Bobber lands a PB at BOQ

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.

Bobber lands a PB at BOQ

Post by Bobber »

Well I guess 3 is the charm. This year I"ve managed to make it down to the Bay of Quinte on 3 occasions. First shot....nothing.....second shot 1 for my buddy Al and 1 for Fishhawk...none for Bobber. Headed out for the 3rd time this past Sunday and I was very excited.....it was my turn.

And what a turn it was. Board popped and the battle was on. This fish was not like any other Quinte Walleye I've caught in the past. Reeling those beauties in from 400ft you don't feel a lot a fight, more weight than anything else until the fish comes to the surface and you drag her in from 50 ft behind the boat. No way sir....not this one...she was a real fighter. Pump, pump, pump, straight down all the way to the boat. I thought it was never going to come up. By the fight, I figured for sure it was a sheephead. Took me 20 minutes to get her in...but when I did see her my eyes lit up.

14 pound Bay of Quinte Eye....and Bobber's personal best so far.

The old girl was safely released, but promised me she'd come back next year, 2 pounds heavier. Now I want to go again. :lol:
