Need Information about the B of Q

[HitmanHill]

Does anyone have any information on the Bay of Quinte around the Hungry Bay area. A map or where to find one would be great. Looking to do some fishing in this area and would love a little insight about the area. I am sure with this vast amount of knowledge someonehere must knows this area. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi HitmanHill,

Hi There,

I'm looking at the Quinte Angling Adventures Map and can't see any 'Hungry Bay'

I must admit that I've never heard of that area.

Where exactly is the area that you are referring to? Close to another landmark.

I too do not know the place?

[fatluke]

I think you got your bays mixed up Hitman..

Never heard of it in my life...

Hey Hitman,

In researching this it appears that Hungry Bay is where the Salmon river flows into the Bay of Quinte just south of Shannonville. It may not be called that though. Mohawk Bay seems to be in that area. Not sure if this helps.

Hitman, Burv is right. It is right where the Salmon river comes in. Not to far from Telegraph Narrows.

Good research Burv. I grew up in Belleville and never heard of that being called Hungry Bay, and I think Fatluke grew up about a stones throw from this bay. Guess none of us are ever done learnin'

That area would be known to the locals as the "north shore of Big Bay" and once you're there, you're either 'east' or 'west'(toward Trident pt) of the salmon outflow. Check out a map here http://www.quintefishing.com/images/bigbay.gif It gives an idea of the bottom contures (OMG and it shows "Hungry Bay"....guess I should read my maps a little closer!). Hope this helps.

Good Fishin'

Thanks everyone for your help. I knew this was the place to come to to get the facts.

Wow... Good work Graembo..

I spent the first 10 years of my life growing up on the banks of the salmon river.. and I have never heard, nor seen it mentioned as hungry bay.. Yet I used to fish in that area daily...

Learn something new everyday...

I just wanted to share some info with you about this particular piece of water.

Back in the hayday of the bay this place used to hold a lot of fish. Not so much anymore.

I fished this stretch last day of the opening last year... and without any success. One other factor to bear in mind is that if the west wind is blowing this beach area gets real choppy.

I would highly recommend fishing the channel area on the map that is referred to in your discussion string. A lot of anglers were fishing this stretch last year. Many were trolling near the shoal on the bottom left area of the map but more were drift fishing the channel. The deep water just at the bottom right of the map... this channel leads to the narrows a very productive area for many.

Best of luck this season. I might be down on the opener but I haven't firmed up any plans yet. A Mepps black fury with the feathered treble tipped with a chunk of dew worm used to be the lure of choice in the Hungray Bay area.

Seaweed where did you have success last year opening weekend???Need to know if I go where I should try. Cause we fished the mouth of the Napanee river and all we could catch was tons of 2-3lbers.

Nothing wrong with that Dan

[Seaweed]

We didn't find any big fish last year.

Well we saw some in some nets.

Oh yeah.... got a nice Largie too.

Seaweed I was just asking, you said that you didn't have any success there on the last day I was just trying to compare it to other places at the Bay.

plus i was looking for the big ones.
