Quinte Fishing

Congratulations to all those people who managed to get out today for Browns out of Wellington. I was in tears as I drove into Wellington picking up materials for the property and looked across at the Beach St. launch and saw all those trailers. Hope you all felt pity for those that had to work on such a beautiful day. Make me cry, lets see those reports.

It certainly was a beautiful day to be out in the boat. Not much to report here though. Tried to the west and found 40-41 degree murky waters and tried every colour and style stick bait and spoon in the box between 4-20 FOW at 1.5-2.5 mph. But at least I washed the winter dust off everything and it sure beat going to work.
Rest of the waters in the area were crystal clear and 37-38 degrees. Hope someone has a better fish report than we did.

Laker John and I arr'd at the Beach Launch at 0730 and ran into Trophy Hunter, exchanged greetings and we headed out. Started fishing at 0800, trolling west in 6 - 10 feet of water dragging stickbaits. Some of our 'Shallow' baits began hooking bottom on the lake side, must have been some rocks?????.

Trolled an hour west and turned back, changing lures, going to a pattern that worked last year, the Evil Eye spoon. At 0925, the inside board of the shore side fired and the fish jumped right away. Brought the board in and with only 30 feet behind it, the fish was close. John scooped and the fish was ours.



We continued to troll the shoreline with no further results, finishing the day exploring the deeper water to see if the fish had moved out from the shallows with the bright sun, nothing...

Took a shot for the history file of the 1st fishing tip of 2014 (Soft-water version)



Hit the launch at 1430 and headed home, there were still five other trailers there when we left, it was a very busy ramp.

Snapped another shot - just in case.



It was a great day to be out on the water, sunny, slight breeze adn to escape the grasps of the long and cold winter made it most enjoyable.

Stay Tuned - at Least one more trip before the 3rd of May
