Little Boy - Wabedo Reports?


Recommended Posts

I'm not big on the opening day circus, so I spent the weekend primarily getting chores out of the way so I can get on the water after the circus pulls out of town. That doesn't mean I'm not curious about hearing reports on what went on or is going on out there! Thanks in advance for your postings.......

You must have been on LB.

Were you by the channel bridge?

yeah, I was on little boy and just about everywhere on the lake. I live in muskie bay so I get to spend lots of time fishing it.

Things are still the same. I fished Wednesday night and Thursday. Caught 11 walleyes but only 4 were over 14 inches and they were just over. The rest were around 12. Seems that the females have not put on the feed bag yet after the spawn. Seems a bit strange with the warm weather. You would think that they would be going by now. I did have one nicer fish on Thursday afternoon but she threw the hook. (yeah, I know the big ones always get away...)

The muskies are moving. Had one around 24 inches chase my crankbait when I was casting off a dock. Actually boated a 28 incher that hit a rainbow on a spinner.

Plan on making my 7th trip to the lakes on june 15,16,17 my friends and i go every year its about a week later then normal but i cant think the lake could change that much we are staying at little ponda resort this year. Any info on the resort or lake for that time of year would be great. We fish for everything and don't keep any except panfish and not to many of them

I had some decent luck tonight. Boated 10 walleye, 8 13-14", one 19" and one spawned out 25" female, all of which were released. Big shiners on an orange and yellow jig took them all.

Fishing should be pretty good when you get there. Ray and his wife are very nice people and Ray really knows Wabedo, so squeeze him for current conditions and suggestions. Have a great trip. I live accross they bay from them.

A neighbor and I ventured out to LB for about an hour on Saturday night to find gale force winds blowing straight down the lake and upper 30's to low 40's temps. I think the windchill must have been in the 20's. We drift fished (probably too fast) the 17-10 foot range and caught 2 and missed a number of fish that were tail taggers in the fast drift. I would have set a drift sock out, but hate to do it that shallow and with our trip being short and with the cold temps..... Well you know..

Last weekend the water was 59.5 just about everywhere on LB and there was no problems going between Wab and LB thru the channel. All size boats were going back and forth. Also, fishing was great!

we just got back from there and it rained on us a little on friday those drops were the size of golf balls but we still got alot of fish. Seen several musky there isn't any walleye in either lake smallies and sunnies were on there bed. saturday was perfect for being on the lake. Largemouth were all over on the points going into musky bay. Largest smallie was 4.10lb biggest musky was about 40" (seen not caught)

rain was not fun to pack up camp in on sunday. White head with yellow skirt for crappie and panfish. 3 inch gray straight rubber worm for LM bass anything for 20" northern

wondering how you did over the weekend. This BB has been pretty dead. Had some panfish luck near the weeds and some walleye on Lindy Rigs and crawlers nothing on leeches. Don't fish for northern but caught a few on the spinner action in front of crawlers. Anyone else? Or is it so good you won't report? Keep you knot tight and your line fresh.

Spent the past 7 days up there and didn't do very well at all. Some small northern. Didn't see a muskie. 2 walleye. Also fished Wabedo, Boy & Mule w/ very little luck. Must be bad fishing as there is no chance it is my fault grin.gif

I'm finally going to get a chance to get back up this weekend (hopefully). Working through weekends stinks!!!!

Has anyone been out and if so, any reports? I don't care what it is with the exception of those over abundant rock bass..... I just need something pullin' on my line!

I'm going to be in the area for a week (My Bachelor Party is the weekend of August 18th) I was thinking about hitting Wabedo the Day before... Does/can anyone give me any tips...

I'd like to get into a Musky or some Walleye if I could... But Smallie action would also be fun...

As I understand it... From where I'm coming from the I'll be launching out of the South Landing on Wabedo.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Considering going back to Wab/LB in late September for muskies. How was the fall muskie bite last year?

We hit it the weekend after the big coldfront in mid-October and only raised one fish. Didn't feel like we got to see what Wab/LB is capable of so we're debating a return trip or heading elsewhere. Thanks in advance.

Fished both last year the last week of September. Raised 1 on LB, none on Wabedo. Not the best muskie fisherman alive, but sure thought I would see more.

Wondering about the water levels on Wab & LB. I know Wab is way down - Can an 18ft boat still get between the 2 lakes without a whole lot of concern?

Link to comment
Share on other sites

I would say so. I have a 16ft Explorer (90" beam) and had no problems but saw lots of traffic each way. Not sure if your boat drafts that much more water but I didn't have a problem 3 weeks ago.

Good luck,

NC

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
