What visitors say

Bay of Quinte Charters fishes the Bay of Quinte on the northeastern side of Lake Ontario, and all 17 reviews are five stars. Walleye (pickerel) is the focus, and the stories reviewers tell are about big fish.

Late fall is when the trophy walleye show up. One group on a two-day charter at the end of November caught fish from 5 to 11.5 pounds, mostly around 10, and a grandparent reported three kids landing seven walleye averaging 8.5 pounds, the largest 12.5. Summer trips produce good pickerel too, with personal bests reported. The charter also runs salmon trips.

The boat gets a lot of praise. It's described as new, fully equipped and heated, with comfortable seats, which matters on a cold November day. Captains and first mates work hard, adjusting techniques right to the end of the trip, and several reviewers enjoyed the stories and company as much as the fishing. One group mentioned burgers and sausages on board, and another mentioned clean, modern hotel rooms as part of their trip.

There are no complaints in the reviews. Late-season trophy dates are popular with repeat customers, so book ahead, and dress for cold water and wind if you're going in November.
