Heading to Kab on 19th

[Duke96]

Will be on Kab from the 19th - 26th with my Dad, Uncle and Brother, staying at Sandy Point Lodge. We've fished Crane/Sand Point for the last six years and had a great time every year, but we decided it was time for a change in scenery. Any tips or a couple good starting points would be very much appreciated. Can't wait to get up there, this next week of work is going to last forever.

I have fishing Kab and Namakan for 30yrs. One year we decided to change and try Crane and Sandpoint. I was a little disappointed. To much aircraft noise and too many cabins. I can't help you much on places to fish on that end of Kab I just fish the east end and Namakan. I am going up the 19th also. Good luck, I am sure you will be a convert.

There are a lot of places to fish on that end of the lake. The Grassies, Cemetery Island, and Tom Cod bay are all at your fingertips. The owner of Sandy point and his family always know what the bite is like on any given day and can always steer you in the right direction.

Also, Sandy Point has the best bacon cheeseburgers I've ever tasted. Great place to eat and drink.

I'll be up there that week as well. If you see a black & tan crestiliner with a grey 200HP yamaha and a grey kicker, give a wave. Can always swap fish stories about the "big one."

Good luck and welcome to the lake.

Dusty: I am also going up on the 19th, except, my trip is a little shorter than yours. Are you saying at Sunset?

DLR

[Dusty]

DLR, No, we are staying at Frontier this trip. I prefer Sunset but it comes down to a matter of $. I have three Grandkids along and a dog. I save a couple hundred staying at frontier cause they don't charge for extra people over two and the dog.

Dusty: We usually eat our breakfast at the Frontier each morning, or at least, most mornings. Hope to run into you there. I run a 1992 1775 Pro-V with the 196th LIB patch pasted on each of the wave wackers.

[Dusty]

DlR, ok I will look for your boat. Where are you planning on starting out. I think I will try kabby first, maybe Nebraska bay or Knox Is. depending on the weather. I run a Crestliner Sportfish green/tan with a 115 Yamaha. Maybe see you on the water. Good luck

Dan: Sounds good. I'll sure look for you. Depending on what the wind direction is, Lost Bay, kohler Bay, even Sullivan Bay. I guess we will have to wait and see what we will face as far as conditions are concerned. Good Luck yourself!!!!

[Dusty]

Mizzouraider,

Thanks for the report. Not what I wanted to hear however. Thought sure the Walleyes would pick up with the warmer weather. Were they still deep?

from what we heard, the slots were holding at 30-35 ft. and coming in shallower in the evening. Don't be bummed, you might hit it just right. p.s. we did'nt see any bait fish shallow. that will be the key to shallow bite. good luck.
