Plugging Two Resorts (West Battle/Ottertail)

I am going to plug both of these resorts because I found them off of this site so I'm going to assume it's okay - I get nothing out of this! smile.gif

On opening weekend I stayed at Sand Bay Resort on West Battle Lake. The opener was cold and the fishing was slow, but I had a good time. The cabin was clean and was plenty of room for 4 people (we had 3) and I'm sure that if the weather had cooperated we would have had a great time. The owners were really nice.

This past weekend I stayed on Ottertail at Three Seasons Resort with my gf. She and I had a great time. I got there Friday night and caught a walleye within 15 minutes of putting my boat in the water. It was a small guy, about 12", so I threw him back.

My girlfriend showed up early so my fishing time Friday was over after about 15 minutes.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday were SLOW. We tried everything - rapalas, shiners on plain hooks, shiners on chartreuse hooks, shiners on jigs of every color, shiners on spinners, leeches on all of the above.

To be fair, we did have some bites but didn't boat any fish (I don't know how good my gf is at feeling bites and I figure that as long as she's willing to go fishing with me for 6 hours/day 3 days in a row, I can NOT criticize...). We did see a few people around us catching them, so I think it just slowed down for a day or two.

Today it was windy and we just went out and drifted and enjoyed the sun - I had the depth finder on and kept marking fish in the 30 and 40 foot range. I didn't see any in the shallower water. I think this is normal for sunny days though.

I was at Three Seasons this past weekend also, We had a great three and half days of fishing.. Were you the couple in the blue Starcraft ? We were catching our fish in 10 - 11 feet of water. Monday Between 9 and noon was our best time and at dusk is very active too.

Three Seasons Resort is a great place to go, Great host!! They really make you feel welcome!!

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
