Quinte Fishing

After plying the waters of the river for 'eyes with little success over the last 2-3 years, I finally seem to be getting into some gooduns. Finding them in unpredictable spots from kingston to Cardinal have yet to hit any numbers of them consistently, but here's some recent big walters:

Got this 8.5 lb'r jigging my favorite large pike spoon last week...which was lost the following night in the same spot when something big broke my 20lb braid (was using a heavy flour leader)



Went back to that same spot the following night and fished from 6pm till 1am without a bite

Got this 11+lbr (scale was all over the place) on a reef runner 'drifting' in 50-60km/hr wind and hail on Sunday, put up one hell of a fight on my 6'10" medium rod

Those are really nice fish, bet it wasn't a fun time on Sunday with the wind - You're a brave soul.

Thanks for sharing your river fish with us.

Sweet eyes for sure!!!

Looks like I should give the river a try in the fall sometime, I've only fished for eyes a bit in the spring.

Great job out there.
