Breakfast??

[srj]

Guys, the state pool tourney is at the DECC this weekend and looking for breakfast advice--preferably big and cheap. Either Duluth or Superior. Any thoughts on a good steak also? Looks like the weather will be mighty nice Sat-Sun. Hope I can keep my mind off fishing for a couple days.

Thanks for any tips.

I recommend Uncle Louis Cafe in Duluth for breakfast. 520 E. 4th St.

For steak theres Red Lobster, Timberlodge steak house, Outback, Blackwoods and Hammond steak house in Superior to name a few. If your looking for a place to get some practice in theres Mr.Luckys pool hall in Superior and Horseshoe in west Duluth. Good luck in the tourney.

As far as steaks go you cant beat the Hammond for price and value. Timberlodge is way pricey and over rated in my opinion.

Good luck in the Tourney. Ran why aint you shootin in it man? Get a partner as good as you and you could do some damage. Is it team or partners anyway? Might be hard to find a team all as good as you are I guess.

I also preferred the Hammond for steak back when I lived in Suptown, and Louis had great breakfasts.

[Northlander]

Louis is no longer in "Souptown". There is a place on Belknap across the ave. from the Freedom gas station that has great breakfast. I think its called Julies? Also good lunch and dinners. Good prices and good service last time I was in there.

[Steve Foss]

Yeah, I heard the Suptown Louis was a goner.

[Northlander]

Souptown Steve Souptown.

Uncle Louie's gets my vote. Good food cheap.

[srj]

Thanks for the suggestions. Uncle Louies for breakfast and Hammonds for steak--not too far from our hotel in Superior.

Good luck fishing this weekend.

[Northlander]

Where are you staying? I live in Souptown by Barkers Island.

[srj]

Just across the bridge at the Best West.

[Northlander]

Ok. Hammond is right next to you man. You already knew that though Im sure.

[srj]

Yeah, got that checked out. I see you post on LOW and Rainy R time to time. Maybe share a brew with you up there some day, eh. A brew sounds good right now--peeling wallpaper and hating it. A bit more of that and then time to knock some balls around on the 9 footer, head for Duluth tomorrow, LOW on Wednesday to see how my house looks out on Long Pt. It will be kinda drifty I'm sure.

[Northlander]

I love the Rainy River in the spring and fall. LOW rocks all year. We should hook up some time. Ill be in Bayfield/Ashland all this weekend though. Maybe hook up and Fish the river in the spring?

[srj]

Sounds good. I fish the river quite a bit--weather permitting--arthritis in the fingers and hands makes for a long day if it's cold (unless I'm a passenger). I pretty much fish LOW every week--got a little cabin inbetween Walleye Retreat and Cyrus. Should be able to figure something out. Got a comfy boat-Yarcraft Storm BT equipped to do bait, downrig or flatline. Anchor too.

Let's stay in touch--always like fishing with FM'ers anywhere.

Let me know when a good time is to come up and join ya in the best walleye lake around these parts. Sorry Rainy Lake Guys but LOW is #1 in my book for size and numbers.

[tearin' lips]

Now Northlander why do you have to go saying that? j/k I will agree with you on the numbers, but Rainy does have the size...especially in the winter and for a few weeks in early July.

[srj]

T.L.--I sneak over to Rainy a few times a summer and I have to agree with you-the average size is awesome. Numbers are good too. However, the number of 10 lb plus fatties LOW puts out is unequaled for a MN drive-to-lake. And the scenery.........big water is awesome but islands are special. Rainy wins the beauty division hands down (at least comparing to LOW south side). Gotta love both those lakes. I feel very fortunate to have two world class fisheries within a couple hours.

[srj]

Northlander, will stay in touch.
