Wapo and Bear trap

[walleyewacker]

I would like some help with anything that swims out there. Girlfriend has a cabin out there and I will be out there some weekend soon. Anything possible with walleyes, bass, or muskies? I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

It's a good lake, although not as good as it used to be. Walleye fishing can be real good at times, lots of bass, and there's a few muskies in there too. Nice panfish in there as well.

Haven't been to Wappo in a while, but used to fish there for a week every year when I was younger. For crappies, find weeds and toss red/white or purple/white tubes - slow, steady retrieve. Fish shorelines for bass on topwater in evenings. For eyes, go with a slip bobber and jumbo leech - we used to fish the western part of the lake, sorta near the spillway. Several humps surrounded by 30ft or so of water, should be on a lake map. Keep your eyes open for white bass bustin bait on top!

How high on the humps?

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

They do pretty well pullin raps on the north end of Wapi this time of year. I never had much luck for the Waldo's on BearTrap but I can tell you there's some real nice bull gills in that lake. Get in that bay and find some weeds. They should be snappin this time of year.

If I remember right, some of the shallower humps top out around 10ft and will have some weed growth later. I believe there are 3 separate humps. Around 15ft deep seemed to work good, but you gotta experiment some. Do you have a lake map and does it show those humps?

I have a map and it looks like there are quite a few offshore humps throughout the lake. Looks like I will be goin out there sunday.

I was out on Wapo for a few hours Sat afternoon and evening...caught one eye just a hair over 15" (released) and about 12 bass, not too bad of a half day...

went out to wapo on last night, fished around the island on the north end and off the humps, on nice small mouth, no walleyes. I marked a lot of fish but no luck. anyone else having any luck out there.

I spent last weekend out there. Caught plenty of bass in the thick weeds on bear trap, biggest were going 3lbs. Worked all weekend for a muskie and never saw a fish. Above anything I would love to hook into a muskie out here and if anyone could help that would be great. I never did spend too much time on wapo, mostly just stayed on bear trap. The bass were definatly shallow and in the thick, slugos and frogs on top were the best.

Try the weedline on the west side of Wapo for musky, or the weeds out from the Bible camp.
