Quinte Fishing

Saturday, Dec 16,2006 will be carved into my psyche forever...

It was the BEST day of Walleye Fishing that I have ever encountered - Bar none.

Was out to fish with Steve Hamilton and Jackson Brawn on Steve's boat on Adolphus Reach from 1100 - 1645.

Before we got all the lines out for the first pass, the outside board went off and we had the first fish of the day, five minutes after starting.

The fish was landed and released and away we went again.

To summarize the day as it would be a long post and most of the details are vague and fading fast. It's tough to keep track of the sizes and weights without writing them down.

We totaled 13 fish in the five hours, including 9 double digits - A PB for Steve of 14.25 lbs and the first ever for me - a TRIPLE HEADER....

Here are a few of the Pix from my Camera.





And my Fishing companions:



I cannot express my thanks to Steve and Jackson for taking me out with them allowing me the chance to fish with them - Real Gentlemen and Real Fishers.

We were fishing east of the ferry, but short of the Keith Shoal buoy, in 75-85 feet of water. We landed eight on Reef Runner(deep)- Purple Demon, a couple on TailDancers TDD11(Clown) and one on a Purple Demon Ripstick. We ran six lines and never had a tangle - good boating and landing skills.

I would suspect that this will be the last trip on the water this year, BUT never say Never......

The outlook for hard water fishing at this writing is to say the least slim, but you can never tell about the weather.

One of the posters today spoke of not going because they had predicted high winds - that never happened.

The weather near the ferry was enjoyable and sunny most of the day, while in Kingston, 45 kms away it was grey and cloudy almost all day.

Thanks again to Steve and Jackson - we must do it again some time next December??????

i fished for eight days staight, and lemme tell you, the last day, out with you, was BY FAR my favorite day of the trip.

It was amazing.

(howz your arms after reeling in TEN (10) walleye in a row )

Awesome post and super fish Superdad. Congrats to Steve on his PB.
Saturday was definitely a hot day and one to remember. Hopefully others did just as well. Can't wait for this Saturday.

thats what I call fishing.Congrats guys, well done.

I called my brother a week ago and told him to get his butt up here with his boat but he said he had it put away. So I said I guess you didn't hear me , get you and your boat up here, but to no avail. Wait till I show him these pics next time he stops into the store.....Serves him right.

AWSOME David
Great pics Good to see you guys did well. A great way to end the season !!!
maybe ??
We did well in the trent as well !! What a day.

Excellent job guys!!! Weather just changed for next weekend so it looks like Saturday may be too windy for the ol' 15 foot Legend....Anybody think it's wrong to cancel my family's X-mas eve party to go fishing???

Release 'em today, Catch 'em tomorrow

Job well done! Makes me proud to refer to you as my fishing mentor! Awesome day. Congrats all 'round! Makes me think we put our boat away too early ... Too many choices here: deer, geese, duck hunting or fishing bayboy

Gee, ya think? Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!! I'm heading out on Thursday with any luck. Nice to have choices, but ..... DID YOU SEE THOSE PHOTOS?!

Should you people not be out Christmas shopping for your loved ones instead of fishing? If your out fishing this time of year you must be either single, divorced, retired or unemployed.

no sir. none of the four.

Stanley20footer,
You need to get out there yourself. Once you do... well all I can say is welcome to the darkside

Retired is mine.

Being a wise man, I've got all the shopping done and wrapped and all household duties put on hold for one day. Then the ability to fish is easier to achieve.

Maybe our wives just like us more than yours does?

Or maybe, just maybe, some are a little more organized than yourself?

BTW Gonna be on the water this Saturday, December 23rd. That must really piss you off!

Supe, nice pics. Merry Xmas my friend.
