Description: Fishing Information for the Bay of Quinte, Ontario
Welcome to the Bay of Quinte and one of the best fishing spots in Ontario. Bay of Quinte is part of Prince Edward County and roughly two hours east of Toronto along Highway 401.
The Bay is well known as a world-class walleye fishery and serves as a spawning area for a lot of Lake Ontario's walleye population. Many of these large fish spend the summer months in the main lake, returning to the bay in the fall. Over the summer months anglers can do well for averaged-size walleye in Quinte, but it's during the fall when trophy hunters visit the Quinte area and troll the cold waters for brutes that push 10 to 12 pounds, and sometimes even more! Hook and land a 10-pound plus walleye, and
Of course, another great fishing fact about the Bay of Quinte is that there is an outstanding bass fishery lurking in the shadows of this well-known walleye spot. Bragging-sized smallmouth bass are easily found on the bay's numerous shoal areas and rocky points. These bronze bass put up impressive tussles whether they're a pound or a trophy. When you're fishing for Quinte smallmouth remember that if the fish doesn't jump and only digs into the deep water - it's a big one!
