Bay of Quinte is renowned for world-class walleye fishing, particularly during the fall trophy season when mature walleye exceeding 10 pounds migrate into these Ontario waters. From mid-October onward, anglers target these legendary giants, with fish reaching 13+ pounds in the deep channels and bays. Spring and early summer offer excellent resident walleye action in sheltered areas like Picton Bay and Long Reach, where 2-5 pound fish strike consistently.

Summer brings salmon migrations into Lake Ontario adjacent to the bay, with charters pursuing chinook and coho from July through August. Year-round opportunities include northern pike in weedy bays, feisty smallmouth bass along rocky points, and panfish hotspots. The bay's diverse structure—from shallow flats to 80-foot trenches—supports healthy populations of muskellunge, crappie, and yellow perch across its 70-mile length.

Experienced local captains leverage decades of knowledge to navigate these fertile waters. Fully equipped Transport Canada-certified vessels ensure safe, productive trips whether trolling for trophies or casting shoreline structure. With convenient access from Toronto and Ottawa, Bay of Quinte delivers unforgettable multispecies adventures across all seasons.
