Quinte Fishing

Just wondering what everyone's PB for LM bass is for the Bay?
Mine was caught in Deseronto, let it go no scale either but think it was around 4 and 1/2 - 5 pounds! heres the picture

and my little brothers, weighed in around 7 pounds! C&R!!!!!!!!!

Caught one a few years back that was 5lbs and cant remember the change. It was a nice fish for sure.

I netted one while scutineering in a tournament it weighed in at 5.85LBS. have caught and released some around 5lbs.

Fished the bay a ton last summer and caught a lot of 4 and changes but couldn`t break the 5lb mark. 4.33, 4.38, 4.85, 4.2,. This fishery is awesome and it wont be long when it rivals Rice lake....if it doesn`t already. IF I recall summer of 2004 the biggest largie come out of quinte out of all the tournies in Ontario at 7.26lbs (correct me if its wrong)
Out of all my years of fishing I always wanted a place on Stony because I just love that lake but the tide is slowly turning as Quinte just keeps producing good fish and lots of them.
What areas do you think is the best place around the bay for largemouth?
I like Hay Bay myself.

Hay Bay, Islands in Belleville and Deseronto holds some nice LM and SM Bass!

I have never really focused on bass at Quinte, with a paltry 3 pd. smallmouth and a slightly smaller largemouth being my only specimens and local personal bests. I have heard of an 8+ pder and believe that bigger are coming, given that there are multiple strong year classes coming up.

When I am back home and interested in bass, I generally gravitate towards some headwaters of assorted rivers flowing into the Bay of Quinte, given my enjoyment of quiet times while fishing.

I am amazed that more guests from the nearby northern border states do not target them, given how healthy this fishery is.

we haven't broke 5 bass fishing, haven't broke 10 pike fishing, and haven't broke 15 walleye fishing.

those are our targets. my best bass fishing is around Mascote Bay

. i cought one just over 6 pounds trolling walleye in picton bay this late summer....... a nice suprize it was ....... and i never trust them hand held weight guages cause i thought it was even bigger *LOL*

caught one 5.48lbs couple of years ago nice fish but still wishing for one of those 7lbers

next year is the year i break six pounds for a bass, and sixteen pounds for a walleye...

AND i'm catching a 50 lbs Muskie outta the Reach...

Ya, thats it.

Steve,
Out of your wish list for 2006 the only one I dont see happening is the Muskie out of the reach. Although ...a few years back while doing some fall trolling in the area I had something on that spooled me and took my planerboard too. I was able to get back the board. I have no ideal what it was but I tried everything to slow it down and I couldnt stop it. so ounever know it coulda been a muskie or it coulda been a big ole tail hooked drum????

i can dream can't I?

Had a Muskie hit my topwater by thompsons pt once and saw it clear as a bell....about 20lbs no monster but a good fish. IT WAS NOT A PIKE. My buddy caught one a few years back near the Belleville bridge through the ice about 10lbs. Not as many as years gone by but there is a few left.
Was trolling on the west side of thompsons with a deep diving crank and something hit me real hard!! Had it on for a minute or so and was watching the line move all over the place and snap gone all I wanted was to have a look at it.
Steve its always nice to dream!!! I do it everyday!!!
