WARNING ..LAKE WPG PICTURE OVERLOAD..
« on: Mar 18, 2014, 02:08 AM »
Kinda don't know where to start this.... i do know that Lake WPG is one of the best walleyes fisheries in the world...

sorry to the guys who are struggling to catch..  cold weather has plagued the province of Manitoba.. think cold weather is to blame for crappy fishing.
 the fish are there ,,,  there's  invisible forces that are making these fish have lock jaw.. 
well the cold weather is letting up and the walleye bite is turning on... i mean ON.... 

i did two back to back fishing trips to lake wpg with my two Americas friends,
they asked for alittle help so i gave them a few tips and pointer and was glad to show these great guys are back yard fishing pond(lake wpg

FIRST DAY was epic.  colder that $%@&.. but we came out to fish... we travel purden creek trail.... holy crap worst creek trial in the world..
im sure a few sleds shocks are shot after riding that joke of a trail..   (never again) 
the cold forced us to anchor down to one area and we stayed put....  man that was a good call .  massive school came swimming by and took out all the fishing lines..  we were all yelling for help , but no one could help cause we were all fighting  a fish...  stupid fun lol... 

rattles baits caught a few , but seem to scare off more then caught,  jigging spoons did alright..  but JIGS AND MINNOWS were the dynamite

rest is history.  pictures will explain the rest.

DAY TWO- ST PATRICK DAY...  well whats better then to catch MONSTER GREENBACKS on st patty day...
 4 of us set up shop on a spot we studied on our navionics  maping app..  its a must get!!  so we meet up , shoot met up with a local celebrity BIG CHINA (garth)  cool dude .. talk with this guy if you see him..   
anyways we worked our spot for a bit with no luck.. we were just about to move when the magic button turned on... our flashers lit up and we all went quiet and worked our  secret lure( jig and minnows.)
FISH ON.... OH WAIT , FISH ON HERE..  OH BIG MARK .. BIG BIG MARK , HOLY CRAP HUGE MARK... FISH ON..   
this was what we said for 5 hours straight .... 
we hit the mother load of piggy pig walleyes..   nothing under 24"  (we ate that one, smallest we could get) 

DON'T GIVE UP GUYS..  IF YOUR NOT CATCHING ,BUT MARKING  . STAY PUT!! AND CHANGE YOU LURE PRESENTATION ..  work your tackle box out.. try this and try that,  if all else fails, deadstick jigs and minnows , then when you see a mark on the flasher slow lift and lightly jiggle it..

today was a great day weather fish and great laughs , plus the great shore lunch we had .. fresher then fresh....   
wish i could type everything ,   tired..

biggest fish wasnt measure , measuring tape was to far away to get. we didnt want to kill the fish and release her as fast as we could..
we think 33" or you be the judge.  but most people limit out,  today we MASTERED OUT ..  woooo .  high five to my brothers today ... 
Wednesday lets do it again...

Another great post to invigorate those of us who only have little bit of time to get out.   I really like your posts - very detailed and geared to those that are like-minded - ie. willing to put the energy in but resource friendly.   I come from an earlier time when providing a lot of info often would ruin a spot and over-pressure the resource (a time when releasing little fish was the regs, not the big ones, and telling a friend would soon lead to fighting crowds) - nice to have someone out there sharing some ideas, as a real time saver.   

Hopefully your buddies aren't MAs and return the favour in some way.
