Richard Rosset and I have been trying to plan a day fishing trip together for the past 3 weeks but weather and schedules kept getting in the way. We decided to just book a day and go no matter what the weather was like. Well the day we booked couldn't have been worse conditions. The description of the weather goes like this: -4 celcius, blowing snow with some freezing rain, wind gusts from 25-35 km/h and 4-5ft rolling waves. We really wanted to tackle
Munuscong Bay for some late season Walleyes but the waves were too big and the boat trip would have been at least 1.5 hrs due to reduced speed. Instead we thought we would check out
Lake George to see what the conditions were like and go from there.
Well Lake George was way to rough as well with high winds and big waves. The spray from the waves was coming over the boat windshield into our faces. Determined, we decided to go back to
Bell's Point to see if we could locate any fish since we were already out fishing. The water was relatively calm and we were marking some fish but we weren't sure what we were seeing. First we started pulling some planer boards and crankbaits for awhile. After a good run it was clear the fish didn't want what we were providing so we changed it up. Instead we threw down some bottom bouncers tipped with a worm and a Gulp Minnow. On the first pass we landed a 33 inch pike that was really thick. The chart says 10lbs but I think it was bigger. You be the judge! We fished a little bit longer but the weather was pretty terrible so we packed it in early. Check back in a week to see how did on The Bay of Quinte for two days. Home of Monster Walleye!
