Quinte Fishing

Hi folks - I'm new to your board - and I'm new to Quinte fishing (well not really - it's been 15 or 20 years since I,ve last fished the area) and I was hoping some of you Quinte veterans could give me a bit of information.

I've got some vacation time available the week after thanksgiving (Canadian) - this year Oct 11-16th and I was thinking about planning an outing to the Bay of Quinte with my adult son - in search of some of the infamous Quinte Walleye I've read so much about over the years.

In a typical season is this too early in the fall to expect reasonable fishing/results ?

What approach/method and/or location would most of you suggest would be the best option at that itme of the year ?

I'm on a bit of a budget and was thinking about doing the tenting thing - again that would depend on the weather. Are there any other economical options for the budget minded person (accommodations).

I've got a 1750 Crestliner fishhawk so I can manage some weather on the water.

Thanks very much for any in-site any of you may be able to offer to a newbie.

i have stayed at the twin peaks motel in napanee before... not very far from picton or desseronto to launch from. its not the best but its only like 40 or 50 bucks a night.

as for methods i would say either trolling or jigging are going to be your best bets for big walleye.
