Junior's Rod Was On Fire (Bay Of Quinte)

[Mike the Pike]

It was that time of year to meet up with Cousin Percher for my 2nd year in July Somewhere in the Bay of Quinte.

 

I began the trip with a Saturday 2:15am alarm clock buzzing awakening

Hitting the snooze button until 2:53am.Finally dragged my old butt out of bed and proceeded to

wake myself up and then my 9 year old son Ryan.

 

We left our place in St-Hubert Quebec at 3:27am first stop off the 401 was the Shell station and Timmies in Cornwall Ontario.

 

We left the outrages gas prices in Quebec behind ($144.9)and gladly paid the $1.28 in Cornwall top off the boat and filled up the Minivan

$138 bucks later (OUCH )

Arrived early in the Boq and met up with Fishin Devil and his family later.

Well enough of the Bla Bla Bla and on with the pics.

 

Launched the fishin machine and proceeded to fish out five mins.and fish on it was a nice one until fish off

 

That spot shut down.

 

Junior wanted to try out steering the trolling motor so I let him wind the 2hp up to 4.7mph while he steered the kicker via

the T-bar from the main motor.Time will come when he can drive the big motor.! minute of that was enough a screaming 2hp

is not relaxing.

 

New spot and I am Happy but this was my only Eye of the weekend out of the 6hrs we fished.

 

Junior was just getting warmed up.

 

 

Luckily we got our limit thanks to Junior but we threw one back to swim another Day we got out in the evening and Junior gets a better fish

to complete our limit of 4 I did get one of those

 

Around 9pm Fishin Devil and myself headed in just before the big storm came in so we missed out on the night bite.

In the very little time we had to fish this weekend my son caught 8 Walleyes to my 1 eventhough some dinkers were sent back to swim another day.

Now Sunday I ended up with this guy and believe me my boy reminded me all the way down the 401

until we got home after a 4 hour drive.He reminded Mom that she will be eating fish because of him not Dad.

 

It was time to go home I wanted to stay but have to work Monday.

I didn't do so well but my boy was long overdue after many outings he was just picking up some pan fish.

 

He was due for a great weekend I was very happy for him and very proud of him.

 

Had a great weekend with family Percher and wife Sue.

 

Good to see you again Sean(Fishin Devil and nice to meet your family.

 

I will be back and the Skunk will go away .

 

I hope you enjoyed our july Bay Of Quinte report.

Nice report Mike!

Ya know, it's okay for the Captain to catch a few as well. Try putting a line in the water!

Best way to keep the kids engaged is to let them out fish you. You did let them right??

 

Great report, the smile on your son's face says it all (beat you dad!!)
