Quinte Consistent Walleye Action.

Posted on June 4th, 2009

As we head into summer, aquatic weedbeds will grow larger and denser. Finding solid weedlines will be the key to cathing some of the larger walleye on the Bay of Quinte.

Anglers are continuing to catch lot’s of walleye averaging 1 1/2 – 4 lb. fishing both shallow-water weedbeds/weedlines and also fishing the main Bay-basin. We are getting reports that anglers fishing shallow weeds with spinnerbaits and twitch-baits for pike are regularly hooking walleye. Since the walleye season opened, anglers have been steadily catching walleye fishing the main-Bay basin in water depths ranging from 12′ (Telegraph Narrows), to 15-20′ (most of the Upper Bay basin). Those anglers have been doing well bottom-bouncing with a worm-harness/worm, spinner/worm, or jigs/plastic grubs/live bait. Larger walleye are being caught trolling with medium-diving crankbaits and by casting crankbaits like the Rapala Tail Dancer #9 around the weedlines. Virtually anywhere there is good weed-growth right now, there are walleye feeding on the edges.
