I was just wondering if anyone knew where the following were located on the lake:
The Wall
Sunnyside Sandbar
Sand Spit
Macadam's Bay
Just trying to identify these areas so I can identify similar structures.
Thanks!
I can help you with the last two. Both are not too far from Laniel. I can give you directions if u like
Yes...have fished Sunnyside [Depot] many, many times. Actually, the 'sand bar' is actually a different location than Sunnyside Depot, but very close. It's a tall hill of sorts seemingly made completely of sand. The feature off that in the water is a slow sloping sand bar...decent walleye location.
Thanks. I actually just found Bae Mac Adams on one of my maps near Laniel. Is Sand Spit near that?
Is the Sunnyside Depot near Sandy Portage??
When you fish the sand bars, are you fishing the bottom transition? or the flats?
Thanks again!
edit: OK, found Sandy Depot on the map just east of Corbeau.
Our group keeps going to Sandbar and I've never seen one caught in the few years I have gone. But, can't change others thoughts. Lol
Here you go...this should help. Of the locations ID'd here, we've pulled a lot of fish from Sunnyside, but gets a lot of boats...especially on weekends. We've caught fish at Sand Banks...dragging the jig. The point toward the main lake just west of Lindros' camp has produced too...big structure there. Within that area, we have ID'd other locations that we consider 'go to' spots...hence my comment that you never have to travel far from our cabin at Alwaki Lodge to get into walleyes, pike...even lakers. Those, however, are not necessarily made public. ;)

Thanks T-Bone. It's extremely unlikely I'll be fishing down in that area at all. I am more interested in what the structure is like so I know what to look for elsewhere. Sunnyside Depot and Sand Banks have the characteristics of classic Walleye spots. There are some nice shoals in that area too. Looks like a great place to fish. I'll definitely be putting Alwaki high on my list next time.
I'll say it this way; we've caught plenty of fish at Sunnyside and even the Sand Banks, but that's not typically where we go or the kind of structure we fish for 'eyes on Kipawa. There are times that are perfect for that structure, but not a majority of the time...
Early spring I find current areas work best and good size.
The Sand Spit is actually called "Sandy Portage" on the map. Its down a ways from MacAdams Bay. You haven't said when u are going or where u are staying. These areas are better at certain times of the year. If you can tell me when I can help u with the wear.
Thanks Riverrat, I do know where that place is. We are staying up in the NW arm at Two Moon Lodge the last week of June.
No fish around Corbeau Island. ;D ;D

Right...and it doesn't get any better between there and Hunter's Lake either... ???
don't bother with Hunter's Lake.....there's no fish there either.....;-)
THE WALL
The only one we reference as the wall is at the top end of the lake just to the right as entering Smith Bay

Thanks Rhybak. I probably got the reference from one of your groups many reports anyway.
I was wondering, does Smith Bay primarily have a sand bottom?
I have fished around Two Moon many years and you do not have to go far to find good fishing spots. I'm have been fishing Sunny Side for the last three years and it is along way from Sunny Side to Two Moon. I have found the fish size to be a lot larger in the Two Moon area. There are a lot of good spots in the Two Moon area. Good Luck with your fishing.
I would like to find out if anyone has heard about new regulations re: lake trout this year. I was up there last August and the rumor was that they were going to go to a catch and release only or stop lake trout fishing all together. Thank you in advance for any information. Sorry, I saved this to the wrong place.

Yes, I don't have any doubt the fishing nearby the camp will be just fine. I am not one to travel 30km to find fish, unless I have no choice. Just interested in why some spots hold fish, but I don't know where the spots are located ;).
Thanks!
There are other spots with similar names you have mentioned that are not on the map. These spots were nick names for certain spots from 40 years ago. I generally stay clear of the spots u have mentioned. The lake is large and there are many other great spots tha t hold large fish
