[maclennanchris]

Got an 11 pounder today, my bud got a 8.9 pounder and the rest were a combos of 4 to 7 pounders. Not a bad day.

[perchie15]

[perchie15]

What Is the access like over by fallis I'm thinking of heading over that way tomorrow


It's great had no problems, Was there today myself. A well packed path also.. Until u wanna get off it even then it's easy to get around

[alodar]

Excellent ill be out there tomorrow not sure where people are coming onto the Ice at though I don't see a boat launch labeled on my maps I'm sure I could drive around.d a bit and find it

[alodar]

If anyone wants to come say hi ill be the guy in the four wheel drive cavalier lol

[perchie15]

Excellent ill be out there tomorrow not sure where people are coming onto the Ice at though I don't see a boat launch labeled on my maps I'm sure I could drive around.d a bit and find it

Drive right threw fallis as u come off the highway keep heading towards the lake and then turn right and there's a sign on left side saying hamlet of fallis. Then pretty well follow the packed path/ ymmca signage

[alodar]

Awsome save me some fishing time thanks a lot bro

[perchie15]

Better directions... Turn down RR 52. Then turn right down 2nd ave keep going until u reach main street ud come to a yield sign turn left, cross train tracks turn left then ud end up on beach way. And just keep going str8 towards the lake ud be there in no time..

[perchie15]

No problem anytime. Good luck to u. I had a few today there nothing overly big... Might try by the town of wab tomorrow? Or another lake..

[alodar]

I've been over by town a lot with all kinds of different sizes but she's pretty traffic heavy

[lakerman]

anyone seeing decent number of whites cruising/hitting the lures, its always fun catching them until big mumma comes around. Its been alot of nothin in my usual spots.:angry3:

[alodar]

we saw 0 whites out by fallis lots of perch and pike... not just small ones either my biggest was a healthy 35 inches and weighed in at just under 13

[alodar]

Well 5 days in a row of insane action in fallis finally saw some whites caught em close to to the launch/drive access caught some tiny perch again aswell as some more shiners

[lakerman]

sunday can't come fast enough:fighting0030:

[alodar]

[alodar]

Scratch that last post lol...... mmmmmmm fishing

[alodar]

So It's safe to say your "WINNING". I'm bi-winning I win her I win there

[alodar]

I LOVE it when they take ur bait before tip up Is even set up man I just love wabamun. Get a flag land fish replace bait put In hole get a few feet from Target area and ......SMASH another fish on

[Alberta Bigbore]

I love it when fish nail the clamp on depth finder I have attached to the treble hook when just starting to set up height off the bottom... Without bait. walleye at pigeon are good for that.lol

[#4fisherman]

alodar -- great to meet you today. Thanks for the tips and the push. Obviously you're the Pike Man of Wabamun. I won't post the pic of the medium sized one I caught -- you're monsters are the ones that should be shown. :-)

[drbert]

going to wab in the morning what have u been using ti have such good luck

[maclennanchris]

:argue2:Was there today, pretty slow. One 10 pounder and a few others. We were there from 7 to 4. Guy pulls up right next to us and starts fishing in our holes so we left, never seen anyone that brazen out there before. I have a bit of a fuse when it comes to that bull****, so I guess it was just as well that we left.

[alodar]

I'll be there in the morning aswell out fallis feel free to come over to the cavalier and come fishing I've been useing everything archives smelt and herring all work it was slow for me too only 16 pike and only 12 over 10 lb

[diesel777]

Nice to meet you Alodar. Slow day indeed. Thanks for offering to drill some holes for me with you thirty year old auger, as my three year old one doesn't seem to want to send gas to the right place! Lol. I guess quality really does come with age. Good luck out here!

haha, if so, I'm the guy that was stuck in nothing with the green silverado on friday.

Today went well. slow start but it really picked up around 2, had to be a fish on every 10 minutes for a bit. left at five shortly after pulling in this guy.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a188/Side_Walk_When_She_Walks/IMG_0509-1.jpg

[alodar]

Congrats dude what'd she measure out to ?

