I decided to keep on small water this am with the unpredictability of the sky over the last 24 hours. Launched around 4am and was off the water by 8:30am. Managed 6 walleye from 17-21.5 inches and eight accidental largemouth. The surface weeds were a little bit of the pain in the butt. speeds were 1.7-.2.4 mph sog.
Yes there are some shoals outside of quinte in Canadian water in the lake that are phenomenal in July and August. I could name a few but guys frown on that. There is one in particular very close to cape Vincent that is very productive
That's why I'm on a trailer this year. Slipped in Mexico last year and not to mention the brown fishing wasn't what it was. I'll move around, smack some walleye and wait for any kinda numbers of nookies to show up instead of beating a dead horse
Well, that laKe has kicked my butt more often than not. It was just the one time I was able to get it back. My plan was to get the tiger last but I just got lucky.
What a great time this event was. Kudos to Justin and Tracy for their hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet some of you. Unfortunately my work schedule didn't allow me to hang around and catch-up and I missed out on all the amazing food.
I got there Saturday 8am with the hopes of getting a walleye to start. 20 min into my troll aboard fired and not until I took the board off did I realize it wasn't an eye. 20 minutes or so later I landed the tiger. I spent the next 29 minutes trying to revive it into the water. At one point I thought it was going to go but it eventually came back up. I made my best effort to release the fish but I wasn't going to leave a dead fish out there floating around so I circled back around and brought it back on board. Although I feel awful, the fish will be table fare. That is all I fishes Saturday. I spent the rest of the day pleasure boating with the wife and dog. I got back on the lake Sunday @4am. My plan was to get a walleye and the bite was on. I was alone and landed 9 by sun up. So my plan was to downsize baits and troll up a smallie as soon as the sun appeared. The smallie cooperated. I then picked my gear and went to two riggers and a dipsey in search of a brown. 10 min later I brought a monster 12 1/4 inch to the boat. Lol. I trolled for a couple more hours til 9:30 and tries to upgrade the brown. I did take four more but they were all 12-14 inches. Thanks again to all.
