QUINTY REPORT OCT.23/04

Post by big-o »

Had a good day on the bay :D

My brother Dave and I left my place about 5:30am , Stopped at Tims on the 401 to fill my thermos :D After missing two turns to Quinte (sound familar John)on the 401, I turned around and headed east on the 401 got off on county road 4 to Millhaven ...arrived at the Launch about a hour later :oops: :oops: I had My brother drive the boat off the trailer ,remmber that new prop...well now it's a old prop :x :evil: (bent a blade)....we had trouble getting the Ninty to idle so we motored out using the kicker....we started to set up as soon as we hit 100 feet of water, the first out, were the planner boards, I ran them out about 125 feet , the first board we ran a DR. death 135 feet back, the second board I ran a chrome Manns +20 back about 105 feet, the next to get set, were the Down riggers...First one I put down 25 feet and ran a Firetiger J-13 100 feet of the ball, the next rigger I set for 35 feet down and 140 feet off the ball....now in about 113 feet of water heading east towards the stacks ...the first release came about 10:30 am(off the planner board ,DR. Death) I handed the rod off to Dave...after a short none battle , Daves first Quinte Walleye was in the Net :D :D A fat 26 incher :D NO SKUNK TODAY :D :D :D
Image
The next release(off the planner board Chrome +20) came a few mins later... I had the rod, again no fight :?
this was a small 22 incher
Image
About 1/2 hour later the next release came as I was bringing in the line to change up the baits...a small 6 Lbs Sheepshead...No photo :oops:
We made the turn and headed back towards the Ferry, when the next release came I had the rod again(rod hog :D )after a some what of a fight the third Walleye was in the net(off the board , DR.DEATH)this fish had all three sets of hooks in her face :x It took a bit of time to remove the hooks, get the measurment and weigh her 32 " 9.9 LBS, I torpedoed her in back into the water....forgot to take a pic :x :x :x :oops:
about five minuts later The down rigger poped..I handed the rod off to Dave.. a good fight, deep head shakes a small run...and the fourth fish was in the net...Dave has his first double didget Walleye :D 11 LBS and 33.5 inches long
Image
After that we lost two more beside the boat...both about 25 to 30 inches long :evil: :oops: :oops: we trolled back and forth for a couple more hours .....nothingImage

Since Dave had his Daughter coming for supper , we packed it in around 3:00pm
I met Xenos out on the water ...he was also having a great day ....I'll let him tell his story :!: :!: There was no sign of Eyetracker or Roughrider :( :( ...maybe next time , got the motor purrrrrrring like a kitten now...well except for the prop :x

Love the pics Phil!

I can't wait to get back up there! Seeing your brother kicked back with his coveralls wide open tells me the weather was a little better then the last time you visited the bay!

Ron my best friend was driving me nuts. “Did you see all those fish on fish Hawk”. We have to go to the BOQ. Ok, he convinced me so I called Big O. He told me where to go and what to use. Today was the day. We hit the water and in no time we had a 9.5 lb Walleye then a few of those sheep head all + 8lb I might add, I didn’t see the hits we heard them, the day ended with a personal Best of 29” 10.5 Walleye

Thanks Phil. and all the reat of you Hawk Talkers.
