Well it’s been a-while since I have done any reports but I have been so busy because of the fishing that’s going on I just have not found the time. Any-way here goes. I’m sure a lot of you have heard about the excellent fishing that has been going on at the Bay of Quinte for the last three months. We have no ice at this time but the gals and guys that didn’t put their boats away and the people that took theirs back out have been having some of the best fishing they have seen in years at the B.O.Q. There are so many places to fish that I’m sure that if you picked your own quite place with water depths from 15 ft and deeper you will have the same results as a lot of the fisher-people have been having. The biggest trick is to let the boat drift and jig your favorite jig heads or spoons. The people that are jigging with the jigging spoons are even catching a few without live bait. (after they run out of minnows) I’m going through ice jigging spoons like crazy. The one spoon I have had to replenish three times and I’m now getting ready to replenish all one hundred again. The colour choices have been in the green and silver families. A lot of fisher-people have had 40 to 70 fish days. Mostly eater size, but there have been some pretty impressive hogs caught lately. You do have to do your homework to find out where they are and if there biting but once you do I’m positive you’re going to have a lot of fun. If you need any help give me a a phone call , email me or stop in and see me and I’ll help to put you onto fish. With the way the fishing is going at this time can you imagine what the ice fishing is going to be like. FANTASTIC. Since I brought up the ice subject I should mention that with the weather reports we are getting we will have ice this season. I’m predicting very soon. I will be keeping all you ice people informed as often as I can. Have a positive attitude and a little patience and we will be ice fishing before you know it. I know it’s hard this year and I can hardly wait to get out there myself but it is going to happen. ( I have to say this to my-self every day just to keep my-self sane.) COME ON ICE Remember have fun, be safe and bring back everything you took with you. Ron

My name is Ron and I own Skevy’s Outdoor Specialities in Belleville Ontario. I specialize in fishing only. I don’t bother with hunting for two reasons. #1- My knowledge for hunting is about zero. I use to hunt years ago but with my 12 month a year addiction to fishing I couldn’t find time to hunt. . #2- There is three other stores in Belleville that cater to hunting and all of them are great at what they do. .I couldn’t compete against these experts if I tried to so why bother. My expertise is fishing. So for the mean time I’ll stick to what I know and love doing. I have fished for over 45 years and I’m still open minded enough to listen and learn from others, this I believe is half the fun. Fishing is not a passion but an ADDICTION to me. I MUST fish 12 months a year. This is the only way that I can come up with to show you how serious I am about fishing. Trolling, ice fishing, jigging, down rigging, fly-fishing, float fishing(centre pin reels) , bottom bouncing , casting , flipping and pitching , I love doing it all. I have been open for 1 year and 9 months now and my stock for walleye and bass fishing is growing quite big. My stock for all other species is growing very nicely. The locals that get around tell me that I have the best selection in and around the area. I’m involved in a deal at this time that when it goes together my store will be jammed with everything that attributes to fishing. My fly-fishing has taken off. I have been working with the Canadian Fly Fisher magazine and we have done a lot of hard work and now I’m the biggest from Oshawa all the way to Ottawa. I now have a fly club that is growing very rapidly. When the gals and guys approached me about starting a club I told them that this was fine with me but there are going to be two rules. #1- there will be no club fees to pay , this way I don’t have to have a board to account for money. Secondly I don’t want to sit around and only tie flies and talk about it I want to go out and fish also. (They agreed.) We meet every second week on Wednesday night at the store one week we tie flies and tell fish stories and the second week we go out to fish. Since they put me in charge of the outings I have made sure that we fish different waters and for different spices. We fish for all spices . Muskey , pike , walleye , bass , trout , pan fish , any and all. Lastly I should mention that I have the best guides working with me in the area for all species and I also guide my-self. So if your interested don’t hesitate to call, we will put you on fish. My Store # is 613-969-1035 My full intentions are to give you all fishing reports and others on a continued basis. The last time I went onto a new board I had a lot of inquiries of who , what , where and why , so hopefully this intro will answer all of your questions. Best to all ………..Ron
