Well, made my way up to Quinte again, surprised my wife hasn't left me... a 3.5 hour trip from Niagara turned into 4.5 due to poor road conditions...and instead of being set up and fishing for first light, we found ourselves just getting set up on Long Reach at 715. Set up at the bottom of the break in 30 FOW. As we were finishing setting up I told my buddy that I was going to quickly catch a fish while he was finishing getting his rods together. Dropped down my 1/2 oz gold buckshot tipped with a single chub. Dusted the bottom, lifted it up and marked a fish. Jigged it up and fish on, minutes into the trip. Landed her, a beauty just over 4lbs. This was going to be a good day.... proceeded to mark a lot of fish right until 1000, but only hooked (and lost) 1 more. Around noon my buddy said he was "marking a good one", followed by, "got him." I stood by and helped him land a beauty eye, just over 8 lbs. A couple quick flicks and back she went. Afternoon bite was slow, right until about 445. The fish came in waves, and between the two of us we marked and played approximately 20 fish. Lots of fun, but they would not commit. Small presentation, big presentation, head, full chub, two chubs, glow, flash, body baits, ...WTF?! Finally just before dark hooked and landed a 2 lb eater. Great way to finish the day. Ended up 5/6, so slow, but just enough to draw me back for one more trip.
