Quinte Fishing

Spent a couple of hours on Thursday afternoon trying to catch the millions of marks at Thompson's, but no takers. On Friday we worked the Reach from Keith's Shoal to 4 miles past the lighthouse. We went 6 for 6 ranging from 8.5 to 10.9; all but one came from riggers set from 47 ft to 75ft down, lures 50 to 75 ft back. Saturday was tough, just two fish, again on riggers set very deep (where the marks were). Sunday the wind was howling in the morning and lots of boats left and went home. The wind dropped off late in the morning and we went 4 for 6. Again, 5 of those came from riggers set very deep. The fish were concentrated in depths from 60 to 120 ft, not good fishing water for walleyes. We took a LOT of time retrieving fish and had no problems with swim bladders - they all went straight back down with no trouble. Quite a tough few days and I hope all those marks are feeding when I get back in a couple of weeks. If they are, my arms will be sore! Good fishing!

Right on with tghe number of marks on the graph.

If they ever start biting everyone will fill the boats.

There sure are a lot of marks everywhere.

Hope to see you at the 'Tip' on the 25th.

Hi David:

I hope to be there from the 24th through the Sunday. Cheers, Neil.

Hey was wonderin where thompson is and whats everyone using??crankbaits or what??thanx for any help

It is the SW tip of Hay Bay where it joins the main channel. Deseronto is to the right, Picton straight ahead past the Cement Plant and the Glenora Ferry to the left. We were using deep crankbaits from boards and shallow crankbaits from the riggers. Good luck!

Hey so if i launch at picton and go straight out do u mean the channel there where it gets really deep and the ferry thing is there??thanx

The channel runs from deseronto south past and including the ferry. When you head from picton as you head out the cement plant will be on your left. You will get to the channel about a mile past the cement plant.The ferry will be on your right side...larry
