Saturday, Dec 16,2006 will be carved into my psyche forever...

It was the BEST day of Walleye Fishing that I have ever encountered - Bar none.

Was out to fish with Steve Hamilton and Jackson Brawn on Steve's boat on Adolphus Reach from 1100 - 1645.

Before we got all the lines out for the first pass, the outside board went off and we had the first fish of the day, five minutes after starting.

The fish was landed and released and away we went again.

To summarize the day as it would be a long post and most of the details are vague and fading fast. It's tough to keep track of the sizes and weights without writing them down.

We totalled 13 fish in the five hours, including 9 double digits - A PB for Steve of 14.25 lbs and the first ever for me - a TRIPLE HEADER....

Here are a few of the Pix from my Camera.

And my Fishing companions:

I cannot express my thanks to Steve and Jackson for taking me out with them allowing me the chance to fish with them - Real Gentlemen and Real Fishers.

We were fishing east of the ferry, but short of the Keith Shoal buoy, in 75-85 feet of water. We landed eight on Reef Runner(deep)- Purple Demon, a couple on TailDancers TDD11(Clown) and one on a Purple Demon Ripstick. We ran six lines and never had a tangle - good boating and landing skills.

I would suspect that this will be the last trip on the water this year, BUT never say Never......

The outlook for hard water fishing at this writing is to say the least slim, but you can never tell about the weather.

One of the posters today spoke of not going because they had predicted high winds - that never happened.

The weather near the ferry was enjoyable and sunny most of the day, while in Kingston, 45 kms away it was grey and cloudy almost all day.

Thanks again to Steve and Jackson - we must do it again some time next December??????

Cheers and Tight Lines

Fantastic Dave. 13 fish on the day? That day would have re-defined trolling for me. No time to get bored just driving around looking at planer boards.

Congratulations boyz. Cheers,

I had a blast out there Superdad!!!!

You were a top notch Guest.....Dave neglected to mention that he reeled in the first TEN (10) walleye.....Jacko and I tried to tire him out.....Not Dave....he had just a huge a smile reeling in his 11th fish as he did his 1st.

Superdad was one of the first guys i ever read a BoQ report from....I've always looked up to him as a top notch, first class Internet Poster. He's helped SO MANY folks in the Quinte area, jackson and I were really nervous taking him out.

We wanted to get on the fish. We had been up there for 8 days straight.....playing Guide to a bunch of friends.....Its amazing what time on the water produces....I see how important it is for a guide to stay on the conditions, as they really changed (fish catching) from day to day.

The numbers were up for everyone, but the sizes seemed WAY DOWN. However, because of our trial and errors each day, and noticing what everyone was using, AND USING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, we were able to key in on the bigger fish.

I'll try and get a report together, but i'm here at work with a huge pile infront of me.....and yet, here i am chatting on the 'net. Very Happy

Again Dave, thanks for joining us. We were both glad to have ya along for one wild ride!!!!!!
