My father and I made a last ditch effort to better our personal bests,
2/24 Arrive at motel around 12:30 and get checked in and change our clothes. Then on the ice off Shermans in 26'-28' of water. The evening bite produces NOTHING for me but Dad pulls 6-7 perch that add up to maybe 1 1/2 -2 lbs. tops..... all dinks. A local coming off the ice makes the comment to us " I did 10 eyes out there, but nothing over 2 pounds" pointing towards the middle of Long Reach. Now I'm not an idiot, and jump on he wheeler and shoot out to the 6 10" holes he told us about and drop a waypoint for later.
2/25 Tuesday Morning after a lengthy discussion about the weather we decide to leave that night, strong winds and sleet freezing rain and possibly 10" of snow. It was a gorgeous morning and then at 7:00 a BIG mark swims in suspended up 6' off the bottom. I crank my 1/2 gold buckshot up to it and I starts to swim down, I drop to it give a couple real aggressive snaps an SLAM !!! I'm hooked up to a heavyweight .... DAD !!!! he comes over, as this fish is bulldogging me the whole way up and at the hole which by the way thank god is a 10" hole she makes a couple last runs. The gaff does it job and this slob is top side .... 12.9lbs.

After fishing all morning I've caught 4 fish, this trophy, a 4 lb. fish that was dinner and 2 more shorts, my father also landed 2 shorts. The front moved in and the weather was changing fast so we pulled the plug at 5:30.
If you've never fished The Bay of Quinte and want an honest shot at a 10+ pound Walleye there's no better place in all of the Northeast. Erie has good number but hands down the size is right here. A 15.4 lber was caught 2 weeks earlier by a buddy of mine

congratulations that is an absolute amazing fish man, is she destined for the wall or what?

Awesome walleye especially through the ice, Congrats! Is she destined for the wall or what? ;D
-
WOW, killer eye there. Congrats
-
great catch!

Believe it or not...... NO she's back swimming and making more little eyes. I've set a lofty goal of 14+ which up on Quinte is certainly not impossible.
