Quinte Fishing

I know most guys target Wallys this time of year but I’m still on the hunt for the monster gator I know must lurk in the cold Lake Ontario waters, and this is the best time of year to try to catch one. Went out this afternoon with a like minded friend in hopes of catching one. Sadly 13 pounds was our biggest today , I know that’s a great fish but I really was hoping for a 20 plus. What we did get was 5 hrs of reeling thanks to the onslaught of pike that where eating today.
8 to 14 inch Muskie baits (Jakes and grandmas) and a couple of reef runners, trolled on planers where the meal of choice.
21 fish landed with the smallest being around 7 pounds. Almost all were over 10.
I know I am lucky to live so close to a fishery that is full of trophy fish of any different number of species. Don’t get locked into one kind. They all eat this time of year.

Way to take advantage of your location. Wish I lived close to that kind of action this time of year.

Thanks for the report and great pictures Bob! I love my pickerel fishing but Pickerel sure don't fight like a pike. I'm sure you guys had a blast reeling those beautiful fish in. I sure am tempted to sacrifice a day of Walleye fishing to give that a whirl!

Thanks again for the report!

Nice fish. Wouldn't go north with fish like that here.

Those are some beautiful fish. It’s also quite evident that they are eating well, they are really well proportioned. Good for you guys! 21 fish wow!
