Sleeper rental recomendation

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, any help that you could give me would be very much appreciated. I will be coming up to Red Lake the weekend of January 24th to fish with a group of guys. We will have 4 to 6 guys depending on who can make it and who cannot.

We are all experienced fisherman and will also be bringing portables for some jumping around during the day. Basically we would like nice accomodations from good people. The better the value the better the deal for us. We like to play cards at night and fish all day. If you have some good recomendations for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Also, where is the best place to buy bait in relation to your resort recomendation?

There are no fewer than 5 posts on this page alone that already answer your question. Why not take a look and read some of them first. Also, if you look at the top of this page you might see a few sponsors of this site who cater to the URL fisherperson.

Thanks Stradic and 02 for your friendly advice. You both seem very knowlegable and appreciate you sharing such insightful information. Now with that said, if anyone else has a REAL recomendation I would appreciate it.

Sorry if I sound rude, but I was just reponding with the same tone as Stradic and 02 took.

The reason I am asking for further info is that we are pretty specific in what we are looking for. Some people travel to URL with very little fishing experience, some have marginal, and some are experts. Some people come for the drinking and card playing and some for the fishing. Also, some expect 4 star accomodations and don't care about the price, and some want 4 walls, heat, lights, and not much else. The reason I posted was to get some further info, and explain precisely what we were hoping to find.

Hopefully the wise %$# response from the last two folks is not a representation of what we should expect to find on our trip to URL.

WOW!! I think you took them both the wrong way. If you look even 5 pages back, this same question is asked weekly if not more. People get sick of posting the same answer to the same question all the time. However, you should post exactly what you are looking for in an outfitter. I guarantee you will get all the answers you are looking for. The regulars on this forum are very helpful. As far as your last sentence in the previous post, the people up there are extremely nice and helpful people, even the fisherman...lol.

Jerry from battleriver lodge is my Man. $50 a guy per night, new houses, stops in a lot to check and see if you need anything. He runs out of JR's. I would think that $50 is probably avg. Have seen more but hey he has treated us right in the past and 8 of us are heading up there friday morn. for the weekend.

Calm down everyone. I am with Bailey and can tell you good intentions only. I have fished Mille Lacs for 25 years and would gladly give people the ins and outs of each resort on that lake if they asked. In order of priorties, i would say fishing quality, roominess (5 guys wanting to play cards and night, and last good reputation that will check in on you.

Has anyone ever used North Bound Fishing or Agassiz before?

      I thought that I remembered reading a statement years ago from the DNR, where they said it was unlikely that the rusty crayfish would be able to migrate from the east to west basins of Vermilion. It would be a shame if they have already. I'm sure that my wife and daughter will like swimming better with less weeds, but the fishing will suffer.

      On the south end...  Some great fall walleye fishing this past week on Lake of the Woods.  September is a transition time, both for walleyes, bait, and what techniques they prefer.   Walleyes are being caught at many locations around the lake.  The north end continues to be producing a good number of eater walleyes with the mixed in trophy.  This part of the lake has been consistent all summer and now into the fall.   The south end of the lake is kicking out some nice limits as well, just have to find the fish.  Electronics help of course, but so does covering water.   The two techniques to cover water are spinners / crawlers and crankbaits.  Both are still producing fish.  The third common technique that is starting to kick in more and more every week as the water cools is jigging with a frozen emerald shiner.  Once you find the fish, this can be super effective.   Most fish are being caught in 18 - 32 feet, depending upon where you are fishing.  There can be a morning / evening bite along the shoreline areas which is worth exploring.  The shallower water can also light up during the day if bait is present.   Areas throughout the lake with rock hold nice numbers of smallmouth bass.  The south shore between Long Point and Morris Point has many scattered areas with rock as does the areas around Knight, Bridges and Garden Islands.   Saugers, big pike, jumbo perch and a few crappies in the mix of walleyes throughout a day of fishing.   On the Rainy River...   Some good fishing in the Rainy River right now.  Walleyes, saugers, pike, smallmouth bass, crappies, sturgeon, suckers and bullheads are all in the mix, depending upon what technique(s) you are using.     Walleyes continue to be caught in Four Mile Bay, along various shoreline breaks, bars and other pieces of structure up and down the river.  Trolling spinners and trolling crankbaits continues to be effective.  Many anglers are jigging key areas and success.  It will get even better as the waters continue to cool.      Pike and smallmouth bass are being caught casting shorelines, bays and areas with rock or structure.   Sturgeon activity is also getting better.  Fall sturgeon fishing is normally excellent.  The sturgeon season is open through the winter into the spring. Up at the NW Angle...  The NW Angle is putting out some nice fish.  Most anglers are targeting walleyes, but crappies and muskies are favorite species as well during the fall months.   Walleyes are hanging out on points, reefs, flats and neck down areas with current.  Good reports are coming from anglers using jigs, spinners and crankbaits.  Some anglers swear by a jig and plastic or minnow.  Others believe moving around with a spinner or crankbait is most productive.  All three methods are catching fish.   Crappies are being found in 20 - 30 feet off of points and around brush piles. Electronics helps to find the schools.   Casting shorelines this time of year will put a plethora of species in the boat and is very enjoyable.  Crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, inline spinners and bladed jigs are all good lures to work shorelines. Muskies have been active.  Great reports as most muskie anglers fish just over the border from the Angle.  With 14,552 islands, lots of spots, lots of fish.  .

      The rusties are sort of into west end, but I don't know how much.   But in my experience the weeds vary from year to year.   Like this year, our beach didn't have as many weeds as last year.   And the bay on the east side of center Island didn't either.   But other places seemed to be about like usual.

      I will be going up at the end of the month to do a little fishing.  I will do a little calling around and find what others have to say as for the bite on the chain if they have been out.  I will report back to what I find.  Should be good fishing with the cooling temps!

      Numerous residents report tree damage/destruction along Munson Lake lakeshore, just south of Detroit Lakes. Would like an approximate cost for removal of beavers causing damage. thanks randy Schaefer
