Going to Kipawa

[rsobotka]

Just wanted to take a minute and say thanks to everyone out here and all of the advise and material I have been able get and read off of the forum over the past couple of weeks. I'm super lucky and excited to be heading up to Kipawa this Saturday for a quick 3 day adventure in hopes of being more successful then last year.
We will be staying at Alwaki and I'm not all that familiar with the area,but we plan on giving it out best shoot . I've printed off some maps and circled a few areas of interest for some jigging and trolling. Plan is to pick a spot we are interested in to jig at and troll from Alwaki (either shoreline)  until we get there. Hopefully timing is right and we can pull a few eye's out for dinner .
I'm loving this because I've finally got the bug in me again . Each day that passes the harder it is to get to sleep just thinking about getting up there . I love being able to take my kids(10yrs & 8yrs) up to a lake that my Dad would take me too and seeing the excitement in their eyes Plus a good friend of mine Tony who absolutely loved it last year(His First time on Kipawa).
We haven't even made it up there yet and I'm excited to Book a week with Brian and Tina at Alwaki for next summer(That will be for a week). 
Hope that some day I can meet up with a few of you guys from the forum up there in the future. Perhaps get a few pointers over a few wobbly pops.

Thanks again to everyone with the information that you put out here and wish us the best of luck on our little adventure.

Cheers.

Good luck! From what I hear Alwaki is a awesome camp.

Good luck! Look forward to reading a trip report for those of us that can't get up there.

Good luck on your trip. I'm looking forward to your report. Our crew was supposed to be at Alwaki (our first trip there) this week, but border closure changed all that. We're going to Oneida, here in NY, next week, hoping to latch onto a few walleyes. Looking forward to a new, but different, adventure with the boys, and we'll start talking about our return to Canada in 2021.

@rsobotka good choice with Alwaki. Its a fist rate, very well run camp, by very nice folk. Brian will point out places to jig, make sure you have a map. Enjoy your get away.

Hi rsobotka:
I'm leaving tomorrow till Monday to Camp Kipawa with 2 friends (all Leaf Fans  ). Planning on Fishing many areas - 1st time for the friends and I want to show them as much of the lake, as possible. My afternoon/evening plans are fishing areas near Dead Bear Bay, Sandbanks and dropping anchor @ Sunnyside in the evening. We'll be in a Black/Grey Stratos with a 200 Evinrude. As per Hodgey, I'm sure Brian will direct you to the right places. If you spot us drop by.
Good Luck!!
Ray.

Hodgey1 We actually stayed at Alwaki last year for a quick 3 days . It was great and a part of the lake I had never fished in, So it was a challenge and only pulled out a few(Enough for one fry) ,but it was so well worth it. Brian was great and looking forward to seeing him again in a couple. I'm like a kid a few days before Christmas

TBIRD  The four of us my two little guys and buddy will be floating around in one of Brians Alwaki boats(Hope to have my own boat next year) and we will most definitely keep an eye out for you. Safe travels and good luck as well.

rsobotka have a great trip.  Do u have any silver/blue hot n tots or green in your tackle box.  This year was completely on fire trolling them.  If you want to pm me I can try and send u some specific spots to troll or jig.

Hi Greg:
It's not mine - it's my neighbors; he and the other guy, we're going with, have been doing Bass tournaments in the Kawartha Lakes for years. I've fished with them a few times around Bancroft. Bass fishing really isn't my bag - I prefer dropping the anchor, tipping my red/white Nipissing jig with a leech, rest my rod on the seat, open a beer and wait for the action

Oh can I relate to that!
