Was out in Hay Bay Saturday with my cousin the Fatman and another camper at Perfect Vue. Late start to the day, didn't hit the water until 11:30 and were off the water at 15:00. We ended up catching 21, kept 11 and threw back 10 under 12". All were good eaters with the biggest being 17". We got them on bottom bouncers and keel sinkers with spinners. Picture below from Saturday displaying our catch. Sunday was the debut of the Fat Guys Fishing Team in the Quinte Walleye Open. Me (Just Fat) Bob (Fatman) and Jack (Fatboy) pulled out of Perfect Vue at 5:15 headed for Deseronto. Boat was launched and we were waiting for blast off by 6:15. 7:00 hits, past the dock to check the livewell and make sure all equipment was in order and off we went. We fished all over BOQ and at 12:15 when we stopped for a short bathroom break we only had 1 fish in the livewell...uh oh!! Fished a couple more spots and ended up in the reach for the last 1.5 hours. Managed to boat 10 fish in the last 1.5 hours and weighed in a small bag. Nothing big but felt good to weigh in 3 fish as many teams didn't have any fish or 1 or 2. Had a great time out on the water and met some great guys. Had a good talk with Sheldon Hatch and Gord Schultz, admired their 21 foot Tracker Tundra for a while and headed to the awards ceremonies. Just as we walk up the Fatman's name is called and he went home with a $100 prize pack. It was a great tournament and Kevin we are definitely in for next year!

we caught ours in every water depth from 8 feet to 40 feet

We got 21 on Saturday, 10 of them under 10 inches. Sunday we got 11, 6 of them under 10 inches. Biggest fish we got was 17 inches. fishing all over BOQ. Didn't get any earlier in the week though. Water temps on the weekend were 56-60, earlier in the week it was 49-53. Seems like 55+ is the magic number. We got them on bottom bouncers or keel sinkers with spinners.

I got the 2010 survey in the mail today

When does it update? I changed my status on facebook to see how it works.

how do I make myself show up on there?

check xplornet, I use it at the trailer and it works great

Get a dehydrator. Buy inside round roast when it is on sale. Freeze it partially so it is easy to cut into thin slices. Get the packages for cure etc... at Bass Pro. Apply the cure as directed. Lay out on dehydrator and run for 6-8 hours. My Uncle makes it regularly, a couple of good cures are teriyaki and natural

there are lots of wiring diagrams out there, search for 24v wiring diagram and you should find something there

I see what looks like ponds at 24 and Maple Ave? Am I at the right place? Can someone add GPS coordinates?

I have never fished Crappie before. When do you start fishing for them?

One of the best reports I have ever read, thanks! Was great to follow your adventures.

I got a 29 incher on a chartreuse swedish pimple

I am heading to Quinte this weekend and will be fishing off Huffs Road. Look for flats adjacent to deeper water.

I got married there on Thanksgiving this past year. I did a couple of things that were memorable, got a tattoo at Hart & Huntington and went and fired machine guns at The Gun Store. Might not be for everyone but things I will remember for a long time.

The party I was at had Venison burgers, sausages and filets. Then he did up a big stainless steel bowl of walleye and perch, breaded them and deep fried them along with some fresh Yukon Gold french fries. What a feed!!

Hey all Got out on Quinte on Sunday. Landed my PB through the ice, 29 inches! Bite was slow.

we are going this weeked

we go with fish of a lifetime charters , I just started last year but buddies have been doing ther trip for a number of years.

a goby? I have only seen one and not sure if they get that big

Was a pleasure Doug

I have a trailer at Prefect Vue, I can pick it up and bring it back

what was your total cost of the setup?

Thanks! Yes it has a 500 GPH pump feeding the livewell

So for the last couple of weeks I have been working on redoing the inside of my boat. I stripped everything out of it as you can see from the before pictures. Click on the pictures to see a larger picture. So I added tackle storage (holds 18 stow away boxes), rod box (holds 12 rods), livewell (30x12x12 custom welded aluminum), casting deck and a 24V trolling motor. Here are the after pictures Was a great project, learned a lot!
