i bought my new ice castle this spring, and im just curious on some information for the up coming season

Where do most of you go out on?

Where can a guy hit up a shower?

I have always stayed in a house that was rented from a resort, so just curious now that i have my own house!

Thanks all

We went out of JR's and Mort's Dock last year and definately would go back! Roger's seems to have more ammentity's than others, but I know the farther west we went last year for us the better fishing we had. Alot of that could be due to the weather though! I know I can't wait for this year! One trip had us talking about another and after the second trip we were hooked!

I always go out of Hillmans now. Great fishing, super wide safe road(as safe as ice roads go), and if the ice allows they cover a ton of the North shore. West Winds has clean private shower rooms a 1/4 mile up the Hwy. They also have good food and plenty of drinks if that is your thing. West winds also has a road, so you could get it all out of one place if you want. I have just had a lot of luck going out of Hillmans wink

I am surprised for the money spent some wheelhouses don't have portable showers. Thousands of dollars spent and a shower is always the hitch.

chuckle....snort.....B n S, keep in mind how many people were around that house you rented. Yes, you were out of the pizza delivery area; no, there were not any igloo bars thumping out dance music on the way out, but for sure you did not see the meandering ice castle caravan either. Personally, would first see how the lake sets up, and then see what your options are as far reputable/safe road systems vs the amenities you desire.

$5 token you buy at the bar or the bait shop at west winds. The shower is timed, I think it is 5 minutes. 5 minutes is plenty for me, I usually shut it off before it runs out. On the days I know I am going to shower, I usually wait until the 2nd cup of coffee is about to kick in and hop in the truck and go. Nice to use a flushable toilet after a few days on the ice sick

Not sure what the other resorts charge.

The showers at Rogers resort are 5 dollars with soap and towel. They are cleaned daily and have to be one of the friendliest resorts on the lake. Good luck fishing.

hmmm....5 bucks a shower? I might just have to start a little side business! Long as I'm paying to keep the water on at the cabin I might as well get my road fees covered!

course I'm not all that friendly...

Pushbutton makes a valid point about just where the lake is easily accessible, and don't have a 30' crack that isn't easily crossed! Taking a shower in an RV edition is possible...just don't want to freeze it in when emptying the grey water...lol heck, a washcloth and some strong deodorant would be fine...Oh wait, skip the deodorant and maybe the crowds will stay away from your crappie hole laugh

looks like from the research that i have done, westwind and rodgers are the only ones that have showers, and there 5 bucks to shower. IMO its worth that for a 3-4 day stink bomb!! Plus, when i bring my wife along, shes gonna wanta do that anyways.

      Did you have any luck?     I got a bird but didn’t really do much for pics worth showing.

      It depends on a lot of factors, I suppose.   I hung on to my last gas auger for a few years after getting into electric but I never used it so I finally sold it.  Haven’t missed it one bit.  You bet it was reliable though.  Still started on the second pull for the new owner.   After trying several options in the electric world, I’m currently settled on a Strikemaster 40V with Liteflight bits.  With 2 fully charged batteries, I fish all day in Canada, cutting 10 inch holes.     What I’ll agree with is, if you search by drilling and flasher sonar, you will probably be more comfortable with the run time of a gas auger.  When you start incorporating GPS mapping, forward facing sonar, and saved waypoints, you don’t need to Swiss cheese every spot you fish.  I can still run through both batteries when the fishing isn’t great but I never feel like I have to count my holes.  It’s more like: Did I need the second battery before the middle part of our fishing hours?  If I still can’t catch fish after running out 2 batteries, it doesn’t matter cuz the fish just ain’t biting.   That’s fishing on the dark side! 😉
