Quinte Fishing

My neighbor loves to fish and has been after me to take him on the ice to see what its all about. so today being as warm as it was i figured it would be a good day to go and mess around a bit and see how he likes it. I gotta tell you boys its hard to give up big fish for little fish but nothing really beats the action one can have on a smaller lake........ we landed a few pike, a few bass, and a few perch in a few hours. I startyed him fishing blinde at first then turned him loose with the flasher lol. only thing missing was howling wind and brutal cold weather but i think the kid really liked the fair weather ice and he managed a few fish on the topside and that made it all worth it to me!

His first ever fish on the ice, go figure it would be a bass lol then he followed it up with a few perch and a pike

I couldnt resist taking a picture of this perch go figure its as nice of a perch as you would find out on the bay for sure pretty fish!

So a few hours passed and off the ice we went so he could head on back to college and im resting for a fight with some quinte pigs in the morning.. be safe boys, keep your eyes on the ice!

That is a hog of a perch ,my mouth is watering , good for you introducing a youngster to the wonderful world of the outdoors

Yah Bill that lad has fished the soft water for a few years with me now, and we finly got in a hardwater trip, I have a soft spot for young guys My own father wasnt much on hunting or fishing, and i was taken in by a few older guys in my young years and shown the sports and no some how i keep doing that myself maybe its a drive to give back things i was shown and would have never known if it wasnt for mentors in my life. who knows but it is what it is I like kids....... whats odd is my own sons dont hunt or fish much lol I never force it on them . its more like the train is going either get on or ill see you later lol I have great sons, maybe one day they will get in the game lol

way to go grizz

I'd like to find some perch like that in the summer.
where are you fishing in the pic wellington side?

yep charlie thats the side...........I have a friend who has a house that offers me easy access so thats the side i fish durring the hardwater season........... ive cought some nice perch on westlake but that is by far the nicest one ive cought there. and also one of the hiden treasures to westlake since its connected to Lake O you just never know what big fish yer gonna find in there

I have fished the lake for years and look forward the winter to get a bag of those winter perch. May see you out there one day. I was out this week for 2 mornings but haven't found the schools yet they are very scattered.
