Week 6 June 21st - June 27th Greetings from Wabaskang Camp, yea, yea I know it has been a few weeks since my last update but the fishing has been so good I just didn’t want to brag about it. Never the less I think it is time to let everyone know what has been happening here at camp the last few weeks. Week six saw great numbers of big walleye and northern, the walleye bite is still shallow with stick baits and spinner baits catching most of the big fish. We had a camp loaded with anglers from Missouri that just love to cast for anything that chases a lure and they had some of the best fishing ever. Holmes Teegarden started things off by catching a feisty 21” walleye only to get clobbered by Bob Howard who landed a 24” beauty. Dan Howard released a 25” walleye, Mark Nihoris released his personal best walleye, a 27” fish, Brent Minett also released his personal best walleye, a 27 ½” fish, and Holmes Teegarden also caught a 24” walleye later in the week. Almost all the big fish were caught on artificial lures but the top three including Colleen Hoover’s 28” beauty were caught on live bait. All the fish were in less than 15’ of water and were caught at almost any time of the day. We are seeing great numbers of walleyes and many different year classes this season, the water level is very high and the bait fish are tucking tight to the shore where they can hide in the flooded rocks and tree roots, fish shallow and you will have great success. Our northern fishing saw a big improvement from the week before, we had fish caught on stick baits, crank baits and large tube jigs. The best color was a fire tiger or clown color, old timer Chuck Zender was proud of his 22” northern the first day but shortly after he reported his nice catch Sam Pickle plowed into a 38 ¾” monster, other nice fish belonged to, K.C. Hendrix, he released a 38” northern, Kyle Ulrich released a 39” monster, Roy Green released a 40” brute, Joel Sandager released a 35” fish, Rich Zender released a 34” fish, and Dan Howard released the big northern of the week, a whopping 41 ½” fish, great job Dan. The weeds are just starting to emerge from the shallow water and we should see some fantastic fishing for many weeks to come, just find the bait fish and you will catch the northern and walleyes. Bass fishing continued to impress our guests, most were caught on spinner baits and small crank baits but the old bobber and worm method worked as well. Dylan Bradahl released an 18” bass; Braden Lowes released a 19” monster to take top honors this week. We did have a monster crappie caught this week by Josh Jones, it measured 11” and was caught down in Keynote Lake. Another interesting thing we saw this week was the number of decent trout caught, Braden Lowes seemed to know what he was doing because he caught a 26” trout and guided his cousins Austin and Matt to a nice 29” fish, Guy Lowes also caught a decent 23” trout. Lots to tell you about week seven shortly, w are still seeing rainy weather and windy days but the forecast looks promising, I will update again very soon, I promise, time to get back to work now, Jim
