mike rousseau Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 just wondering how fishing in quinte is around opener and how you guys fish em... do people still troll planers for suspended fish? or is it mostly a jig bite? are there many of those quinte pigs caught at that time of year...? i know around here a lot of spring and fall locations/techniques are the same... anyways... thanks for any info given mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Used to absolutely SLAM them in Hay Bay during the opener.. Although it's got a lot more weeds then it used to. Nothing but trolling harnesses for us.. Simple stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighfns Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 on flats? on structure? suspended or on the bottom? i heard eirie deiries(sp?) work well up there in the spring i cant seem to find anything online about spring walleye in quinte Troll really slow and use bottom bouncers with a worm harness.. You can also catch them trolling (again real slow) with smaller crankbaits (ccshad or small taildancer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I fish the weed in the spring. Weedlines, clumps and scattered new growth. Bucktails are my favourite but will use suspending jerkbaits and dunk grubs too. Edited April 10, 2012 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Trolling 1/4 oz cranks off of lead core in Big Bay. Look for breaks in the water temps where shallow bays meet the main body of water and troll the temp breaks... I use lead core as it allows me to easily repeat depths and dial them in on the flats.... anything with purple from a crank perspective...

mike rousseau Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 is the fishing very good in the spring? like here we get lots of fish in the spring but all 2-3 pounds mostly...but 10-20+ a day... i was wondering if the big girls still get caught fairly regular in the spring? or do you get really high numbers of smaller fish like us...?

kickingfrog Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's not like the late fall on Q, nothing is. There are still many 7-9 pounders but many more 1-4s. That's fishin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, you are going to get small fish this time of year... biggins have already headed back to Lake O... 1-4 lb range and the occassional gator/water goat/silver bass/white perch....