[stephane]

the two guys beside me had a tape on them, I can't remember what it was exactly, weighted in just shy of 15 lbs

[alodar]

Just nailed another 7 well just under beats catching nothing but we missed a few bigguns or what we think were bigguns

[alodar]

the two guys beside me had a tape on them, I can't remember what it was exactly, weighted in just shy of 15 lbs

So it was close to 40 but not quite Haha coulda been 37- 38 but a Sweeeeet fish man I'm jealous I didn't get any bigguns yet today

[stephane]

Haha, are you still out there?

[alodar]

Haha, are you still out there?

Sure am dude

[drbert]

That's great probably right when I left

[alodar]

Yeah 10 after 5 got back here jidt had a double ueadrr of hammer.handles like 5 ish

[drbert]

Good job I have to go shopping for some gear before I go out to fish by u

[StinkBait]

we were out at wabamun today, ended up being fairly successful. My fish was the big one, 10lbs and 33 inches, till stephane pull his up.
Lotsa fun

[alodar]

You guys did just fine. drbert you don't NEED that gear but I use ot Cuz its better for using huge bait Hehe I was doing fine with the slightly smaller trebles and singles instead of with the trailers and premade leaders. I've only had 3 snap off but I believe they were monsters. Which is why I went the way I showed u so it wouldn't happen again,I find it works for me that's not saying its the only way that'll work

[drbert]

Let me know how u do tomorrow I have to work make me jealous

[alodar]

Let me know how u do tomorrow I have to work make me jealous

I'll keep everyone posted on my progress

[alodar]

Me too fishinggeek just rolled out and pulled up not far from me maybe his luck will rub off on me

[fishinggeek]

Was a slow day for me. managed 7 pike, all were nice though, 34 to 38inch. Missed my 40plus incher. had it swim by twice and nudge my bait, but didn't grab it. Bla. Looked BIG on the camera. Was nice to see a couple of burbot swim by. they looked very healthy, and around 5-7lbs. all in all a good day to get out and get some me time in.

[alodar]

Good to hear bro I had to leave before it snowed any more or I would not have made it out so much for less than one cm looks my fishing could be done for the season

[lakerman]

were you all out there, near that white truck pulling the trailer and slider on top, i was in the dark green taco,4 misses, one snapped line and had only 2 up the hole, 1-7lber, and 1-16ber ohh ya. best part all released healthy waiting to grow up a bit.heee heee
see ya out there next week:sHa_shakeshout:

[alodar]

I passed everyone I had to fly out of there to make any progress it snowed something like 5 cm and the wind filled in the trail I made I highly doubt I will be heading out any more unfortunately looks like no 40 incher for me I will probably drive out there on Tuesday if the weathers nice tomorrow and melts some snow there could be some hope yet. Alternatively unless I head out with someone with a 4wd I doubt Ill make it out so on thats note if anyones looking for a fishing partner through the week drop me a pm especially if your in the Edmonton area or near Wabamun I can. Meet up and do my best to trade my "secrets" not that any if it is really a secret I pretty much posted all of my methods openly in this thread I guess I'm just semi lucky and I'm happy to share that as well so hopefully it won't be The end of the hard water season for me

[maclennanchris]

Why dont you just drive there and walk out then?

[alodar]

Why dont you just drive there and walk out then?

Too much gear to walk out I guess I could get a sled haha but it seems there's no shortage of willing fishermen who enjoy company

[Jwood 456]

Hi my fishing partner and, I were out at wab yesterday straight off of the Fallis access. We fished on the drop off in about 10 FOW. We did allright and had 10 hits between the both of us. My fishing partner landed a nice sold 10lber that almost chewed through the 120lb braided line leader :scared0015:. PS from now on, I'm always using a wire leader. I also had another pike to the hole that looked like a good solid 10lber that got off when the hook hooked the corner of the hole. I also landed a small 4lber. Half of the bites seemed to 10ish lbers while the other half were hammerhandles. I was using smelts and herring. The the pike seemed to prefer the smelts at the first half of the time I was out there. Then they seemed to switch their preference to herring. I also talked some of the other anglers out there and I saw one of them release this nice sized 16lber.

