kingjames_2nd Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'd like to go down to the bay of quinte and try my hand at ice fishing. My problem i that I have never been so i dont know where to go, any access points, bait shops etc. Short of telling me your secret hot spots, can you offer any information as to where I can park? Where can I get bait? any popular shoals etc? also, Can you tell me if the ice is strong enough to support us yet or when it hopefully will be? finally, I am hoping to stay close to brighton if possible. Thanks! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondorfish Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hello - I don't think Brighton is actually part of the Bay of Quinte - so I figure that you mean Trenton. Give Sam a call at Carra's - he'll set you up: http://www.carraoutdoors.com/monthly_specials.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishindevil Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Well you should check in with sam,for sure...the bay of quinte is a very big body of water ,and the ice can vary greatly !!! from area to area,...so you should maybe go with a place that rents out huts for the day,as the operators will know where the safe ice is,and also where the fish are so sam can point you in the right direction !!! so good-luck & be safe out there....cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCHER Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I second Fishindevils reply.When its early in the season and ice is not that great yet go with the guys that know the area.Hut operators are the best way to go for first timers.Like others have said give Sam at Carra a call. Be safe and be back to enjoy another time. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramble Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I live in Belleville. It's been warm and we had a lot of rain last week which really put a hurt on the ice. Definatly check with someone who knows befre you head out, and dont go alone. If i were you i'd wait forsome more cold weather...or else you may be needing some water wings! -Ramble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhedrmatt Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Checked out Trenton @ the mouth of the river yesterday afternoon, no fish, and pretty sketchy ice. Only 4" off the park on the east side. I didn't venture out much farther than that. with the current there, I dont imagine there will be much more than that. There is a hut in between the channel markers though. I would wait a while before going there. BE SAFE!! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIMAL Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I heard there is 6-8'' right across hay bay, but have not been there so I cant confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
