Wait a few weeks and once walleye season opens, hit the banks of the Ottawa for some crazy night eye action. A good place to start is behind parliament hill along the bike path. Fish from in front of Victoria island all the way up to the locks. You can also fish from on Victoria island itself.
I only fish at night for walleye. I don't even bother during the day... I've had countless nights of 20 walleyes or more from shore. You tend to catch much bigger fish at night as well. You miss more too because a lot can go wrong when you're fighting a huge fish from shore... Fish during a full moon on a clear night and the action will be fast and furious.
All you need is a head lamp and you're good to go. I use jigs from as light as 1/8oz up to 3/8oz depending on depth and current. The jigs will be tipped with soft plastic 3-4 inch minnow swim baits. I also use 4 inch grubs/twister tails. I also use an assortment of 4-6 inch crank baits.
Generally I have much more success in the fall at night but the first month of the season in the spring is usually great from shore as well.
Don't forget to bring a camera and make a nice little report for us once you catch a nice one from shore!

Get yourself a head lamp and go fishing in the evening for walleye. Try the stretch behind the parliament from victoria island up to the locks. Cast jigs tipped with plastic grubs or swim baits. Remember to often cast parallel to shore as the walleyes often sit close to shore at night. Reel slowly as the fish move slower in the colder fall waters. When you're almost done reeling in, pause your retrieval as this will often get those following fish to finally hit your bait. Keep your headlamp off while you're fishing as the light will spook the fish. Only turn on your light when you really need to use it. Follow these simple instructions and you will hook into many walleyes this fall and probably even a few giants. Have fun, bring a camera and don't forget to post a report for us!
