone who wants to get out on the water, catch some fish, talk some trash, and have a good time. 😂

Plan is to get out early and fish until around 2 PM. No pressure, no sales pitch, no expectations of a tournament-winning bag… although I’m not saying we won’t try! 😎🎣

If you’re into bass fishing, enjoy being out on the water, and can handle a few bad jokes and hopefully some good fish, shoot me a DM.

Boat is covered. Just bring yourself, your gear, whatever you like to drink/eat (no bananas!), and a willingness to chase some bass.

Let’s go bend some rods! 🎣🔥

The toothy critters are biting, couple more caught this week.

Good time to hit the water, you won't catch them watching Netflix :)
