Quinte Fishing

Well we headed out Saturday morning for a few hours of trolling... trolling eastward, east of the ferry was okay with the tough winds but trolling back west was very tough..we trolled the area for 2 hours and landed a beauty 6 pounder..we didn't mark ANY suspended fish so we packed up to find new fishing grounds..we went to try the cement plant for an hour with no takers there..marked some fish but nothing big..packed up and headed out again to find new grounds to fish...we trolled the new found area for an hour and marked a LARGE school of BIG walleye..not those 6'-12' perch size walleye..so we started to jig the area..had many miss hits as the fish were jawlocked or some would hit but just hit enough to take the minnow and not the whole bait..so we marked the spots on the GPS..knowing that those big boys would have to become active sooner or later...after 2 hours of jigging we packed up and headed home.

Sunday we went out east of the ferry again to try our luck with the calm water..trolled for an hour without marking ANY suspended fish.. so we decided to hit our area that was loaded with the big boys hoping they were ready to play..started trolling the area..and marked many big suspended fish..an hourish later the right planar board get hit ... out came a nice 10.1 pounder ..our day was made .. with 3 hours to still fish.. we started to wonder how nice it would be to have a picture with 2 fish side by side on the last outting of the season together.. 30 minutes later.. the left planar board got hit..putting a nice fight..out came another 10.3 pounder!..picture time with the 2 beautiesss .. We couldn't ask for a better day..started trolling again...an hour later we had one planar board out and a straight line ..the straight line gets hit with a big bend on the rod..put up a great fight..and out came ANOTHER 10.2 pounder ..we can succesfully say the fish were hitting Right, Left and Center .. we trolled for another hour before calling it a day..within that hour we landed a nice small 3.2 pounder..and then we called it quits for a great last fall outting for such a slow weekend..within the time that every fish was caught we had 1-2 miss hits..so it looked like the fish bite in the school we were in was pretty turned on...we fished shallow 24-26ft of water and noticed a much better fight with all the fish coming from shallow water..and all the big fish were revived to full health in no time. Had a Great Fall season with you Uncle J aka Desi! looking forward to our hardwater season buddy!

Here are the Pictures from Sunday..starts with the first fish of the day and makes its way till the last one of the day..enjoy
