Hi all, I went to Quinte on Sunday and set up on Big Bay. We were in about 18’ of water and it was non-stop perch. We saw 3 big walleye come through on the livescope, a couple big pike, and a few small walleye on the camera, but it was QUIET for walleye.

I’m heading back there on Friday with a buddy and would appreciate if anyone can point me toward an area that might be holding more walleye. I called Bay of Quinte Bait and Tackle and they said Big Bay was popular but the narrows were unpredictable and to stay away.

Any tips or advice would be immensely appreciated!!!

Jason

We first went out around trident point. Way too little ice for our comfort level. So went back and about 1km out on Big Bay. Non-stop perch. A few walleye came through but wouldn’t take anything. Got bitten off by a big pike. If you go out on Big Bay, there’s lots of ice - 12-16”. Good luck!
