QUINTY REPORT OCT.23/04
Had a good day on the bay
My brother Dave and I left my place about 5:30am , Stopped at Tims on the 401 to fill my thermos After missing two turns to Quinte (sound familar John)on the 401, I turned around and headed east on the 401 got off on county road 4 to Millhaven ...arrived at the Launch about a hour later I had My brother drive the boat off the trailer ,remmber that new prop...well now it's a old prop (bent a blade)....we had trouble getting the Ninty to idle so we motored out using the kicker....we started to set up as soon as we hit 100 feet of water, the first out, were the planner boards, I ran them out about 125 feet , the first board we ran a DR. death 135 feet back, the second board I ran a chrome Manns +20 back about 105 feet, the next to get set, were the Down riggers...First one I put down 25 feet and ran a Firetiger J-13 100 feet of the ball, the next rigger I set for 35 feet down and 140 feet off the ball....now in about 113 feet of water heading east towards the stacks ...the first release came about 10:30 am(off the planner board ,DR. Death) I handed the rod off to Dave...after a short none battle , Daves first Quinte Walleye was in the Net A fat 26 incher NO SKUNK TODAY
The next release(off the planner board Chrome +20) came a few mins later... I had the rod, again no fight
this was a small 22 incher
About 1/2 hour later the next release came as I was bringing in the line to change up the baits...a small 6 Lbs Sheepshead...No photo
We made the turn and headed back towards the Ferry, when the next release came I had the rod again(rod hog )after a some what of a fight the third Walleye was in the net(off the board , DR.DEATH)this fish had all three sets of hooks in her face It took a bit of time to remove the hooks, get the measurment and weigh her 32 " 9.9 LBS, I torpedoed her in back into the water....forgot to take a pic
about five minuts later The down rigger poped..I handed the rod off to Dave.. a good fight, deep head shakes a small run...and the fourth fish was in the net...Dave has his first double didget Walleye 11 LBS and 33.5 inches long
After that we lost two more beside the boat...both about 25 to 30 inches long we trolled back and forth for a couple more hours .....nothing
Since Dave had his Daughter coming for supper , we packed it in around 3:00pm
I met Xenos out on the water ...he was also having a great day ....I'll let him tell his story There was no sign of Eyetracker or Roughrider ...maybe next time , got the motor purrrrrrring like a kitten now...well except for the prop

I'll be up the weekend after next...in fact I'll be up every weekend till freeze up......weather permittingThat's awesome Phil So you're still .1 of an ounce from the double digit club You going up again before the 26th of November Let me know. I'm gonna be up hopefully every weekend from now until then. Congrats guys on the awesome fish.
Ron my best friend was driving me nuts. “Did you see all those fish on fish Hawkâ€. We have to go to the BOQ. Ok, he convinced me so I called Big O. He told me where to go and what to use. Today was the day. We hit the water and in no time we had a 9.5 lb Walleye then a few of those sheep head all + 8lb I might add, I didn’t see the hits we heard them, the day ended with a personal Best of 29†10.5 Walleye
Thanks Phil. and all the reat of you Hawk Talkers.
