Bay of Quinte information

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Bay of Quinte information

Post by Wrexxer »

I've used the search and I can find some stuff but not quite what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know the best time to fish the bay of quinte? And a good place to rent a cottage?

We are a couple of guys (4) that are trying to find a good spot to fish walleye one last time this year with 4-5 hours but not too much gravel roads. I was at the Gouin this year and I'm not driving it again! hehe...We are looking to go somehwere in 2 week from now. We would just rent a cottage since we all have the boats...

one of the fella's has a 14 with 9.9 so it would have to be somewhere that can be fished on a smaller boat! So don't say the middle of lake ontario!

Wea re looking on the Ontario side sine we've all explored QC this year...looking for something different. This is hy I was concidering Quinte!

Any suggestions would be great thanks!

THe walleyes bite all year on the Bay, so there's no "best" time. You've got a pretty good timeline (the next few weeks) to have some water to yourselves though, kids are back at school and the pre-ice trolling gongshow on Adolphus wont be fired up till november.

Good luck!

You can get walleye year round in Quinte, but if you can I would go late Oct or in Nov, best chance at a trophy.

Best of luck.

Jims right.. Fall is the best time to chase those quinte walleye!
Check out blakewood lodge over in Hay Bay (north shore)! It may be a farther boat ride to where the monsters may be.. but its a very nice facility and really great owners!

My understanding from their website is that they close sometime in October....It would be great to find a place on the water with boat docks (other than Merlands ) that rents cottages right through until ice up ...
