BOQ report Dec 8 - 17 for 18 with a 15 lb 7 oz fish
Had a great day fishing on Tuesday with Maverick, Jeff C and Jeff's Dad. I think everyone, including myself set a PB.
We launched out of Picton at 7:30am and headed to water that had been holding fish. No other boats around when we setup which was a nice change from November. It wasn't long after setting up when a rod fired and not long after that when another one fired. Thought it was going to be a good day and sure enough it was. Stayed in a fairly tight area and the fish stayed until we left at 1:30.
I rarely take my camera, but this time I made a point as with the weather coming in I thought it might be my last outing of the year and I wanted a few pics for marketing this winter. WOW!!! Did we ever get some pics. Best part is I got every fish on video. Pretty shaky filming by got it all on tape. I'm going to edit it and post that on here as well once it is done.
All in all had lines in the water for about 5 hours and finished 17 for 18. Including 3 double headers.
Here is the kicker. I forgot my scale . But we took the length and girth of the biggest fish that was released. The second biggest fish Maverick kept as a wall hanger as I thought it had to go over 14lbs and that was his mark to put one on the wall. Anyway, when Maverick got home he weighted the one he kept and it went 14 lbs 15 oz. We then used the length and girth to estimate the big fish weight.
Biggest fish was 15 lbs 7 oz (using length and girth calculator) with a length of 33.75" and a girth of 22.5" (I will confirm that with maverick)
Second biggest was 14 lbs 15 oz. wieghed. with a length of 32.5" and a girth of 21" (i'm pretty sure that is accurate but again have to confirm with maverick)
Had a few more over 13lbs and most were over 10lbs.
Thanks to Jeff C for the tip on the spot, and thanks to Maverick for boating a 15lb 7oz fish!! Great outing to put the boat away on.
Jeff get them pics up.

Scott, again thanks for sharing such a great morning with us! Getting out with friends is always fun, but having it all come together with so many quality fish is surely the icing on the cake. A couple of those fish from today will be ones that we will talk about for many years. Thanks again!
Enjoy the eye candy...

Now that's what Quinte has to offer!
I'm actually happy the fishing stunk so bad all thru October and November....maybe it'll keep the crowds at bay for awhile....(and no I don't consider jigging up resident nursery fish out of 35-50 FOW good fishing)
The late fall weather REALLY held the fish back this year....
I can't wait to see Steve-Hamilton's report from this week....I have a feeling it will blow everything we've seen this year so far out of the water!
Good fishin fellas!