BTW nice meeting you Alodor. Hope you land that 40lber soon.:sign0111:

Hope to see ya guys out there next weekend.

Were you guys near those guys in the white ford f150 on the west side of the point?

[Jwood 456]

Just decided to post some pictures of the 8 or 10lber my , my oldman, Aka member (S-wood 456) caught. The pike wasn't a true monster though it was still a dandy sized pike IMO. All of the pike landed, were released very healthy.

33767


BTW did you catch anymore good sized pike after I headed back to my fishing spot alodar?

[burbotman14]

I was also out on Sunday and we caught 5 in the 33 to 36 range. It is funny that you mentioned the two burbot because we caught two burbot, one was 6.2lbs and the other was 6.8lbs. They were both caught within 5 minutes.

We managed 7 over 10 lb so I suppose we did Hehe not big enough for a mention anymore as those pesky sub twenty Pounders are like an infestation actually they all might have been before your visit we did manage several after u walked back but like I said not worth the mention

[fish-slaughter]

Heres a couple we caught on Sunday was a very productive day don't think we went for that 15 min without a bite for about an 1.5-2 hours. A couple times after the tip up was hit and we missed em another would get hit and we would go over to get that on and when we were done dealing with that we would go set the other one up and there was a fish on again was a very good day of fishing for me and the lady!!!!The big one was 17LBS and just over 44" he really didnt want to come out of the water!!! And the one my lady is holdin was 11LBS and 34" long!! Smallest we got all day was 9LBS and we iced about 10!!!

[alodar]

Nice fish guys

[honda450]

my name is lacey. my dads name is Wayne. my moms name is Wendy. my bothers name is jesse.I am 9 years old.

[Jwood 456]

Nice fish. Fish-slaughter. Congrats. BTW where were you guys fishing?

BTW congrats on the 10+lbers as well alodar.

My fishing partner and I probably had 5 8 ish or 10lbers or bigger on our lines throughout the time I we were out there. Two of them got off right away on my fishing partner's perch hook. One of them bit right through my 50lb braided line. PS I wasn't using steel leader at the time because I wanted to be stealthy and have never had a pike cut me off on that line before. Had another one start bending my fishing rod right over and spat the hook. With another one, the hook hooked the corner of the hole and the first one that bit was successfuly landed. PS will have to carefully guide the hook away from the corner of the hole next time.

I remeber when you landed that hammerhandle that was just freshly attacked by a huge pike. I betcha that attacking pike could have easilly been a 40+''.

[Jwood 456]

Hope to head out Wab again this weekend so I can get into more doubled over rod and reel screaming action.:sHa_shakeshout:

Wish everybody that heads out there before the season closure including me to catch that illusive 20+lber.:):sHa_shakeshout:

[alodar]

Trying a new spot tomorrow let yas know how I do however its gunna be spot x...... lol

We were fishing out in front of the town to the right in 10-12FOW using 6-8" smelts. You should try fluorocarbon leaders its a little expensive for a roll but it works great! I have 30LBS test on all my tip ups and 20LBS on my rods. From what I seen on the camera they seem to hum and haw lookin at the steel leader before hitting it if they don't swim away but you cant even see the fluorocarbon and they just swim up and hit it!!!

Thanks for the tips fish-slaughter. I should definitely give the flourocarbon a try. I have been thinking about using flouro for a while too. I almost forgot too that I had some 20lb seagar flouro leader in my tackle box. I have used bait without with just 20 or 50lb braid tied straight to the bait and had too much cutoffs. As soon as I switched to steel leader, the rate of the bites went right down.

BTW I notice that the pike action picks up right in front of the town late in the season because the pike are moving towards the big shallow bays and shelfs to spawn IMO.

[lakerman]

question for ya

[alodar]

10 mins in first fish 33 inches 9 lb 11 oz grrrrr

[alodar]

Another day more fish no big ones landed goin again tomorrow
