Ok, this may sound pretty petty, but I've been burned...literally, by the dog days of summer staying at a place without air. Our last vacation was 5 years back in Park Rapids and it was 100F at 11:00 at night without a breeze. It sucked big time, we actually left early since the lake was in full bloom from the heat. It was horrible!

Does anyone know of any decent resorts on Cass that have a good beach, cabins with air, and decent digs?

It seems like we get a wish list of resorts on here every week... There two things I would do. First try to do a search on the Cass forum to see all the different threads about the local resorts. Then second I would check with Horseshoe Resort, Wishbone Resort or Sunset Cove. They are the sponsors here on FM. There are other resorts out there on Cass, but these three put their time and money into this website. I hope this helps and if you have any further questions feel free to drop me an email in my sig below.

Horseshoe: (877) 634-1078

Wishbone: (218) 335-2320

Sunset Cove: (218) 335-2480

Good Luck...

Hawk,

I would second Wishbone and Horseshoe. Our family stays in about 4 cabins (25 people)and most of them are either brand new or remodeled and many have ac. Ours is only two years old and while it does not have ac it has ceiling fans in every room and they do a pretty good job. The only problem with Wishbone might be availability! I know that we go the last week of July and the first week of August and they are booked solid. Our overflow of family has stayed at the Horseshoe and some are staying there this year as well. Clark has done a great job at the Horseshoe since taking it over several years ago and he has remodeled many of the cabins and built new ones as well and many have ac as well. I can not speak for Sunset Cove but you can't go wrong at the Horseshoe or Wishbone!

Thanks guys, we ended up booking at Lost Acres on Kitchi and found a couple of cabins, one with air, for the last week of July. I was hard to find a two cabins on the main lake during July (as expected).

If it gets too ungodly hot we'll need to break out some cots for the in-laws to sleep in (they took the one without air). I haven't fished Kitchi in 20 years so it should be interesting. I figured it would likely have a better panfish bite for the kids and I'd still be able to run to Cass if need be. We'll see, we just might start a family tradition!

So what kind of walleye pattern exists on the lakes in the latter days of summer? Would a guy do any good corking with a crew in the evening or trolling plugs over the flats?

Hawk,

I would vote for the second choice and keep it shallow. Good Luck, you will have to fight me for those elusive walleye as our family will be up there the last week of July as well! LOL

You might also consider Lake Andrusia right next to Cass. Check out Finn-n-Feather resort. Really nice cabins with AIR and lots of trees will all keep you cool.

I stay on Andrusia every winter for a week. Awesome fishing, and awesome people.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. 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. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   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...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
