wolfmachine Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 me and my boys are spending our yearly trip at my friends cottage on thompson point. fishing for us is usually slow because i'm the only guy that actually takes it seriously lol i know summer walleye go deep.. so i have the following things to bring with me 2x okuma line counter reels on trolling rods 2x inline planer boards bunch of different deep diving reef runners and rap tail dancers amongst other things(pike gear) should i pick up some worm harnesses and try some back trolling? i'm limited to equipment because my buddies are walleye illiterate. i really want to get some walleyes in the boat this year to cook a nice shore lunch for my friends. are there any colors that work best? i'm thinking of trolling around the glenora fairy/adolphus reach/ bass cove area in the deep water. maybe even try over by the cement factory, or shermans point and that island thats close to hay bay the boat we have up there doesn't have a graph so i'm just going by where i have seen superdad fishing up there before. pm's are welcome.

PERCHER Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I would try weed lines or even in the weeds.I have caught walleye on Quinte in 7ft of water in weed beds in the middle of the day.On sunny warm days they like to hide in the weeds.

Joeytier Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Deep trolling can be successful, but I strongly suggest finding some weedbeds in shallower water (10-18 ft) and rip bucktails, jig/minnow and cast crankbaits along the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizfun Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 We've had good success during this period in Hay Bay area in 7-12 feet of water fishing weedlines.. We will be there just after the May long weekend looking for some keepers for a nice shore lunch.. Tiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassdreamer Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 The best colours that work for me are lures that are black and silver and or pearl.Try the weedlines from macfarland launch to the ferry .Cast toward the weedline and retreive very slow!!!

superdad Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wolfman Staying at Thompsons Pt, you're right beside some of the best water in BOQ. The little cove, east of Thompsons is GREAT... Troll the weed lines with spinners and worms, start shallow and work your way out, they're there... The other side of Thompsons is Mallory Bay, another good place where the weeds have changed dramatically, It might be too early for Mallory, but you can always try. Read this board and quintefishingcom for up to date reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew3 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Try using a slip sinker and a BIG minnow on a small salmon hook, about a six foot lead. Just drift it along the bottem with your bail open. When you get a hit give it line and when you think it is good flip the bail and give it a hit. Use in Mallory Bay or over by Sherman Point. Just another thing to try. Good luck.
