Quinte Fishing

i changed my mind last mind re wind, did anyone make it out how windy was it? thankx

We where there Thur and Fri and left Saturday morning. Friday night the hotel we stayed at was full and there was at least 8 - 10 boats tied up and 3 or 4 more waiting to go in. But Saturday morning before we left only one boat ventured out. He just came in as we where about ot leave and he said there where 7 foot waves. They where out for about 1 1/2 hours and didn't get a bite. I'm assuming by the weather no one got out the rest of the day because the winds where supposed to increase. I know a few other guys from our club where staying until Sunday. I'll find out Monday how they made out.

thankx for the info much appreciated, steve

7 footers eh! Hmmmm. They looked a lot more like 3,s and 4,s but if you say so.

I was out on Sunday by the Glenora Ferry
The bay was fine, maybe a 2 ft waves, nothing that the the Crestliner couldnt handle. Hammered the 115 all the way back from the Ferry to Picton, hit 45 mph all the way back with no worries.

A little bumpy, but nothing to worry about. There were about 10 boats doing the circuit, most were higher end 17ft +

Saturday was pretty much unfishable in front of the ferry. Sunday was great, a nice walleye chop. Yesterday started out OK and then we had a squall blow in like a rocket and pelt us with chunks of ice. When the waves were consistently 5 ft and some over 6 we decided to beat a retreat to the cement plant area. My glasses were iced over so I had to take them off and got smashed in the left eye by an "ice cube". It is as red as a plum today and not pleasant. The wind seemed to drop so back we went again. One drift and the gusts had to be over 70/80 clicks, waves over 6ft. A slow, lumpy ride to the cement plant once again, an hour in the outer harbour for two last fish and home we went. What a great place however, see Gerry's post once he gets it done.

it wounded great wish i had been there you have to love quinte in the fall, thanks for reports, steve i have to go this weekend as boat is in water cant have it frozen in three years in a row, i learn from mistakes eventually i hope lol.

What can I say? Sometimes you learn quicker, and sometimes you learn slower. And sometimes the most important lessons get ignored completely! No one is more familiar with this strange paradox than Dr. Piton himself, who is known to repeat errors from time to time.

However this truth remains - I am still not married.

Damn straight I'm not......

Steve Dover,

I fished together with you and Tom on Tom's boat last Fall. If you are looking for a fishing partner this weekend, I am interested. I could meet you at the launch, or we could arrange to drive up together. Please call Tom, and you could get my phone number from him.
