[acesinthehole]

We stayed up there Dec 30-Jan 2 and it was a great time. 28 fow 50 Suager 8 Walters & 8 Pout. Jim the owner is a GREAT guy and very nice person. This was our first trip to Wintersett but it WILL NOT be the last. It is a small resort 1 main house sleeps 15 (i think) 1 sleeper, two 4 man house and two 2 man house. The service was great! I hope he does good and can get another sleeper for next year! here are some pics (hope it works) any ?'s let me know Ryan

How many bunks are in the sleeper and how many holes?

[spreadhead]

wow thanks for sharing i can not wait to go

[spreadhead]

what was the hot lure

[acesinthehole]

It has 8 holes and 3 bunks. 1 is on the side wall that folds down, 1 is above the dinnete and the dinnete folds down which could sleep 2 people so 4 people total. it is a top of the line house! everything you need & more!

what was the hot lure

For us bobbers worked better and not moving the lure was the ticket. we used a gold or orange plain ball gig, plain red hook, red tear drop glow, gold stop sign, green glow stop sign. The big 28" can on the boober setup & plain red hook with a fat head on it. for the the most part we did about the same on all lures if it was not moving.

so is there plenty of room for 4 guys to stay

[spreadhead]

when we called to set a date for that shack he told us about that 28incher you caught

[acesinthehole]

so is there plenty of room for 4 guys to stay

I would say yes. There is not alot of extra room. It is a 8X16 and 2 guys would need to share the dinnete but it is do able. We had just the 3 of us in the picture and it was good. We also brought alot of stuff because we brought the snowmobiles & the portable just in case (which we did not even use them). We are even thinking of going back one more time this year. Tell Jim the boys with the 28" say hi!

[spreadhead]

i def. will thanks for all the info.

[spreadhead]

is there any thing that we should bring that they do not provide

[acesinthehole]

The only thing I can think of is beer & some dvd's. Maybe a good knife and fork Did you have anything in mind?

[spreadhead]

haha nice ya i will be bring alot of beer thats for sure. is there tv channels at all

[spreadhead]

any updates

[acesinthehole]

Sorry about the delay I'm not on the computer much on the weekend. I think there is 6-9 channels but not to much to watch. We either had a DVD in or news or just had the radio on.

[spreadhead]

ya we did pretty well, we caught over a 100 fish in 2 days. the weather was terrible but still managed a few fish. I will never go any where eles, by far the best time i have ever had at lake of the woods. The sleeper is verrrrrry nice. Jim was the nicest guy ever. i am going back again in march.

Thats good! I will be back up Feb 6-7-8. What was the hot lure or presentation for you guys? Also what depth were you at? Jim said he just moved the house last Thursday so it seems a found a few.

[spreadhead]

Ya he moved us when we showed up there. we were fishing 27ft. the hot lures were red and gold stop sign jigging spoons. and on a dead stick get red glow brobugs. i also told him Hello from you to.

[spreadhead]

so acesinthehole did you do any good when u went up for the second time

[acesinthehole]

Fishing was slow! We got 6 saugers 1 waldo and lost prob 8-10 on the way up and a biggen at the hole. They were bitting way light. We could bring them off the bottom but would not bite. We all had fun again though and Jim was GREAT again.
