I have been fishing and Kayaking down in the Fergus - Ottertail - Pelican Rapids area every weekend here for about a month.

I am getting sick of the standard old fast food joints.

Post your favorite places to get some good grub.

the cactus in perham is a good spot. excellent fish fry.

in fergus, if you like mexican, don pablos (not the chain) is good.

the underwood legion has the peterwich sandwich, but you have to deal with the likes of ChuckN or Gissert frequenting the establishment shocked.giftongue.gifgrin.gif

Deal with us, LOL. Usually we are just sitting there, wondering what Hjalmer Tordenskjold will do or or say next. One never knows.....

Seriously, the Underwood Legion has some good chow. The Peterwich as mentioned, and every Saturday you can geta fantastic prime rib sandwich and fries for about 7 bucks. Better get there in the afternoon, they sometimes sell out early.

For a good breakfast, it is hard to beat the Viking in downtown Fergus.

Zorbaz on Ottertail lake is also very good, and you can kayak right to their dock.

How about the Dalton Cafe? They whip up some pretty nice pancakes, SOS, etc. and they now offer pizza. Prime rib on Sunday. Never hear anyone talk about the place but they seem to keep busy. crazy.gif

I like that Chinese place in Fergus where the Sandpiper used to be, right next to Home Depot. The name escapes me, but they have a Mongolian Grill (like Khan's mongolian) that my wife and I really like. Their Buffet food isn't bad either. Mabel Murphy's in Fergus is also good, and I was just at Amor Rumors in Amor and had a fantastic Bacon Cheeseburger (with Fried onions or course). I'll be going back there.

If you're on Lida, hit Maple Beach Resort. Hands down best burger baskets in the county. If you're over by Battle Lake, go to Lida (see above).

Maple beach resort, I remember that place, when are they open? I always seem to be by there at the wrong times, but yeah they used to (and probably still do) have some of the best burgers.

I can't really argue with you about the best burger baskets in all of OT county, as I haven't sampled all of them. However, Billy's Corner Bar in Vergas is pretty well known for outstanding burgers.

I always enjoyed eating at Stubs in Battle Lake. Their walleye is great, and their steaks are very good as well.

Stubs is by far the best food, expensive but always good. Prime rib is best around!

Got to get to the burger joint on Lida this year have heard just great things.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
