Quinte Fishing

I'm surpised there are no reports from Deseronto,

Until the rain the ice was good with 4-6 inches of solid
ice.

I fished monday night between 4-5. Maybe a dozen
guys out. Saw 2-11 lbers caught 10 feet from me.
Probably a dozen fish were caught in the hour. None
for me.

There were reports that Monday morning was hot with
one group of anglers catching a dozen walleye themselves.

Fished Tuesday morning between 7-11. Another dozen
guys out. I got two 22 inch fish on the ice between 8 and
8:30. In the slot, so I released them. Still felt good to catch
fish. Saw another half dozen fish caught by others.

Fished Wednesday morning between 8:30 and 10. I waited
for my fishing partner at Flying-J from 6:45 til 8. He slept in.
Had one hit but nothing to show. There were many fish on
the ice. Report was they were all caught between 7 and 8.

Did see a Bald Eagle though, highlight of the morning. Cool.

There were at least a couple dozen anglers out Wed morning.

This rain could make this area very dangerous. Take care.

Caught my fish in 24 feet of water on green Hopkins spoon
with 2 minnows. Put Aqua-Vu camera down. The current was
quite strong at the time. Could easily see spoon five feet
away but only with camera lights on. The strong current causes
what appear to be air or silt passing by. Its hard to imagine
how the fish can see a spoon down there. The water cleared up
about 10 feet off the bottom. Didnt see any fish though. All
fish seem to be caught right on bottom. Fish must hone in on
vibrations or flash from lures. It was like fishing in Pea Soup.

Good luck,

GREAT report Batman. Be careful out there with this thaw...
