I’m wide open for suggestions! I will be up at a cabin on Wapo the whole weekend… where else might you suggest?

Walleyes? What else is there?

Anybody fish Wappogasset(sp?) much? A buddy of mine has a cabin on the lake, never really caught much there. Any help with this lake would be much appreciated!

Hey Mike! No, I really haven’t been out much- working a lot though. Yipee! Anyway, the past 2 times i’ve been out I have been to Waconia- pretty much just small crappies, with a few 12″+ fish mixed in… I did clean out the garage the other day and got the boat one step closer to heading down to the river! Man… this working stuff is enough to kill a guy!

Maxxum… I have owned both, MinnKota is the way to go! I have 4-5 buddies that have the Maxxum too, all of them love them too. You just can’t go wrong. On the flip side, I am very curious to see how Motor Guide does with the new PTS or whatever they call it; the old Pinpoint technology. I would strongly reccomend the Maxxum- with the longest shaft you can get.

I was told that the Reel Bottom paper maps are exactly what you see on your GPS… that’s what I’m looking for.

I have “heard” that the Reel Bottom chips/software… is extremely accurate and that is the way to go… have you used their paper maps and pulled coordinates off of there? I did on Leech and they were dead nuts on…

I believe it’s the NavChart… it’s the newer(1yr+) one that has like 120 lakes or something- regional chip I think they called it. Just seems relatively inaccurate. What’s your experience?

Now yer talkin’!

I hear ya Mike… seems to be a bunch of people catching a few little fish. Oh well, just think… only 114 days until opener! ICK! Wow, only trying to make a joke and I just bummed myself out! Sorry. Anyway, on that note, see ya out there I guess…

Well, we didn’t make it out until late afternoon yesterday… and man was it COLD! We got set up on a 16- 20′ break and dropped the camera down… PERCH EVERYWHERE! These walleyes are eating good. I bet there was over 100 perch below the house- simply incredible, I don’t think I have ever seen so many perch. We ended up with 6 walleyes and a hammer handle northern- and of course a few perch. All of the walleyes were between 10-13″. What happened to all of the big girls? Anyone else do anything this weekend?

I am heading out for the day on Sunday… anyone have any info for me? I think we are going to try to get some pike during the day, and then walters in the evening. Help?!

Muskie bait I guess? Mmmmm!

I was out Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we got a few walleyes in about 19’… 24″ being the biggest. We also got a few smaller eaters. Sunday we went out and tried a bit deeper- like 25′- NOTHING! Didn’t even mark one fish on the Vex.

Thanks Mike… I will give that a try. I am not able to get out as much as i’d like to… so I might not be able to make it out until Thursday. I am headed up to Mille Lacs for the weekend- pretty pumped about that.

Doesn’t anyone make it out anymore? LOL I made it out again out of Excelsior Bay… apparently someone told somebody they were biting out there! There were plenty of fishermen… but no walleyes! Between a few hours on Friday night, and most of the day Saturday we managed to get a whole 3 walters…
I think I need to scope out a new area… hmmm.
On a brighter note- I hear they been getting some crappies out on Waconia. Another fish house city over there too I’m sure.

Thanks Scott… do you think the ice will be okay for driving by the weekend? Just trying to plan ahead. Thanks!

Anybody else been out?

Well, we made it out early on Sunday morning… caught a couple walleyes(14″ and 16″)and several snakes. The action wasn’t too good. Just about all of the fish came between 6:45 and 7:30. After that, it was all dink perch. We put the camera down for a while- man there are a lot of perch down there! Anyone else get out?

Thanks guys… I will let you know how it goes. I am trying to get out tomorrow morning too!

Throw me in the hat! Thanks! Happy Holidays!

Nice report Scott! Hey, a few of us were just talking about coming up that way Jan 1-3… what kind of options do you have for us? Let me know!

Thanks for the response James… I saw a bunch of people around the head of the lake a couple weekends ago. I figured something must have been going on there. So nothing on the lake huh? Bogus Point area pullin’ cranks?

Real nice job Jarrad! I really appreciate your information. I will give it a try this weekend and let everyone know how I did on Monday. Thanks again!

Thanks Jon, I have read that… so I guess I have some idea, but can anyone tell me more specifics? Should I be casting crankbaits to the face of the wingdam? Should I be using livebait? What might I expect for depths? Can I go over the top of most of them with my boat? Are they marked at all? Hmmm…

Thanks for the info… Jon is the get together open to anyone? Is that on Saturday?
Also, how do I get a pic on the side of my post like you guys? Tried a JPEG, didn’t seem to work?
