Quinte Fishing

Well, I'm going walleye fishing this Friday and I was hoping to lunch closer to the Gap rather than in Picton where I usually launch.

I have a 17 foot multi species aluminum boat and I am considering using the Prinyers Cove boat launch.

I have never been to the Prinyers Cove boat launch. What kind of experience should I expect to have there? I'm coming from Belleville, is that the best option for launching near the gap or is there somewhere else I should be considering?

I was there two years ago. The launch was good but I don't know about the low water.

It's a long narrow driveway to the launch that I backed down. No place to turn around. There's no parking in the park and there were several signs to stay off the grass.

The shoulders around the park are narrow with ditches. I found a shoulder around the corner that was OK. About 100 yrds to the ramp.

A west wind will blow straight into the ramp.

There was a fee box but I don't remember the amount required.

I have a 16.5 ft aluminum and can shore launch at the east end of Finkles park. You need boots and a 4x4 to be safe.
That might be an option.

I think the left side of Finkles ramp is usable but the dock isn't suitable for tying to. I think you'll need someone in the boat when you launch.

Someone else might be able to give you better info.

Good luck.

Things must have changed there. I was there 3 years ago I believe and everything was perfect. Lots of room and everybody was parked on the grass. If this is the case now that's too bad.

There's something wrong with that rod.
It has a bend in it!!!

Maybe the stay off the grass signs were for the spring??

Thanks for all the info. Sounds like it will work out just fine. I have a buddy, all wheel drive and a pair of rubber boots.

Cheers, Kevin

Launching is $15 dollars, and last I was there, this past summer, there were vehicles parked on grass- I don't recall seeing signs to stay off grass?
