Quinte Fishing

I am looking to fish a couple salmon tournaments this summer, so I am looking at fishing 2 of the Port Whitby events, on July 2 and July 24, possibly Aug 20th as well, but I might be away.

My boat is only 17.5 feet, but I have used it numerous times on Lake O and Lake Erie, and handles the water fine as long as not too rough. I am equipped with 2 Scotty electric riggers and numerous rod holders from leadcore, wire dipseys, copper line trolling. I don't have a ton of salmon tackle but enough to get by.

I have never fished a salmon tournament, but it is for a good cause, and should be a good time whether we catch fish or not.

I am looking for a 3rd person to complete my 3 person team, possibly 2 people for 1 tournament, depending on my buddy's work schedule.

I am in Smiths Falls area, so could pick someone up on the way to Whitby or meet down there.

Ideally would go down and pre-fish the day before the tournament, and then return home on tournament day after it is over.

Ideally I would like someone that usually buys or is willing to buy a GOSD ticket, for the slim chance we catch a fish worth weighing in for the GOSD, duirng pre-fish or instead of weighing in for the Whitby derby.

If anyone is interested send my a pm and we can chat.

Below is some info on the tournaments.


The Port Whitby Summer Salmon Series benefitting Ringwood Fish Culture Station will take place on:

Sat July 2 Whitby Derby #1 Note: also start of GOSD
Sun July 24 Whitby Derby #2 Note: Whitby harbour day is on Sat July 23 with fireworks show that evening
Sat Aug 20 Whitby Derby # 3 Note: also last day of GOSD.

This is a fantastic and affordable single day tournament option for Lake Ontario anglers, with costs being structured at just $25 per rod (up to a max of 6 rods) and $50 entry per boat for the Calcutta. There's a great prize table raffle and BBQ after each event, in addition to cash and gift card payouts, plus a series' long overall champion category. Proceeds from the tournaments go to support the ongoing chinook pen rearing projects being run by Metro East Anglers out of the Ringwood Fish Culture Station.

Hi Jim,

I'm in exactly the same boat as you....well not exactly it's a Legend 18xtreme but team wise I mean. I also am looking for the 3rd person and have never done salmon tourneys before. Let me know if you ever wind up solo. We'd be taking the fridays off too.
