Bay of Quinte report Jan 14 2015
Finally got a chance to get up to Quinte for an ice fish, and did a marathon trip. Was on the ice with 2 buddies at Huffs before sun up. We setup fairly close to the access spot in about 26 fow and the 3 of jigged till noon or so, also had a tipup set. With no hut and -28 without the windchill, it was COLD!
I nailed my personal best walleye through the ice early, around 7:30am this one bit on a green glow buckshot and 2 small minnows.
Should've weighed it as it was the best I've iced, but it so cold I didn't want the eyes/gills freezing up. Quick pic and back she went.
Fished all morning with hardly any other action. Ice was decent 4-6" clear hard ice with maybe 2-4" snow ontop. There were a few sleds ripping around.
We packed up after lunch and headed to shermans to setup and meet Tylercurt and his entourage for the evening bite. Down a man (asleep in the truck) it was far less fun towing a heavy 3 man sled-train of gear out to 29 fow. The ice was probably 6" of solid clear ice, although we didn't measure. There were a few quads and an argo out there. We setup by 1:30pm, didn't mark much or catch anything till the sun started dropping. Around dusk there was a quite a flurry of activity for about 1.5 hrs. We iced a couple of 2lb eaters. Tylercurt put on a clinic for some Quinte newbies pulling up a pair of dandy 'eyes in short succession on the same lure I was using in the a.m. with a minnow head, and 2 minnows
A few other guys got some small ones, we missed a flag and a few smaller ones also that didn't make it to the hole. A long day on the ice, but better than I normally do on Quinte.
Go get 'em boys

Re: Bay of Quinte report Jan 14 2015
do the fish migrate through those area ? is it good in all those spots or do they move as the winter progresses

That's Funny Animal - the guy that made that map is the guy pictured in the post (not me).
I accessed huff's from huff's rd and shermans from bayview boat launch. Both are on that map.
As for finding them...your guess is as good as mine. They are all over the bay
