I have to learn how to jig Dave as I have never been good at it.

Do you use minnows or just good old plastic grubs?

Good luck to you next week.

Lookin Good Jacques I like the white diamond touch with the signature.

So when are you quitting your job.

MTP

I say you must buy the Minnekota.

By purchasing a new home your new boat purchase has been delayed therefore you must put new toys on the old boat.

Wifey got a new home and you need a new motor now this is fair.

This is hard for me as I met Sonny a few times and what a great guy who loved fishing to the fullest.

Tears have filled my eyes.

I first met Sonny 3 yrs ago along with Bernadette in the Bay of Quinte.Every year in Quinte Sonny and I would call each other on the water via cell phone and VHF .I will sadly miss this man so much.I can tell you for those who did not know him he was a gentleman that I will never forget.

My deepest Symphathies to Bernadette ,Steve and your family.

Here are some pix of Sonny doing what he loved alot fishing.

In this photo Percher,MTP,Bernadette,Fred and Sonny.

Very nice footballs

Mike,

I wouldnt concern myself over a hat Bud.....(yer suthrn''bama bud mite hav a wrd ér2 but..)

Congrats on the 15lbs... Dont which one I like better the 7 or the 8lb'r..

Mike, I dont know many bay folk using downriggers, perhaps with the bite being as light as it is maybe thats why your not hitting the double digits as often..just a thought.

I realize you cant feel the bite anyway and usually just drown them dragging them along but with one less item between the rod and the big ticket maybe is all thats needed.

I thought the G2G was last weekend and was out at Picton successfully then, this past weekend I did the 'Lunge thing locally.

 

It looks like another successful bay outing for you...WTG.

Your here enough,...you'll figure it out.

Hey Brick,I can tell you that using riggers works well in the Bay .last year some us used them to land some nice eyes.None of us go below 30ft.

I myself was often above 25ft.You should try it .spoons work well off the riggers.I landed 2 out of 3 fish this weekend coming off the riggers.

In Hay bay I am certain I had a nice pike on but he bit off the floro carbon leader.

This is my 5th year fishing in November.When the bite is off one must try new methods.Nothing wrong with riggers my friend just have to be walleye friendly .Avoid going deeper than 30ft so one does not inflate the swim bladder.

Until next year.

This year was a tough one.

I arrived in the Bay of Quinte Thursday in High hopes of catching another Double Digit which did not happen again this year.

Many will tell you the Wall-ice had some lock jaw problems this week.

GlennK and I did manage to land a few eyes but not the numbers and size we were seeking.

Once again I managed to lure a slimey Sheepy around 5lbs .I have to keep up the sheepy reputation I guess.

Glenn and I stayed at the Sportsman Motel along with our good friend The Rumbler DouG.

Also at the Sportsman was Percher,Memart and Slowpoke.

Doug fished with memart,while Slowpoke and Percher roamed the bay.

I know Percher has something he should share but we will leave that up to him.

Perhaps Lexxington will show you what he was up to.

First off I must say I had some good Laughs with DouG always a pleasure to see you DouG.

GlennK and I want to thank you for your lovely gifts a pair of....

Thanks again Doug these plugs reduced the Rumble during the night.

You are one hell of a snoring freight train Doogles.

Ok On with the pics.

After a frustrating day and have already landed the sheepy.

Finally a fish on.

Around 4:30pm Thursday I had my down Rigger trolling below at 22ft using a purple Quick Silver spoon.

I decide to pull up the line to switch baits.When the rod released from the rigger clip I reeled about 10 times and bang

fish on.An 8lb pound Walleye.

Sorry for the Elmer Fud look. although Glenn has improved with the camera he should of told me

my shimano hat was crooked and I looked like a total goofball.

My fishing partner for the weekend GlennK hoping to catch his first eye of the weekend.

And the man finally gets one a 5 1/2 pounder.Caught off a plainer board on a Manns watermelon.

