Thread: Wappapello?

Wapp can give up some good crappie. Two pounders aren't uncommon in the spring. Get a map of the lake and trust the channel buoys. It can get shallow fast if you get out of the channel farther up the river. Jigs and minnows work real well.

Good to know. I was down there a couple weeks ago but didn't get to fish. We did have a boat and a "tour guide" and he was showing me the contours of the lake on electronics. It's crazy how it will go from 6 feet to 40 feet in the matter of 10 feet.

fished wap on thurs. started at 615am fished until 1pm, had 4 keeps. never could get into the fish or figure out any pattern. tried fishing deep and shallow in deep water that didnt work. tried fishing shallow water 8ft or less. thats where i caught all the keeps i had but one came in 10 ft. had giant buffalo start coming up all around me looked like dolphins coming out the water. finally snagged one bout 30 lbs and broke him off before he did more damage to my other lines. wap is def a fun lake to fish its hard to go and not at least catch lots of dinks. like speck said learn the lake bc 6fow now will b 6" come february. ive stood in the mid of the lake on a sand bar, in knee boots, in march before. follow the bouys and you will b fine. they may look like u r gonna hit the bank but trust me its the channel. for what its worth chartreuse jigs tipped w minnows is what worked best for me.

Good to know. That channel is crazy. I'll agree to that!
