Bay of Quinte Monster Walleye fishing in the Fall!



  

For years I have thought about making the trip to the Bay of Quinte for fall fishing.  Trophy Walleyes are more abundant in the fall due to the migration pattern that allows them to winter close to their spawning area.  Dave Wagler and myself decided to set out to catch the big one.  We had two days to catch big walleye and set personal bests.  Grant McAllister who owns and operates G2 angling specialists ( http://www.g2angling.com/ ) spends a lot of time chasing the big one for many clients with his Guide Service.  Grant and I fished together this past season on the Northern Ontario Walleye Trail ( http://www.nowt.ca/ ) and we share the same passion.  He invited me to come down an experience something most people never get a chance to experience, reel in Monster Walleye.  This trip was the highlight of my fishing career to date.  Using our Offshore planer boards, Reef Runners and Rapala's Trolls To 20 cranks, we managed to catch 14 walleye over two days of miserable cold weather.  The average size was about 9 lbs (28 inches).  We missed many fish too!  I ended up beating my personal best 3 times.  My personal best before this trip was 9.5 lbs.  I caught a 10.5, 10.8 and a 13.6 lb walleye.  I cannot believe how fat these fish are.  They feed on lots of Gizzard Shad and grow fast.  These fish really fight and dog all the way to the boat.  What I like about this fishery is everytime the board jumps back aggressively it could be a 15 lb + walleye on.  I am already planning my next trip.  If you are a passionate Walleye fisherman than you need to do this trip once, but I warn you it is addictive.  I invite all to join me next fall on the Bay of Quinte for Monster Walleyes and great planer board action.  Grant McAllister with G2 Angling has you covered and will put you on fish.
