Has anyone stayed out at Green Acres at Arnesons ?  I guess it is like a couple miles away.  So you drive in each morning.

But they book the room so I was just kind of curious if any one had tried that.  Is it a painful as it sounds?

Green Acres is an overflow.  If they are booked solid or are holding the large cabins for large parties they will book you into Green Acres it is a couple miles away.  Your still booked with Arnesens it's just a satellite sleeping arrangement.  You use the same lodge,  transportation,  houses, guides,  ect.  I'll know more after the 25th.

Actually Vman we'll probably see you around the grounds we'll be up the 25th fishing the 26th and 27th.  I'll be the old guy with a Vexilar hat even though I use a Marcum.  Or my Lund hat I did buy a lund last year.  I can never make up my mind.

Yes it is. They do not plow a road out. I have seen Snowmobiles pulling portables. I am not sure what the policy is on that. I was just there a week ago.

If you want to fish that area and want to drive out you can try Dales fish house rentals right next store. They do plow roads to the same lake area. ( this is the old  Babblers)

was up Feb 26th through the 28th in a sleeper fishing 25 fow. Fishing to say the least was very very tough! 6 on Friday ,

6 Saturday and 7 Sunday morning. We only threw back 3. They are limited by the crack that opened up but the service is still top notch. I talked to friends while we were up there who were fishing off Long Point and off Pine Island somewhere not sure how far out and they did about as good as we did. 90% of the fish we did catch came on a stop sign with the bloodline design on it. Just barely twitch is an inch or 2 off bottom seem to work the best. Only a couple typical raps most was you could just feel weight when you went to twitch the spoon. Didn't seem to want anything to do with rattle spoons at all and dead sticks were just that dead.

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      MN Fishing Opener Looking Good

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.
