Few questions from a newcomer

Hi all,

I'm currently camping on the southern arm of kipawa and not having much success.  From what I read it seems the southeast arm of the lake is probably a better area? Anyone know of a place to launch?

I've tried pretty much everything in the south end without much success (only 4 so far), including downright at 30, harnesses,  jigging, etc. Only action was at sundown. Is there something else I should try?

Any tips are appreciated!

You can launch at Mungo Depot; ask Corina at Kipawa Bait and Tackle how to get down there; that puts you between Butney Narrows and Red Pine Chute in the SE arm. Lots of fertile territory down there. I'd be jigging on dropoffs or shoals...maybe 25 fow...spot on the spot locations. Good luck...

Water turnover has likely begun to happen. Could be sending the fish deep at sun up times. Try off of mid lake shoals in deeper than 30ft or off of points adjacent to deep water. Try 1/4oz jig tipped with rubber grub and 1/2 a worm. Or try trolling with deep diving crank baits like a shad rap or a reef runner. Good,luck.

I just got back from Kipawa.  They are schooled up sitting in about 25 feet of water.  The bit has been the best at sundown or a little before.  During the day they are pretty sluggish and I personally wouldn't waste my time.  I was pretty cold today. Have fun

Same as a couple weeks ago. Jig worm or Power Minnow.
