We decided to "re-kindle' the fishing bond we had by heading down to Quinte for a few days and try our luck at some eyes...
We took our time driving down on Wednesday morning and launched the boat around 9:00AM...we decided to troll the Thompson's and Sherman's point areas for a while before trolling in front of the cement plant...
I kept beating my head wondering why we weren't able to hook into any fish so I turn around to discuss tactics with Dane and see this catastrophe!!!!!
YUP.....Daner decided to pack a banana with his lunch
.....I immediately leaned over and yanked it out of his hands and flung it overboard 
Needless to say Wednesday was not a good day as we ended 0 -1 by dark..
We woke up bright and early Thursday morning only to find that the wind had picked up from the East and was blowing pretty good..we headed East of the Ferry and got bumped around for a few hours before deciding to head back to the bay and wait to see if the wind settled down in the Reach...this pic shows how rough it was out there..
The afternoon turned out to be awesome with us boating 6 small eaters all caught in the 30FOW range...
We got off the water earlier on Thursday and headed back to the room to down some pops and discuss the strategy for Friday morning...With the forecast looking in our favor, we decided to head back up the Reach and search for bait balls....we found lots but most of them were in the deeper water column including the fish..we only had a couple of hours of morning fishing before we had to pack up and head back home for 2:00PM so we re-rigged our setup and decided to try and get out baits down deeper....
BINGO!!......Daner was able to get this healthy gal into the boat and ended our mini trip with a thumbs up!
Here are some screen shots from the Lowrance....
Fishing was tough for everyone and we still may be a bit early this fall....the water temp east of the ferry was around 50F and the fish were deep. The water temp in the bay and around Thompson's point averaged around 45F
We talked to lot of other anglers and no one was having great success with boating fish let alone big fish!....we met a couple of guys from Illinois at our motel that come to Quinte on a regular basis and they only boated 1 small eye in 4 days...
It's only going to get better but we need some cooled weather now!
Last but not least, my new ride handled the rough water like a champ!...We were totally impressed!
5 days with mixed crews = 56/64 (29 eyes)
