Quinte Fishing

I left Saturday for a three day casino - walleye wader fishing - shore fishing weekend in the 224000 km ford areostar I drive . Derby leaderboard was full of big fish, so theirs fish out there somewhere! Moira was not as rough as 2017 where I had to switch to plan C, D and E!....River was just outside my comfort zone for wading the rivers edges....., didnt want to tie off, or take other safety measures so I shore fished with the locals....good time....caught one small one there, only seen one other smaller one caught, and the odd story of success, plus an inadvertant five pound large mouth or bigger....still out there swimming, just a few nets from the boats which would occaisionally try the mouth.....although at times specially at night boat traffic was slim to none...George st had an open for business sign up, and the washrooms and weigh station were all up and runnin. Picked up at George st ramp in the mornings …. Hard to get the cranks down in the high current but was doable.....tried to post pics but failed, have photo bucket but Im rusty at that too! Did check various spots , and I did visually see fish, and some nice walleye on a stringer, While fishing there, I seen both male and female fish , and using just a jig and tail , caught one more and lost a big one that was foul hooked and wrapped in my line but it all came apart and off she swam...It was right near my wader boot, so Ill count it as catch and release.... although I initially thought theres not much around at least where I was, I now think that the spawn is perhaps?....about in the middle or at the start, at least in the rivers. Van worked good, ready for Brook trout and one more trip to Quinte in my small boat when it warms just a little bit and calms down just a little more!
