Time2Fish Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, Gonna take the day off and head for quinte on Monday. Usually when we have come up, we turn it into 2 or 3 days and have stayed at blakewood on the south shore of Hay Bay. Coming from the west, not exactly sure where to launch the boat. I am sure if I exit on #49 head south to Picton I will find one in town. DOes anyone have some info they could share...location, cost, good ramp etc? Planning on trolling or jigging around Thompsons and Shermans point as well as near the ferry. Thanks in advance.

Mike the Pike Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your best bet would be Picton Harbour launch get ther early as parking can be scarce by far the nicest launch. I think there is another launch down the road from picton Harbour called Mcfarlens its free but you will need a 4 X 4 . There is another launch take the ferry across from the Picton side and launch once you exit the ferry. Have a safe trip. MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimace Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Picton Harbour is a nice launch. Good access point for your areas of choice. Like Mike the Pike said parking can get scarce if you get there too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Fish Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 thanks guys, parking could be dicey as I am leaving from Cambridge in the morning... Should be as busy on a monday should it. Also, looks like the bite is starting up a little. I was there 2 weeks ago...marked all kinds, didn't catch much. any input?

Headhunter Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Re marking fish and not catchin... do you know what your marking? Are you sure your marking eyes? If yer marking and not catchin, your either not deep enough, or too deep. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 If you've stayed on Hay Bay and know the area you could easily drive down to north shore of Glenora Ferry. Check out a map and see the ferry route from Picton across the north shore. Nice sheltered launch, restrooms and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 A good tip, if your going Nov.,Dec. carry a bag of salt for the ramps. Watch your tail lights,transducer,speedo,prop backing in if theres ice at the ramps. Tilt your motor back down after you come out of the water to drain, pull drain plug. Think about the freezing damage. Nice thing about all the ramps, there free. Would be nice if other municipalities would take the hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I approached a councilor trying to get you guys a grate or something so you don't have to risk getting caught salting the ramp and his first reaction was lets close the ramp. Maybe I'll have to try again and see if we can get you something built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacey Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I've read on the Quinte Fishing Forum, some are getting huge sheep head. One was over 20lbs! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Fish Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks again all. The advice should get the boat in the water one way or another. Looks like rain for monday, oh well, that is why I bought the topset... Thanks guys, keep your lines wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
