Quinte Fishing

Team Superdad got out this morning to ply the waters of Hay Bay and environs.....

Rounding Ram Is, the NW wind was 'pushing quite a chop on the water. We decided to troll downwind over at the Church. We started at the weed bed 50 yds east of the ramp and fished past the ramp, when Young William yelled "Fish ON". Sure he had a 14 incher which he promptly released.

A little further, Superdave says "fish ON" - we netted a 17 incher. We trolled westward and I was into a fish. Dad netted a 25 inch pike, that he wanted to try, so that was added to the livewell. A little further Will cries another one, Dad netted a 19 inch- 2.5lb Walleye. No point trolling upwind, so we motored up the ramp and set up again.

We did that three times with a net result of seven walleyes, one pike, a sunfish and a perch. All fish landed with either the Chartreuse or Orange Uzick Spinner and Ripple Worm.

It was quite a morning as the last expedition last Friday netted up one crappie. So our fishing fortunes grew considerably.

Everyone was happy, everyone landed at least one walleye and we have fish for a fish fry, everybody's favourite.

Stay Tuned.

Sounds like the fishing on quite has been great this year. I haven't made it down in quite a few years but will try for a fall trip this year. I am just curious who makes the ripple worm and if you have any favorite colors. I still have a few Uzick Spinners and may give them a try on the Ottawa river.
