Looking for any advice.

I have 17 foot Lund Mr. Pike on a Karavan trailer and I'm looking to add some load guides. Anyone with any experience and or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

You'll have a wide choice of them, they all bolt or clamp on with U-Bolts to your trailer.
I had bad experience with the single post and PVC tube, they flex too much when boat is loading, and don't keep it in line, but it was also a heavy boat.
Double brackets with longitudinal bunk are my favorite, but they carry a hefty price.

I would stay away from the ones with a long plastic roller, they tend to leave marks on your boat.

After several difficult times trying to load our 1890 Lund, we ordered the bunk guide-ons from Cabela's. We ordered the one with the 1 1/2" square steel tubing for $89.99. We couldn't be more satisfied with them, wish we would have done it a long time ago.

Go with the bunk. I made my own they work great! Put a little thought in it and you can make some for a fraction of the cost of new and just as sturdy.

Thanks for the info. Lucky, I had actually given some thought to making some. Any suggestion on where to look to get an idea on a pattern to follow.

Thanks!

      Back when the DNR was seining our beach in July I asked, and apparently they were through oak narrows.   But long way to go to get to us.   I'll keep my eyes open and my mask and snorkel on.  Didn't see any sign off them this summer.

      Nice job Troy.   We are happy with our opening day for ducks.  2 man limit of mixed species by 10am.  LOTS of people where we were today but that was expected.  Other than getting beat to our spot, no issues that would keep up away.  Not even the rain.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now TW200 so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.
