I have found that sleeper houses are too expensive. Get a hotel room and split it with your buddies and just bring your own gear out. Much cheaper way to go

Check out Long Point. A buddy keeps telling me they are cheap and good. I have never fished there myself but my friend says $17.00 a hole in a day house but then you still need to sleep somewhere and I think Long Point is a long ways from any cheap motel.

I think if you factor in ALL associated costs a sleeper is the way to go.

I usually go to zippel. I figure cost for the sleeper (about a hundred bucks per guy, for 2 1/2 days of fishing), bait, and fuel to get there. I bring all my own food, beer and booze. I can do a LOTW trip for 2 1/2 days for roughly $200.

Sorry dude, it dont get any cheaper than that. Maybe you should be realistic with the fact that you cant afford a trip to LOTW at all.

Google Zipple bay resort. You'll find a link to their website with all of there prices listed and directions to the resort. Good luck.

Fishinfreak: Not to sound like an a** here, but 17 and no job???? There are people looking to hire. Flippin a few burgers earns some cash. You're probably living at home so the expense factor shouldn't be to great. As mentioned above this may not be the year for the LOW trip. You need to prioritze, the wants and the needs and spend your money wisely. Hope you can make the trip one day, you will enjoy it. Bill

Sounds like you need to talk to your parents. If they approve of you going on the trip and they are in good fiancial shape ask what you can do for work to earn some cash. Shovel snow, clean house, get a job or what ever. If the family as a whole is having hard times its time to grow up and realize we can't have everythin we want. Good luck I hope it works out for you, and give you credit for trying to do it a cheap as possibe.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. 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. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   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...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
