Awesome day at wab

fishfofun · #1 06-15-2014, 02:14 AM

So me and my buddy took my boat out to wabamun the last 2 weekends and caught about 80 pike and walleye together. The biggest one we caught was just a little over 10 pounds. Today we caught a lot of little ones an some decent medium size one. But the next time I go I want to target so big big pike. I'm gonna head over to the plant and try my luck over there.i would love to catch a pike around 15-20lbs god that would be the most amazing feeling ever. I'll be heading out next weekend. Any tips would be muchly appreciated.

That's part of the hunt, I've been looking for over a year. Find the structure find the fish I have heard of a few large ones caught around moonlight bay and sundance.

Or even easier go out and find a big black lund with a 150 hp honda on the back and fish next to him, he won't mind

Next weekend I'm gonna head out again and try some big spoons and big rapalas. I haven't fished much of the deeper waters there but I'm gonna spend a whole day trying next weekend. I hope I catch me a monster lol. God the 10lb I caught was awesome I could only imagine one that was like 15-20 lbs. anyone know the biggest one caught from there recently?

Have you tried Storm Thundersticks? The bigger the better, deep diving crank baits are so overlooked - especially rattlin' baits.

So overlooked........solid gold in most Pike fisheries I've fished. The best part is covering tons of water trolling with the big engine. Scout structure in 15 - 20' and run some laps.....

2 of the more experianced fishermen i know do this to lure the big ones in.....
.... -jr- puts his undershorts on backwards. it's a ritual of his to appease the fish gods.
.... yee-haw fishes near the cn tracks and his ritual is to moon the train conductors.
funny what some anglers will do to catch a fish.

Tip #1 Leave the boat launch early in the morning like 430 am in the dark.
Tip #2 Be at your honey hole before sun comes up.
Tip #3 Wait for the Train ...yes the train. They bite when it rumbles past.
Tip # 4 Troll with the biggest 7 inch spoon you have and hold on .(five of diamonds)
Tip # 5 post your picture.

I've got some pretty decent size crank baits that I've never used before and some pretty big spoons. What kind of lb test line should I have? I only have 20lb right now. I'm gonna go this week and buy some nice big lures. I think I'm gonna try in between the sundance plant and that other plant I have seen. Hopefully just hopefully I'll nab me a nice big one.

Location is important, but technique is the clincher.

Do some online research on how to target big pike.

There's lots to read.

I have been doing doing a lot of reading and watchin a lot of vids that people post from wabamun. I'll nab me a big pike one of these days there. That's the only place I fish except the nsr but I haven't been having any luck there yet, still pretty murky there
