It would suitable for most of Quinte, except the deepwater trolling stretches closer to the main lake.
Main body of any great lake is a whole other story...wouldn't even consider it.
Great tale. I'd like to try and hook up with some smallies on the ice before they close December 30th. Monsters like those would be a blast on the short rod.
Stayed there a couple autumns ago. Very nice owners, but not sure what their winter operation is like.
Their resort is about 15-20 mins up the S. River btw.
I've done very well with the ripple shads up here as well. Paddle tails in general seem to work exceptionally well for walleye. Never saw the need for the trailer, mind you I'm usually running the 3"
If you're really concerned about your body being a test pit for a plethora of toxins, you should consider tending a good garden and getting good with a rifle.
Tough to beat this basic design for tip-ups, but the electronic gadgetry I can (and will) do without.
The wooden tip-ups are still the best for the shallow stuff
AWESOME! I'm still hoping to be out first week of Dec., but it's looking less and less likely. I've seen skims of ice come and go for a while now, but not looking like any cold snaps coming any time soon.
