  • On Being Attacked By Ospreys On Bobs Lake

    On Being Attacked By Ospreys On Bobs Lake

    My husband was out in his kayak and lo and behold he feared a serious attack—and wrote the following poem.

    ON BEING ATTACKED BY OSPREYS ON BOBS LAKE

    Listen here and stay awake
My kayak was upon the lake
I paddled slowly took my time
I saw a frog, a squirrel climb

And then I saw above my head
Something that increased my dread
Angry birds with piercing cries
They followed me, I tell no lies

I paddled quickly to escape
My arms outstretched my mouth agape
They circled closely and in one swoop
They dove and promptly dropped some poop

“Help” I cried,” ”a bird attack”
Nasty Ospreys — they don’t quack
Their eyes ablaze their sharpened beak
I thought, “My god, My fate is bleak”

What had I done to prompt their rage?
There was no way I could assuage
I thought I must be near their nest.
I was no man I was a pest!

So I paddled even more
Another swoop, I raced for shore
Diving bombs and then some shit
And I cried, “why this is it!”

But suddenly they flew away
To let me live another day
No longer in their nesting space
I paddled home to my own place

The moral is to check the sky
Make sure no birds are flying by
If they,are don’t be a chump
NPaddle fast, avoid a dump.

  • A Fabulous Fishing Guide

    A Fabulous Fishing Guide

    Sebastian has been on any number of fishing tv shows in the last year. I strongly recommend that you hire him if you are fishing in Bobs Lake or anywhere near Ottawa. It is amazing but the fish just jump into his boat. Here is a photo of him with his catch!

    While any talk of hot spots on Bobs Lake can be overwhelming, Sebastian Kowalczuk, a fishing guide from Bobs Lake Cottages says that “because Bobs Lake is so big you don’t always have to fish structure because the fish move a lot. Finding drop-offs and sand bars is key to success.”

    One of the first things to search out is the weed line. “First of all for Bobs Lake, any weed line drop off using 1/2, 3/4 oz spinnerbaits in white are awesome for bass, pike, and walleye,” Kowalczuk suggests. He also recommends looking for the sand bars in about 6 to 10 meters of water. “Use topwater walk-the-dog baits and poppers for smallmouth bass.
