Background
I have been fishing all my life since I was a very young kid and have been around water all my life. I was born on the west coast and have fished at various locations up and down the province in both Saltwater and Freshwater environments. Some of my favourite fishing spots in BC are within minutes of major cities, you don’t have to go far to find the fish. Moving to Ontario in 2015, I had never heard of the ability to fish for “pacific” salmon (chinook and coho) in the Great Lakes but it was a fantastic opportunity and a truly amazing fishery.
Techniques
The preferred method of catching fish for me is trolling, as it allows us to cover a lot of water. Fish are mobile and will follow the bait, so this lets us move and adjust as necessary.

Fishing Reports

Final Report of 2024 - Bay Of Quinte - D
Final Report of 2024 - Bay Of Quinte - D
Dec 29, 2024 Toronto
We arrived at Finkles Shore Park in Bath before 7am and got setup, with the water extremely low, we got the boat in and headed west to the reach to hunt for some Bay of Quinte Gold Bars. Unfortunately today all we could manage were a couple hit and runs between the Bat Cave and the Lighthouse. And for those of you planning on getting out in the next week, the Ferry Launch is not going to be useable because the ice extends well to the east of the ferry. We made another pass near the bat cave towards Prinyers making sure the gear was in the right range with the #smartTroll but no takers so we picked up and moved out to the gap to have some fun with the Lakers! And fun it was. We got setup infront of the plants headed west to ride the increasing swell and wind and it was less than 5 mins and we popped a nice one. Then Daniel had one that broke off. We quickly set back and the other side went off and Daniel redeemed himself with a nice one! Two more in quick succession and then a double to finish off our day pulling lines at 3pm to head back and try and dry out a bit from all the rain! Thanks to @jbs_fishingdepot and their customs that did the heavy lifting today! Had a great day now to put the boat away for a short slumber and get the gear ready for next Season! Thank you all to those that came out and fished with us this season! Booking for next season is up and available!

Fishing Report - Sunday Afternoon July 2
Fishing Report - Sunday Afternoon July 2
Jul 24, 2024 Toronto
Eugene and Dominik his wife, are new Legend X20 owners and wanted to see what was possible so they got in touch with me and picked a time cause they had some holidays planned and we booked the afternoon session. They were out in their boat during the morning, and would come on mine for the fishing. We knew the water had changed since the morning so we ripped out to 300fow right away and put the spoon rigger rod down first. I turned around and it literrally fired in less than 10 seconds. Dominik did a great job bringing it in.. It was a nice mid teens Chinook. We got it back in the water, and reset the line. We got 2 other in the water before the spoon rigger fired again, this time a nice rainbow on the slider. And it certainly wasnโ€™t as steady as the morning, but we kept picking away at it, bringing home 3 more chinooks and 2 cohos. Most gear was in the 40-65 feet deep with the deep meat rigger down 88. The issue out deep was the debris in the water, we were constantly having to check and clear lines as the crap on them was astounding. Branches leaves, sticks, everything. We fished out to 397 fow and turned around and came back in, picking away at them right till about 8pm when we weโ€™re in about 240 fow coming at the marina and we had 2 good hits on the 250ws and 200 ws. One with Flasher fly and one spoon. This afternoon we didnt take any fish on meat. Eugene and Dominik had a great time and are already planning their return and possibly some fall walleye in Bay of Quinte with me.

Holy big fish! Jon knew right what to do and oh boy was he busy. We caught 10+ 10 pound fish and enjoyed every second.
