Skunked on Quinte

Walleye · **Posted:** Mon Nov 08, 2004 9:34 am

Hi all.
The wife and I, and another couple spent the weekend at Picton. We got out saturday and fished from 8 till noon then 3 till 6. We fished from the ferry to the harbour and along the cement plant. Not one bite. I had no manns but had very similar cranks running from 22 to 15 feet on the board and longlining. Had stick baits off the rigger at 30 ft and 20 ft. We tried everything in the tackle tray. We had a great time regardless.
Sunday we joined the fleet at adolphus reach and watched pretty near every boat we passed pull in a fish. That made up for seeing nothing on saturday. I was doing the same speed as everyone else and when that didn't work I went fast and then slow, still no action. Once again a great morning, we had to bailout by noon.
I am coming back in two weeks and would surely like any advice on what I was doing wrong or on what I might try to do it correctly.
We didn't have a map until saturday morning but because of all the posts and replies on this forum we had a real good idea of what to expect and I would like to thank everyone on the forum for sharing good information.
Cheers Clark

Hey Walleye, you mentioned other were catching them around you. Happen to notice if it was on boards or riggers :?:

I've seen where some days the riggers are what you need, while other days it's planer boards :!:

You just never know :!:

Many other small things come into it. Tuning your bait every once in awhile helps too!

You'll slay 'em next time :!:

Hi Wall-I-Guy.
I was trying to see what bait, what line and what speed. It seemed the down wind guys were catching, on boards or long lines with crank's although I saw a couple on spinners. That was the the ones I saw, I am sure there were others as well that were different. The largest I saw was about 6-7 lbs and most were in the 2-3 lb range. I didn't see any of the monster's I have heard about though. I would have been happy to get a knock off but we did actually catch a gobie on a Husky Jerk. The good thing for me was that the last time I went fishing was in Pinefalls MB. and all my cranks were muddy from smackin the clay, now they are clean.
Cheers Clark
