Loggy Bayou Monarch


LABS4ME

Recommended Posts

Does anybody here use a Loggy Bayou Monarch stand? I'm looking for a good light weight stand that I can pack in to inaccessible areas, but that are comfortable for all day hunting. I hunted out of my buddies Lone Wolf and liked it, but the seat had a little to be desired. I found this one on line at Cabelas and it is even lighter than the Lone Wolf, has a bigger platform and they claim it is an 'all day seat'. Plus it's less money.... grin.gif

Looking for a real world - honest assessment.

Thanks!

Good Luck!

I too have the monarch, very light weight and very comfortable seat. The stand is a little noisy when trying to hang it but I made a hook similar to what the lonewolf stands use for hanging. I put the hook arond the tree and then put the stand on the hook, seems to work good. The seat does take up a good part of the platform but with the footrest you cold sit all day.

Thanks! Is it quiet once it's mounted to the tree? I had an older aluminum stand and it was real squeeky the colder it got... That Lone Wolf I hunted out of was VERY quiet... I just think I will like a more comfy stand...

Good Luck!

I have a Millenium M-100 stand, and it's easy to hang with the Cam system, and super comfortable. It feels like you're sitting in a really nice lawn chair.

I haven't had any issues with noise once it was on the tree. After the stand is on the tree it is very sturdy and very quiet. Not sure if it will be noisier when it gets colder but I don't think that will be a problem. I would reccomend getting one.

I just bought the same stand....I have not yet had a chance to use it...but when I do...I will post a report. From all the research I did on the web...it sounds like a pretty good stand. I am interested in seeing how much I like or dislike the seat. I sit all day...so I am looking for something comfy...

Thanks again ACT!

Cliffy, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the seat. I am holding off for 2 more weeks, but will be buying a new stand before the rut takes off.

Good Luck!

Well, here are my two cents so far.

I got the Loggy Bayou Monarch Pro staff about a week ago...I have not had the chance to use it hunting but I have played around with it.

It came with really poor directions but did have a DVD that I assume had better directions...but the DVD would not play on my DVD player or Computer....so I just had to figure it out myself by using common sense and looking at pics on-line. It was not too hard but still thought it should come with better directions or a working DVD.

My first impression was the fact it was very light....10lbs. The seat is big and seemed like it was pretty well made. The straps were basic...but just fine.

I took it out and put it up in a tree and it went pretty well. The strap that goes behind the seat worked really well....the one that goes down by the base was more of a pain in the butt. You see, the seat strap goes into a couple of D-rings and the strap has a latch that wont allow it to fall out. The base strap is just plain and goes into a couple of holes...so if your not holding on to it as you are trying to swing the strap around the tree...it could fall out to the ground. See pics.

I sat in the seat and IT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE!! Two thumbs up. I found the stand to be rock solid and I didn’t detect any noise when I stood up or adjusted my sitting position. Over all I am satisfied with it and cant wait to break it in at Camp Ripley.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
