Aug 30th - Sept 5th Greetings from Wabaskang Camp. Week 16 of the season is in the books and we saw great fishing and some beautiful weather. Our walleye bite continues to impress all our guests, the fish are moving deeper every few days and should be stacked up and hungry on all the deeper reefs and rubble/sand bars. The best bait continues to be a minnow and jig combo or a Lindy Rig and minnow. The best color of jig was pink early in the week and then a lime green or white worked well. Kip Elm started things off by catching a 21” walleye only to see Steve Mericle land a nice 23” fish. Kady Mericle, [no relation] caught a 24 ½” walleye only to have Tom Behl catch and release a beautiful 25 ½” fish. Dan Brandt had a good week as well, he caught a 24” fish but the top fish of the week belongs to Curt Brandt, he released a 28 ½” trophy, he wins the hat for the week and bragging rights until next season, great job Curt! Our northern fishing was steady most of the week with the biggest fish being caught on big baits like a Bulldog or Sandcat. The weeds are getting soft and turning brown but some weeds still hold good fish if there are bait fish nearby. Marlene Miller released a 31” fish and Kip Elm released a chunky 32” northern. Joel Demro only managed a 37 ½” fish this week which is a little unusual for him since he usually catches plenty of 38” + northern when he is in camp. Tom Behl had a great week, he released a 37” northern to have bragging rights in his group, Larry Pencock is taking a 37” northern home to mount, J.J. Hansel released a 39” and a 40 ¾” fish but Steve Young was the guy to beat this week, he released a 41” monster to win the hat for the week. Our bass fishing was spotty but many were caught by using jigs and minnows in deep water along the reefs, Brian Pottenbaum released a 17 ½” fish, Jim Prather caught a monster 19 ¼: bass to take top honors for the week, other nice bass were caught by Marty Kunkel, he released a nice 18” bass and Kip Elm is taking a trophy 19” bass home for the wall. We did have one lake trout caught this week by Dave Demro, he managed to land and release a chunky 22 ½” fish to take top honors for the week, great job Dave. Next week we will see cooler weather and hungrier fish, stay tuned for big things next week, talk again soon, Jim from Wabaskang.
