This summer and into the Fall we were super excited to welcome many female anglers to the resort. Some of them are avid anglers and others were first timers. Either way, they had lots of luck on the Bay of Quinte bringing in many different species and making great memories.
Out on the ice for 5 hours & caught 10 jumbo perch & these two beautiful pike. Pete caught most of the fish on the VMC Tingler – perch color and tipped with a minnow. Great day outdoors!