We were fishing in 120ft of water

Just a wee 7 pounder.She was caught off the planer board with a pink clown coloured deep diving tale dancer in 137 feet of water.

Dan said I could add this one a 13 pounder

Well ya all know this sweet lady and Our very own Mod Man Roy.

Dinner at JJ'S Texas Grill on Main street in Picton.

I highly recommend this restaurant very good steak cooked to perfection.

Good food good company.Darn Rob you closed your eyes.

From left to right Paul(Tybo)Joey,Roy,DouG,Memart,2nd row Slowpoke and Lexxington.

Ah take 2 and Memart has his eyes open.

Since the fishing had been slow Glenn and I wanted to try one more time fishing until 11am this morning.Sunday

At 5:30am this morning we awoke to fog as thick as pea soup.

We wanted to get out despite having a GPS Glenn and I both agreed to go straight home.

Too dangerous to be out there.

With the amount of boats already on there way to the launch we played safe.

Downtown Picton.

This is a pic from the bridge over the Telegraph narrows normally you would see the water from up top.

Picton Harbour had so much fog we could not see the water when we drove by.

I hope to hear Joey,Paul and Roy caught some eyes today.

Or perhaps lexxington.

looking forward to the others reports.

Looking forward to next year in the BOQ.

Time to put the boat away.

MTP

Well thanks Brian !Perhaps we will see you next year.

Ok I better go to bed I am getting up at 3:30am Lew oclock.

Blast off time is 4am

I will be back in 4 days.

MTP

Happy Birthday Rick I just turned 44 Oct 28th.Yes TJ 44 is not so bad.

I was looking at the Helly Hansen also but I did find them heavier and more difficult to move in.

I bought the pricey Mustang Integrity also worst mistake I ever made was buying a yellow suit.

It is a comfortable suit.When you walk a far distance in the winter you will find out quickly how warm these suits are.

The board members have come up with many names for me ever since.

We expect many fishing reports now that you will be safer.

MTP

3 more sleeps .If I can't sleep.Almost all my gear is ready to go. No GCD this November sure is going to be quiet.

That was very nice Terry thanks for posting.

Wish all our boys could come home right now.

MTP

Ah you can keep that snow.

Its BOQ season right now and thats all I can think about going to the BOQ Thursday.

I get my replacement hooks at Le Baron Roy they have a great selection of Mustads in many sizes sold in bulk.

The store is located on St.Laurent just south of HWY 40.

Mike

I think fishing in Memarts boat is much more dryer and warmer.

I went hunting ten yrs ago .Not for me.I do like eating the wild game from friends who are successful at it though.

If only we could fish for 12 months of the year.

I know its coming Brian then you can show us all

Oh no we are bunking with a whino.Who snores like a rhino.

Very hard for you after all those yrs we have a 16 yr old cat who love very much.

Sorry for your loss!!

I came home tonight from a 2 day road trip and my kids have been feeding a young stray kitten at our door step.

Wish I could keep the young tabby but our old girl will not accept any new cats in our house.

MTP

You are such a teeze Lloyd.I won't sleep for the next 7 nights.

Nice batch of footballs Justin.thanks for sharing.

Wow Ben some healthy fish there.

Beautiful Pike too.

Please note my Southern Friend from Bama.Ben captures those fine species using a boat with a Tiller for its main engine

THis report made me hungry.Oh that Garage needs a cleaning though

Well i guess you got the list up Wayne. if anyone wants to know fishing was good this weekend.

Yes lets hear the details Lloyd.

Yes Mike go for it they work very well.

I had a Piranha 4 it was a great unit until I flipped my 12 foot tinny and it took a bath.

I tried it alond side my old 18 foot tinny it was bang on for depth the exact same reading from a friends boat right beside us.

As for the suction cup it sticks very well to your Thornes tinny I would know that because I did have the same boat as you.

Just put it on the wish list.
