You will find by searching using the Search feature just above you will find a treasure trove of information related to fishing the Bay of Quinte.
Do come back and share your story with us on how you did there and what worked for you.
Over time you will find that members will warm up and share opening with you about what works for them ... but people who come here in search of the best techniques for whatever type of fishing.... well they will probably get very little input.
Thanks for the welcome. I kind of figured that being a newbie here and asking for advice might be pushing my luck somewhat but never hurts to ask. I'll do as you suggest and read read read here (i have been btw). I'll definitely post again next week with pics and a report. I don't mind sharing to help others if i can
Welcome to the board Andy, we just got back from Quinte and like you we had never had the Quinte experience until last year and now we are hooked! You definitely need decent electronics there as you should be searching for baitballs and archs showing fish. From there you need to determine what depth they are feeding at and then you need to find a pattern and colours of cranks that work.
We have learned alot over the last year and most of that knowledge has come from Eye-Tracker. If you ever get the chance, book him for a charter and you will learn more in a day than you probably would over a year or more. I know he is pretty much booked up but you could probably shoot him a pm and he might give you some tips.
hey thanks for the welcome and the advice much appreciated. I clued in on reading eye-trackers posts and have spent a good part of my day reading (don't tell my boss ).
We'll be on the water Sat and Sun (hope the weather doesn't suck too bad lol)
Welcome aboard Andy-L, Hope you have a great time and luck down on the Bof Q this weekend. I will also be there with a group looking to put a few of those golden eyes in the boat. If you see a 16 foot Princecraft with a fish-hawk sticker on the back that will be me. I was able to fish out at the Bof Q last fall and we did have some sucsses but the weather can get pretty nasty at times so make sure you dress for it. I will post back to let you know how we do and I hope to read about you guys catching one of those monsters that are there.
Welcome aboard Andy - Excellent advice in some of the previous posts. BOQ is a beautiful place to fish, but is big and different depending on time of year. I have been fishing it for the past several years (usually Spring & Fall)and the best advice I can give is - don't be discouraged, learn from this board and personal experience from every trip. Good luck.
thanks for the tips guys. we're in a 17 foot Legend....we're the ones looking cold and clueless!! hahahahaha. (ok...maybe just clueless as we have stand-up canvas and a heater )
For your first trip on Quinte keep it simple and try to get familiar with the body of water. Trolling cranks for suspended walleye takes a little practice and patience to prevent tangles and produce fish. In-line planer boards excel on the clear waters and also increase the odds in your favor with the number of boats that are going to be out this weekend.
Deep diving cranks Like Manns Stretch 20+ and the Rapala Deep Tail Dancer 25-30 feet down (200 feet of line out for most common deep diving crank-baits) should be a good starting program. For colours try natural colours like silver and golds on sunny days. On overcast days the bright painted baits like firetiger and chartreuse are an excellent choice.
Remember it is fishing, so go out and have fun and you never know when the next walleye on Quinte may be your personal best.

I'll be out this sunday again for the morning hours. Also in a legend. Skunked last weekend and had engine troubles. So i hope the fishing gods are nice to me this sunday! See you all out there boys.
We might head up there this sunday for our first time as well (we are chicken so wemay stay closer to shore and bass fish). The 30km winds they are calling for on sunday make me nervous.
where is everyone launching out of?
it would be cool to see a few people from the board. i'll let you know what boat we'll be in when we decide (my buddies or mine).
