This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Quinte today(thur. dec. 08) pics added

Post by Jale »

I am having trouble uploading pics so I will post them tomorrow :( :(

I had convinced myself that I was due for one last trip to Quinte for a day. After watching weather forecasts and planning around my schedule today was the day. On the road at 5:30am, quick stop for timmy's and fuel. I had to pick up my fishing partner for the day in Westport and onward to Quinte. :D :D


Forecasts of 0 wind and a high of -2, things were looking good..too good. I hadn't planned on the 0 wind overnight freezing up everything in sight when we got to Glenora

Large chunks of frozen ice 2 feet x 2 feet frozen into tha launch and no open water in sight :? :? From glenora things looked frozen all the way up Picton bay but thought we would take a drive accross and have a look. Picton bay and cement factory completely froze in...

Next plan was to go back accross the ferry and give the launch at Adulphustown a crack as I remembered seeing there was open water there on the way up.


Fortunately the launch was extremly shallow but no ice in sight :D :D As we were surveying the launch we had the good fortune of witnessing our good friend from Merlands pull up with his tracker in tow. After un hooking the boat he backed down the launch only to watch the Tracker slide off the back of the bunks(frozen) and come within about 2 inches of completely dumping it on the cement pad :wink: :wink: :wink: ..priceless...wish I had the camera out.

We launched with no problems and were off. set out 2 boards and 2 long lines. First board went off within 5 minutes but we never got a look at the fish. 10 minutes later same thing.

Trolled for an hour and long line goes off, when he's reeling that in, a board goes off and I grab it. we ended up with Jim's fat 25 inch walleye and my biggest rainbow ever... 25 inches long and a 17 inch girth :D :D

Trolled until about 3:30 and called it a day. Final totals were we went 6 for 10 and the bonus rainbow

walleye were 24", 25", 26.5", 28"(8 lb), 30"(10.5 lb) and a fat 31 incher that tipped the scales at 12.4 ounces.

Here is the largest one for the day

Way to go Joe!!!

I was waiting to hear this report. In spite of a few hurdles, I love it when a plan comes together.
12.4 ... ssweeeeetttt!!!

Now, I'm gonna need some pics to remind me why I have a 20' boat sitting in my garage, cause that thing is all about Quinte.

Congrats.

Great report and it looked like a nice day.

Today-Friday, we've had a blizzard go thru Kingston and I would presume Quinte too. It's clearing at 1145. Tomorrow is supposed to rain with plus 3. Go get em guys.

Great fishing guys. Sounds like you really earned those fish especially with the launch conditions. Nice bonus with the bow too. :D
