Bay of Quinte

[Landshark]

Went to the Q to fish a little in search of a hawg eye. Fished sat am 8-12 with nothing but a few perch taken on a NK mag with 5 inch minnows. Got lunch, Fished 3- 7 pm with nothing. Hit it sunday am for 3 hrs before heading home. Not an eye caught, not by me , not by anyone within a few hundred yards of me. I didnt see one Wally caught. SLOW!!!!!! Season ends today up there. Had a great time , got alot of exersize. I did manage a big burbot today that i hoped was going to be an eye, but just as tasty. I guess it's kinda uncommon to catch them. This fish was 32inches long

Nice pic's mike and good job

those fish are also called Bowfin and dogfish, I caught one in port bay and one in sodus bay and if you have ever fished Black lake then you already know that it's full of them

I think bowfin are a different fish, maybe the sam family but definately a different fish. Thanks JR
