Quinte Fishing

Laker & I got away from the Picton Ramp at 0745, headed back to Bayview Resort - Hay Bay.

I forget my survival suit at the trailer.

Fished at Thompsons and west shore with Stickbats, Jigs and Uzicks ( Had to try em in the fall )

Headed over to the ferry area and met the flotilla, tough fishing with the winds and the number of boats.

Some doing well - others doing zip (That would be us)

Back to Merland Park for the FABULOUS Fish Fry & Chili Cookout. Met some old posters and met some new ones.

It was nice to say hello to everyone. Thanks for your support with my fishing reports. Hope they help.

Back out and heading to the ferry BUT the winds and the number of boats drove back west. Laker (John) got a nice 20 incher near the Marina on a NO 9 Rapala - Taildancer - Hot Chub colour. He had another another strike and lost it.

We came back to Picton Bay and fished into the darkness, marking a fair number of fish in the deeper waters.

Trolled into Picton Harbour, dodging the traffic.

Is is just me or "are there no baitfish in Picton Harbour?" Used to see clouds on the graph - now nothing.

We haven't put the boat away yet and are planning some more fall fishing.

Stay Tuned.

Hey Superdad, glad to see you guys had a nice weekend. So what was your feeling, is it primetime now or do you think when the baitfish show it'll get better? I know when I've been there previous years, if the baitfish are there the biting has been very good. And when they are there you can almost walk on them their so thick. Sounds like Jennifer and Kevin will have to expand on the place if it keeps going....next year for me hopefully!...thanks for the reports...

Sheesh!....And it appears I only see one person with a beer (possibly) in your pictures! ...

Don't even think of putting your boat away yet. The best is yet to come! December is a kick-ass month. As long as there is open water, there are fish to be caught.

We did very well in the harbour the other night, thank you very much. Heed the words of Dr. Piton - rumour has it [completely unconfirmed] that Bob Izumi is now referring to him as "Dr. Pickerel" because we outfished him when we were there last week. [Tuesday? Wednesday? can't remember..... I suffer from CRS]

Ay, it's true. Counting his film crew, there were six of them, and they told Josh that they had caught five fish. The two of us caught four - you do the math.

Josh and I pulled away from the ramp around 2330. As we left, we glanced out into the harbour to see the camera crew furiously casting, desperate to catch another fish so they would have something to film.

Next time they should fish with us.

With the north east winds Saturday and Sunday the warm'er surface water
was pushed south into Picton Bay. The surface temp. in the bay was a degree or two warmer and as a result the best baitfish markings were in the south end of Picton bay. Sometimes that sun warming the surface temp. up turns the Walleye bite on.
