Hi fellow fm'ers,

I am planning a family trip to the north shore for mid june. My wife knows some folks in silver bay that we will be visiting while we are there so I was thinking something between two harbors and grand marias would be ideal. I am also hoping to get a day on superior going after some lakers. I have a 17' alumacraft w/ a 50hp and i am thinking that might be a bit undersized for superior, so I guess I am looking for a good charter service, as well as good lodging reccomendations.

Plus If you can think of anything else in the area that is a must see or must do please reply.

Thanks,

Kyle Kreisler

Kyle, there are a lot of nice resorts along the North Shore and some decent campgrounds as well. Not a lot of them can be mentioned on here, but search for the Two Harbors Chamber to get more info. As far as your boat goes, they put a small craft harbor in on scenic 61, it is called McQuade. I plan on putting my boat in there and it is a 14ft. with a 25 horse. Of course it will have to be REALLY calm, but I think it should be ok. Good luck!

The only lodging I know of north of two harbors is Grand Superior Lodge. It is a top notch facility with the best food in the state. I'm not sure if that's the type of place you are looking for or just the standard motel. If you are interested in a charter you've come to the right place. Being in the business and knowing the quality of the trips offered leads me to recomend Bill's Great Lakes Charters, Hard Times, and Skipper's Kid (Charter operated by Tom, AKA Skipper's Kid on this website). If you're interested you might be able to get a better deal with your lodging in duluth if you have a charter booked with the charters I mentioned. Check out their websites and if you want more information or have any questions feel free to send me an e-mail and I'll help in finding you a great charter. I'm sure Skipper's Kid will chime in and be a good deal of help to you as well.

Kyle,

Try Sve's Resort, about 20 miles out of Two Harbors, It's about half way between Two Harbors and Silver Bay. They have nice cabins right on Lake Superior, reasonable prices also. They have a boat launch right there or there is a new one about 2 miles back towards Two Harbors. I launch my 16' lund with 40hp, you just have to pick your days, lake usually quiets down toward evening. If it's a nice night you can boat up to Splitrock Lighthouse, great view from the water.

There's a motel in Silver Bay on 61. It's an Americinn or days inn, one of those.

Is that the new giant hotel they just built like a year ago in the huge open area?

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      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.
