Quinte Fishing

Launched out of Picton at 8am and headed straight for the gap. While motoring down bumped into Tom Gustar who had already landed a bunch of fish. I set up right in the gap and gave it an hour. It was rough and when I lost my drift sock and couldnt troll slow enough I pulled up and headed back to aldophus town. Fortunately I had a second sock onboard but a smaller one which didnt quite slow me down enough unless I trolled into the wind. For the day we went 4/7 as well as few drum too.

The guy I took out doesnt like to use boards so he flatlined and I used the boards. 3 of the fish came on the boards and one on the flatline. At one point the flag dropped and the board was skipping across the water. I grabbed the rod and it as tearing line out. I tried to slow it down and had my buddy throw it in neutral. It still kept going and I thought I am going to lose the Dr and the board if I dont turn it around. It stripped more line and I see the knot on the spool and decide the only thing I can do is clamp down and hold on. I did so and managed to pop the Dr and save the board. When i got the lure back in it had a big white scace on the hook. I guess I foul hooked a big drum

Most of the fish came on the firetiger storm thundercrank but also one on the Manns and one on a deep diver rouge. The Manns was the firetiger crystal glow.

Great report Dan

Sorry to hear about the bag. Sounds like it could've been worse, if you'd lost the board too


At least you managed some fish that's the best part
