Fishing Report Bay Of Quinte Giants

[Braggin Rights]

Hey all!

Holy smokes... Averie and I met up with some friends on the Bay of Quinte to film and fish there for the first time and it was absolutely insane. Multiple fish in the 9 to 11 pound range were caught. The next couple of weeks are supposed to be good so get out while you can. Fish were eating rattle spoons and slender spoons tipped with minnow heads (mudminnows). The bite was obviously best in the morning and evening... with the odd fish cruising through during the day. We did an episode of HOOKED for TV and a YouTube video on day 2 which we will share as soon as we can. Hope you enjoy the pics.

















Cheers,
Ryan and Averie.

One very big reason @mick why I never fish the Bay of Quinte,lots of walleye’s,but no good to eat!! maybe for some people. Catch & release all the way,if I ever did walleye fish there. There are lot’s of walleye’s there to catch all season long,for potentially of catching a trophy walleye there of a lifetime.

Why are they no good to eat? Too big, old & contaminated? I fish Erie and maybe not as big but plenty of good eaters.

They actually did catch some smaller ones which we kept for the plate… but all of the bugger ones (pictured here) went back.

Thanks Red! We both had a blast!

Yeah I’ve never seen such a big average size!!! But we definitely caught some small ones too. Day 1 was a good day for numbers… day two it was all about size. Same spot.. same baits… different fish!

The majority of the fish we caught were big females… they’re probably pretty contaminated at that point, plus it’s best to let them go to make future trophy walleyes for us to catch later on. We did keep some smaller males though.

@Dmanwithnoname , do you have a consumption guide that applies here?

First off if was to ever eat a dirty hot dog, I’m so straight that I would eat it from the middle.
