Quinte Fishing

Well down for a few days to fish the bay and what a few days it was. Well one day anyway as we didnt get out on Friday with the high wind and rain we thought we would just hold off so we spent the day with my good friend Coors Light!! Saturday morning me, my dad and my wife launched at the Hay bay launch bright and early 6:45 am. Hit willow point right off the bat for some topwater action. We caught 12 fish between the 3 of us in an hour and 15 minutes all on topwater with the biggest 4 lbs. At 8am sharp I had a big hit on my torpedo so I set the hook and jerked it out of his mouth, the lure came flying back and hit me right in the forarm. There it is past the barb and stuck in my arm. We tried to get it out with the fillet knife but no luck. So my wife and I head off to Napanee hospital for some minor surgery. All is well and the doctor removes the hook with no problem. While I'm in the hospital some poor gentelman gets rushed in who had a heartattack on the water this morning, things didnt look good when we left but I do hope things turned out ok for him and his family. Back on the water by 10 and we decide to go over to shermans point to check things out. We start drift jigging at buoy Q8 for the next 2 hours just drifting out then back to the buoy and drifting out again.We boated 9 walleye between 15-19 inches. I was the lucky one as I caught all 9. I was using an 1/4 ounce rattlin jighead tipped with a leech I couldnt keep them off. My dad was using the same jig but tipped with worm and all he caught was 3 sheepshead. My wife was using the same size jighead but different colour tipped with a plastic grub and she never got a hit. Leeches were hot today, not sure if many people use them on the bay as I havent read much on this board about them. We also were checked by the police today for all the usual stuff.

Good report - glad to hear that some fish are being caught at Hay Bay.

We'll be back after the first of August.
