Captn Tony	08/07/2017 06:28AM   Got home last Thursday, just haven't had time to report with Irish Fest going on and trying to get pickles canned. The trip was a great experience and we made it to Kawnipi this time. TRyied to get to Kawnipi in one day but got to Kenny Lake and it was 6:00 so decided to spend the night and head on to Kawnipi day 2. Anyhoo the fishing was fantastic and the scenery awesome. Thanks to everyone for your advice!

Of course, there were pike and bass in them, too. Unfortunately, the cabbage had not yet pushed out of the water, so we couldn't just paddle around and look for it. Our best bet was trolling until we contacted it and then throwing, well, anything through it and around the edges.
Captn Tony	07/23/2017 08:12AM   Thanks for the info. Friday can't come soon enough

mastertangler	07/22/2017 01:20PM   Kawanipi.........was a troll through lake for me while doing Hunters loop. I couldn't make any progress because within 5 minutes of throwing my lure back I had another fish. Certainly the most fishy water in the Q that I have been to.
QueticoMike	07/21/2017 07:46AM   Fish the saddles between islands up in the bays. Also try to find some reefs. Look for weeds. Fish out from points. Casting and trolling for me would mostly be gold J9 Rapala or gold Rapala Husky Jerk. Shad Raps will also work well. Jigging - fake leech or ZMAN Shadz with 1/8 oz or 1/4 jig head.
Captn Tony	07/20/2017 05:24PM   Fishing gurus. I will be heading up to Kawnipi in a week and have 2 questions. Aside from moving water, where should we be looking for eyes and when? I will carry 3 rigged poles when fishing. One casting, one trolling, and one jigging. What would you rig each pole with? Thanks,
MichiganMan	07/27/2017 09:24PM   Jigging can be productive for eyes on Kawnipi too. If you have electronics, that will help immensely if you want to jig.

lyontyl	08/11/2017 03:17PM   Fishing was great! Probably the best I have had in a long time. I was up with Capt Tony and my wife and here is a list of lures we used to catch fish: Walleye: Jig head w/white ring worm Jig head with white twister tail Flicker Shad in purple and gold Flicker Shad in silver white Zman Shad in clear with black and white speckles Jigging a silver blade bait Pike: White and red #4 Mepps 20-30 ft deep diving tail dancers Original Rapalas Top water baits on slack water of the falls as sun goes down. Bass: Pretty much any of the above Posted a few of the many fishing pictures we got. Kawnipi Rocks!
