F_ast Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Going to a cousins Cottage early October for just a family guys weekend. I have never fished the aMea before, but is there a decent muskie population or is it not even worth my time to try? His cottage is in the Picton area and I beleive he said South bay...? I am an avid muskie fisherman through the Kawartha's, Muskoka's and up into the French. If there is an opportunity for some late season Muskie action, I'd like to hit it up.

BFSC Kevin Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've never really heard of musky being pulled out of there.. but plenty of pike if you're into those.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not worth your time in that area, best to head east 30 minutes and get past Kingston and into the river. The reach is pounded by people trolling cranckbaots in the fall and I still have not heard of a muskie coming out of this stretch ( tho they must be a couple) I have always wondered this too , why there isnt more ski's in this stretch.

ehg Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 As others have said targeting walleye or pike is your best bet. Huge walleye in fair numbers will be coming into that area from Lake Ontario about that time. Have seen some pictures in reports here from Quinte of musky but not for 6-7 yrs. They were caught incidentally while targeting bass there and about 30-35 inches in size. One regular contributor here mentioned a 'ski hit his jig 'n pig and it was so big he could barely move it before it snapped his line. They seem to be there but are rarely caught.
