Original English title:Good off-shore fishing spots?

My dog will be with me, he doesn't like water, haha, so he'll just sit with me.

Also on Central Avenue, right near the golf course (beside the golf course), lots of people fish the McIntyre River by the bridge. You can park on Riverside Dr and walk down. Sometimes it's busy because lots of university students go there. (6)

Fishing can be slow sometimes. Bass are fun when they're hungry! If you're lucky, walleye too. The Monte dale launch is easy to get to, but there's always people there. If you go there, you'll have to socialize. Too many people for me. The end of Hume Road is a nice place to hang out. Fishing is hit or miss, but it's nice to relax on the big rocks there. The Sunshine Bridge is also a good spot. (4)
