    Poutrincourt Quebec

    in Walleye

    Posted

    Thanks guys, it was a great trip regardless of weather and many memories were made. Some of my younger teenage cousins who don't get to fish much if at all were amongst the group's more successful anglers. We were a bit split between serious fishermen and more leisurely, laid back not-so-hellbent on numbers fishermen.

    Pap - we were in cabin 10, the big cabin to the north. There was a river right around the cove closest to us that we were a bit too nervous to bring one of the rental boats down, we spotted riffled water right at the start. Probably too shallow. A kayak would've been the ticket. We also didn't get into any of the other rivers nor did we try to.

    The other guys in our group said this was about the worst trip they've had there thus far for numbers and especially weather. Regardless, it was my first time there and I can't wait to go back.

    Just got back yesterday, final numbers for the group were 434 walleye, 26 pike, 4 perch, an umbrella and about 17 cases of beer. The weather was complete crap nearly the entire week besides our first full day which was Sunday. Other than that it was constant on/off showers, lots of wind, a good hail storm and plenty of lightning. Plenty of keepers though and they were fantastic eating.

    Nothing too crazy in the way of lunkers - one 40" pike at 15lbs, and a couple 26" walleyes and numerous over 20" but the majority were right in Poutrincourt's slot size of 12-18" with most being 15-16"

    Overall it was a great time despite the weather conditions. Temps were in the upper 50s and into the low 70s here and there when the sun decided to come out a few times throughout the week.

    Good tips Pap. Our guy who organizes everything has the bait situation all planned out. He pre orders 1000 night crawlers for the whole trip from a bait shop in A-Bay which we get on the way up. I forget how many jigs he gets, I'll bring a bunch anyway. Would it make sense to tie any? Marabou or bucktail? Or does just a worm on a jig do the trick?

    I've heard stories of the pike trying to latch onto walleye as they are being caught/reeled in. The bass fisherman in me makes me want to try and chuck a few big swimbaits, both soft and hard and see if it will get a reaction from those violent pike.

    Great info Pap, thanks!! These other guys I'm going with have been there before and I think they typically jig for the eyes. I have heard lots of stories from them and I figure it's about time I joined them this year. I'll be bringing my 17' Lund so I'm not sure if I'll risk bringing it up any tight river areas but we'll have the smaller rental boats for the other guys as well so we'll see. Good info on the pike too, I've seen pics of monsters caught outta there and wasn't sure if they'd be deep or not. Ourq weather is looking good temp wise, mid 70s all week but there's gonna be some rain. I think I'd rather have some rain than 90+degrees though anyway. Interesting to hear there's perch and smallmouth there as well, the guys in my group seemed insistent it was only walleye, pike, and white fish (whatever that is..) I'm told we will eat very well that week!

    I am heading out on a family trip Friday to fish Poutrincourt Quebec for a week. I've never been to Quebec but luckily the rest of my group has fished here over the years and always do extremely well with walleyes. Last time they went a couple years ago their numbers were over 300 for the week, and these are guys who don't fish a whole lot...

    Has anyone else been to this lake?

    Bass Fishing Attempts: Sandy and Irondequoit

    I'm not the most experienced lake fisherman, but I don't think the Lake O smallie fishing is "dead"...I got easy double digits on Saturday until I couldn't stand the heat. There was also a tournament saturday possibly from outta town (not the Arcadia club tournament) and I was told from one of those guys that the biggest fish weighed in were smallies from the lake in the 4-5lb range. No wonder 10 bass boats right at 5:30 blasted into the lake.

    This is also aside from my first early spring outtings this year. Smallies crushing crankbaits in the bays near shore. Most over 4lb, my biggest right at 5lb even. Again, I'm not the most experienced fisherman, and this is my first full season with my boat, primarily bass fishing. I don't have fancy electronics, just a cheap 2D sonar/GPS unit which I hardly use aside for depth/water temp.

    Long story short, the smallies aren't all dead.

    I bass fish further east every weekend. The bays were crap for me this weekend, but the lake made up for it. It was more so quantity over quality though with most smallies in the 2lb range. They were hitting anything drop shotted - robo worms, live worms, those yamamoto drop shot minnows (can't remember the name..)

    When in doubt, head east...

    Mr clean's Fair Haven Report

    Did good in the bay, lots of medium sized bass enough to keep my attention, plus some in spots I've never had luck before. Is it just me or does the weather forecast always seem pretty off for Fair Haven? All week I was told by AccuWeather rain on saturday, high winds and rain on Sunday and a high of 55 or so. Turned out the complete opposite...

    Looking forward to this weekend, though I assume the bay will be a zoo. I've gotten too used to being one of only a few boats out

    Selling a Yakima kayak rack I used on the roof of my car for one season. Very solid and stable. See the more detailed Craigslist ad if interested.

    Also it might be easier to reach me through there as it goes straight to my email. Sometimes private messages slip through the cracks on this ap.

    Thanks !
