Quinte Fishing

Hi Everybody happy long weekend. Just wondering if anyone has walked out from Huffs lately? Thinking about coming down that way on Sunday and I was curious if there is a lot of snow and slush like some of the other areas in the bay. I was also wondering how the bite has been as I usually fish the west end of the bay. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everybody this weekend be safe.

Bite is off, there is a walkable path but very bumpy

its a lot better now than it was a week ago ! bite is slow iced 2 tonight 1 keeper .

I was out at Huffs friday evening feb 14. got there a bit late and wasn't fully set up at prime time. Another skunk for me.
There are some "kind of firm" snowmobile tracks but also some hellacious drifts with 5 to 10 inches of snow on top of 1/4 inch of ice on top of 4 inches of slush on top of 11 inches of real ice. Fortunately, I went out on XC skis (with my warm boots packed on my sled) and I could skim over all of the crap. With the skis off , my feet were in danger of getting wet ('til I switched to the snowmobile boots) and walking was a slog.

Met a guy in the parking lot who had to borrow a chunk of steel from one of local residents so he could use it as an anchor to winch out his four wheeler which had bogged down in the slush. He told me, "you made a good choice, skis are the way to go".

I didn't do an accurate measurement but my guesstimate is that the "real ice" off huffs was 12 inches thick, down from 16 inches thick a few days ago. The warmer temperatures and current in the Reach are thinning the ice from the bottom.
Be careful and be safe out there

That guy who got his fourwheeler bogged down in the slush could have drilled two holes side by side, loop the winch through the two holes and hook it back on the cable and pull himself out. worked many times for me!

Very slow bite at Huffs. Quite frustrating marked a lot of fish this morning but no takers and a few days ago i was doing very good at Huffs. Most hit and miss year for me so far

We fish Huffs this afternoon to dark. Decided to leave the ATVs and walk out. Seen a couple bikes out there. No top water today. No fish to report either.

I'm planning for a first light bite at Huffs Tuesday morning....should I give it a shot or does someone have a better first light bite suggestion??... been to Quinte twice this year and the skunk followed me both times....just want a couple eaters....any help would be great..

weathers changing the bite gonna heat up next couple days

Amen to this

they gotta eat sometime lol trick is being there when they do lol would be nice if you could fish every day its defiantly a hit or miss season and unfortunately none of us can be at more than one place at one time lol

pickin the spots easiest to walk out . Fish not on fire yet. But work sure is. Board & tape to be done great to fish this time of year great to be working too

Hi all , was Saturday bite was 10am and started good after 3pm have to keep bowes

lol streaming of the game and a flasher. Nice. Now if you could just get room service you would be totally set.
