It may be hard to fish
in heavy waves, but
research shows that it
can be very productive.
By reviewing the diagram
above, you’ll note
we have an extremely
heavy wind blowing
from the northwest. It is
pounding in on a lake
point which houses walleye
along the lake’s outer
shoreline. Such action
pushes any baitfish along
that weedy shoreline ‘C’
west into the protection
of the large rocks on the
point or the bay behind
it. This action by the
baitfish causes lake-held
walleye (deeper water) to
move up shallow and
onto the point to feed on
the disorganized schools of baitfish. At the same time, northern pike in the weedy bay
‘D’ come out to meet and feed on the migration of wind-pushed baitfish. The pike will
stage and feed at the point marked ‘B’ on the diagram, while the walleye will feed mostly
along the 4 to 6 foot drop-off at the point marked ‘A’. Working such structure is accomplished
by using
jig and spinner
combos or by
using medium
lipped crankbaits.

GAPEN’S
ONE AND ONLY
‘Bobber’ Anne
GET TO
KNOW HER
The Gapen Company believes Anne Orth is
a very experienced and informed outdoor
sportsperson in America.
Born August 22, 1958 in Melrose
Minnesota, Anne spent much of her early life
on her parents’ farm. Here she learned to
hunt and fish in the local creeks and farmland.
At the age of 25, she shot her first deer,
at 26 Anne obtained a pilots license and at
28, her first bear.
Over the years Anne has become a competitive
pistol shooter, ranking high in the
midwest shooting standing. Canoeing,
camping and wilderness exploring have all
become her repertoire.
‘Bobber’ Anne, as she’s known within
the fishing community, has fished extensively
throughout North and South
America boating trophy northern pike,
laketrout, salmon, arctic grayling, bass,
tarpon, billfish and the giant catfish of
Venezuela.

gives seminars to
children at sports
shows on how to
fish and is a frequent
guest on
numerous radio
shows.
The Gapen Co. is
very proud of their
spokesperson and salesperson,
so proud that we had ‘Bobber’ Anne do
an outdoor cookbook on fish, fowl and game.
(See next page). Why? Because one of
‘Bobber’ Anne’s other hobbies is cooking,
and “WOW” she’s great at that too!
