Quinte Fishing

Only boat out at the Cdn. side of Ducks all day.
Left at 6am, in the heavy fog, took much longer, even with radar, to slowly get out there.

But Lakers started hitting soon and we were marking big fish and massive bait balls everywhere.

Heavy fog never cleared.

5 lakers on riggers at 100ft, plus one on dipsy, all released. Even a crazy double where they crossed and had to retrieve 2 all tangled.

Started at noon, to pull up riggers and put away everything.

Last thing in was a dipsy, that then hit really hard and was giving big shakes, pulls, and runs.....made no sense for a deep laker ???

In closer to the boat, could see it was a nice salmon.
Landed it, quick bonk on the head.

Time for a photo, head home, and warm up the BBQ.

Nice chinook, King: 17+ lbs, 34 inches.

Super random fish. It should not be there until middle of July. Just lucky.

Nice to hear...congrats !
Any big ships cruising by ? Fog can be dangerous for sure...

No big ships, freighters, which was a surprise, because we frequently have to move out of the north side shipping channel in the past.

Had radar on the whole time.

Did see big red "blob" go by on the USA side of Ducks following that channel.
