Quinte Fishing

Wen't out for a few hours on Thursday. Fished just in front of the pig farm to the boat ramp. Caught 11 walleyes including several between 20"-25" and one whopper: 29", 11lbs!!! Great eatin'!!! I prefer the big ones. Will be out again on Sunday...hope I have the same luck.

where is this boat ramp everyone talks about. i live in ottawa and have never fished the bay but plan to this weekend. any tips would be greatly appreciated. ex depth, color, jigging, trolling

thanks a million

The launch site on the South Shore is approx1/2 km from the Hay Bay Old Church. Still confused?

The Launch site is accessible from the South Shore Hay Bay Road and is almost directly across the bay from Perfect Vue or the HUGE Silo on the North Shore Road.

I tried looking at the map as shown in the Home page, but was unable to zero in on Hay Bay.

Try Cdn Tire for a Fishing Map of East Bay of Quinte.

Hope that assists

Anything over 5 should go back in the drink, IMO.

Eating 11 pounders???? I've gotta be reading you wrong, right?

You should be drooling over the photograph with that one, not over a plate.

Oily, scaly, chock full o' carcinogens. Yuck.

The "Eyecatcher" is the double-digit eating culprit, not SuperDad.

Should have known that from past posts.

Are you out of your tree...eating 11 pounders!!! I hope you get scholiosis of the blow hole you head case. Eat the small ones and take a picture of those large ones. If you get the drip and you glow at night like a full moon it will look good on you!!! Wait a minute....maybe if you keep eating those big mommas, the mercury will look after you and there will be one less idiot on the bay.

I've been weighing our Wallios for years and have never weighed a 29" over 9.5 lbs. Maybe the mercury is rising? hehehe

We'll be up in mid-September and hope to get some "normal" eaters. The past two years had us struggling for shore lunches. Matter of fact, last year was the worst... we caught a total of twelve eyes on two consecutive days that totaled 97 pounds!!!

Needless to say, each one was landed, weighed, photographed, and put back. This was much to the demise of the charter boat captain who seemed to attach a thether to us as he followed our trolling paths and kept glassing our secret weapon bait.

Any Wallio from 6 lbs to 9.9 lbs is "Too big for the pan and too small for the wall."


"Tight lines are cool, but I prefer a real soft tip and Fireline."

Eyecatcher,

You are joking, correct. With the focus of both sportfishermen and the MNR to enhance walleye populations in the bay why on earth would you keep a supposedly 11 lb fish to eat?? You deserve mercury poisoning!!!

Boy, it must have been tough, too bad to take it from the gene pool, even though it is past its prime for egg survival.Couldn't kill a big one even for the wall,... I have gone to the replica mounts,...they are great and the fish lives,...for someone else to catch,... try the 18" type , trust me they are better !!
