Hi Fellas!
I'm heading up to Kabe from the 9-16 of Aug, and does anyone know of any beaches on Kabe that I could take a little guy to go swimming. I was thinking that it would be fun to boat to a private one and have a shore lunch. What do you think?

Thanks!

Boy, beaches are kind of hardc to come by on this lake if I remember correctly there is one on the far southwest corner of the main basin, not sure if it is private beach for a resort or not but i knkow it is there. As far as a secluded one, I think there is a small, very small one on the east side of Potato island. THere is a little campsite or picnic table there too. I hope I am right about it being Potato. I dont have a map in front of me right know but I know it is on a smaller island on the east end of the main basin. If you ahve a good map, it should show the picnic site.

There are at least 4 or 5 very nice natural beaches on Kab, as well as the public beach at woodenfrog campgrounds. Wait and see if Fishkab posts, he will know the island names for the beach locations. If he does not post in the next day or so I will find out and post same later. guts <{{{{{><

Go Fish, There is day use site on the northeast side of Moxie Island. It is a great spot. As a day use site, no one can camp there. It has a fire ring, tables, and is set up for just what you want to do. It has a great beach and goes out a long ways as shallow water. It shows up on the park maps. Easy to find and not that far from any of the resorts. Have fun!!!!!! Fishkab

Go-Fish, I'm not much into beaches but if you ever get in the area of Namakan Island make a run down to Junction Bay. On the west side of the bay a small waterfall enters the lake. Its a very cool spot to anchor in the little cove between the 2 chutes and jump in the lake for a swim.

Don, the owner of Driftwood should be helpful to you for beach locations as well, he is also aguide and he does know the lake well, Hopefully fishing will pick up its pace by the time of your arrival. Good luck, guts <{{{{{><

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
