Quinte Fishing

The weather was right and my Dad was feeling good, so Laker John and I took him fishing.

Got out to the Old Church and got the lines over at 1200, my line was in the water approx 25 seconds and I felt a fish pull, "Fish ON!!!!" Bert and John's line were hardly 15 feet behind the boat and I was into a fish.

We clearly the rods and Bert said, "You fight it", brought it up to the boat and big head and white belly showed a Pike, Darn!!!! Not a walleye. John slipped the net under the fish and it began to squirm in the net, broke the line before I could control it. Grabbed the Berkley scales and the fish weighed in at 8 lb 8 oz. A real nice fish, very broad thru the back, nonetheless, the fish was released.

We trolled up and down and after not having any luck in the shallows, we trolled a little deeper with the same results. Heading back to the shallows, my lure crawled up the underwater slope and I had another strike.

I gave Bert the rod and he reeled in a Sheepshead about 20inches. No pictures but slipped the fish back to grow.

Finished fishing around 1400 and headed back to Bayview on Hay Bay for a bit of lunch.

Not many fish but still a great fishing trip, my Dad was happy to get out on the water and wet a line.

Stay Tuned.

PS The weather forecast for Friday had high winds , so Laker John and I took the Superdad out of the water this morning. The winds were getting fierce as we left Hay Bay.

Great report as always Superdad. Love reading your posts. Thanks for the report.
