Walleye Fishing - Bay of Quinte in the Fall

This fall I will head out to the Bay of Quinte arear to try for some fall monsters. I have never been there, me and my good friend Mike have been unable to get a good guide to take us out for a fair price, so we have pretty well decided to head out there with our own boats and see how we can do on our own (yikes!).

This should be the ultimate test for me, the Bay of Quinte is a giant area without much structure to speak of, the fish is caught trolling a specific plug called Mann's +20, the color of choice is Dr Death (see picture above). I have none of these plugs so it sounds like I have to spend yet more money on lures this year. Further, I have no idea how deep to troll. I do know people in Ontario will fish with planer boards to get more lines in the water, because they are allowed 2 rods per angler, while our provincial rules say one rod per angler... not used to this.

Also I have no clue where to put the boat in the water, no idea which sector of the Bay is worth my time, I don't know which time of day works best, or even which type of weather works best in November.

Then there is the fact that this is Lake Ontario, and I have a small boat (17 foot Princecraft with a 90 HP motor).

This will be an adventure for sure. Whether we come back with fish or not will be a matter of planning, so I will start now - if any of you know anything interesting that we should consider regarding Bay of Quinte walleye fishing in November and December, please leave a comment and if you prefer, you can send me email at marc {dot} poirier {at} gmail {dot} com.
