Aaron Shirley Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I fished for 3 days on the Bay of Quinte in the reach trolling for walleye with TonyB and the Bunkster (Bunk joined us for 2 days). It was a great time with our group of Buddies, lots of fish, food, fish fry, wings, cold beer, laughs and great company, on and off the water. Tony and I had a tough day Thursday, and eliminated a bunch of unproductive water in pretty rough seas, not to mention cold! We ended up with a handful of fish and a place to start for Friday. We didn`t get a start until 11:30am. Bunk joined us Friday and we had a better day, but still a bit slow while we were in search mode. We slowly got into our Quinte groove and by the end of the day we figured out a productive pattern. It was really rough and cold on Friday as well. We got a bit of an earlier start at about 9:30am. Saturday was THE day for us. No messing around, as the weather was awesome! We got a start at daybreak and executed our program on productive water right away. It was non-stop action throughout the day, and we all worked well as a team. The tally for the day was 36 bites. I believe 14 walleye in the boat, 5 lost, a white bass and the rest drum... including a tank of a drum that I caught at 27.5 pounds! It was a memorable day on the water with great company. Bunk got a PB walleye at 11.25 pounds, and I got a PB sheepie at 27.5 pounds A bunch of double headers and a triple header throughout the day made things interesting as well. Riggers and Dipsys were cold for us, it was all boards with braid and 3 & 5 leadcore with a variety of diving stickbaits and a green Mooselook spoon. Typical sppeds between 1.7 to 2.1mph worked well. Thanks for the awesome weekend boys! No shortage of photos from different angles of the adventure weekend, enjoy. Good fishing!

solopaddler Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 MEH, personally I don't see the attraction of reeling in what amounts to a drift sock. (at least this time of year). But I have to admit that looked like a lot of fun and the company was even better. Nice shootin' boys, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Oh mannnnnn why didn't we head out to deeper water on Saturday?>!?!? Nicely done boys....very very nicely done! We busted out the planers....lead core...even spoons.....but we never headed to the deep stuff. Sigh. Next time....but for now....I'll live vicariously through your post :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Great report and success. Like johnnyb, a buddy and I spent Wednesday and Thursday last week fishing between Deseronto and Hay bay with nothing to show. There were fish in that area, but wouldn't hit anything we threw at them. We were thinking of heading down to the Picton area, which now I see we should have done.

mike rousseau Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 i guess i made a rookie mistake following most of the pack on saturday... with 20 boats following the same line i didnt even think to break to deeper water...nice catch...thanks for the report ... its nice to know i got my butt kicked ... that way i know it was me and not the fishing... i'll have to try harder next time i guesss... we finished with one landed one lost and one strike in a small area in the reach...
