Quinte catch and possesion limit??

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 catch and possesion limit??

Post by dh99 »

I am heading to Quinte this weekend and according to the regulation book I am only allowed to keep 4 eyes total.

-none between 48cm-63 cm
-1 above 63 cm, not that I would I personally find the smaller one better
- total of 4

So the hard part is catching a keeper for the pan that is smaller than 48 cm.

Did I understand the regulation properly??

Thanks

Hi dh

The slot was removed back in May 2006 (which of cource didn't make the printed regs)


TORONTO — As the walleye season opens on May 7, the Ontario government is eliminating the lower size limit for walleye in the Bay of Quinte and eastern Lake Ontario, Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay announced today.

"We have determined that the existing size limits haven’t had a significant beneficial impact on the walleye population in the Bay of Quinte, but have had a negative impact on the economies of local communities," said Ramsay. "Removing the slot size regulation will increase angling opportunities without adversely affecting the numbers of larger fish."

Under the regulation change, anglers will now be able to keep walleye that are up to 63 centimetres long in parts of Lake Ontario, including the Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward County. For all of Lake Ontario, the walleye catch and possession limit is four fish under a sport fishing licence, and two fish under a conservation licence. For both types of licence, anglers are also allowed to keep one walleye greater than 63 centimetres long.

As the season rolls on and the water cools even more, it will actually be harder to get fish under 25inch.

Hey Denis long time no talk :shock: As Dartee mentioned they did change the regs back in May 2005.I remember being at merland Park when they told us :wink:. Hard to believe you can have issues with the fish being too big :lol:

Good to hear from you again .

Hey Ron

I have been pretty busy with a new job and I am on the road all the time, hence no time for internet fishing sites:(

My buddy wants to bring some back, personnaly I eat enough from the local lake I fish so I don't plan on bringing any back.

Let you know how I do

going to bed now
