Can anybody give me some insight on this outfit? what to expect? I have never been to URL and booked a trip with them. just wondering if anybody has used them before. thanks

Posted

I booked through them for this weekend. Everything I've heard has been good. Justin is a regular poster here. I'll let you know how it was on Monday.

Posted

I always stay with up north rentals. Nice clean houses and they get moved regularly to stay on the fish. Good luck fishing.

Posted

I was really happy when I went through them last season. Everything was kept up and we had a clean house on a new spot.

Posted

Just got back from there. Stayed Sunday and Monday nites in a 4 man.

It's my first time on Upper Red Lake so I have nothing to compare it to,

but would not hesitate to use again. Warm, clean house, nice bunks.

Caught 30 fish. They did not have any shiners at Rogers so if you want some

shiners I would pick some up on your way up. Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys. I am so pumped up to go! Never been to URL or even done a sleeper at all so I am sure I will be disorganized but looking forward to it. Try to leave some in the lake for me!

We did good on slender spoons and red hooks,stop signs work as well. its pretty basic fishing and its a good time! Like car said there weren't any shiners around waskish area and that's what we did the best on last weekend, black duck had some that's where we stopped on the way.

north country in Waskish had shiners yesterday, but only one perch caught on them with a dead stick. jiggin produced much better rattlin flyer, red macho minnow and buckshot in yellow and orange. hillmans also had shiners

Posted

bturck, how did you and mama do on the North side?

Posted

we did ok, no big fish but nice eaters. jiggin was better than the dead sticks. kelly was out exploring and found 12-20" of ice but the slush seems to have frozen up. we were in about 10' of water. houses were closer than kelly likes to have em, but he had to put high and dry as best he could. we;re headed back in 2 weeks. crappis, 1 perch and released a 20" nort

Posted

Fishing was really slow this weekend. For six guys we caught 5 keeper eyes, 1 too small and 1 just over the slot. Also caught 1 perch and a 32" northern.

House was nice and clean. There were ants all over and a couple rattle reel arms need replacing but those are my only complaints.

We met Justin at Roger's and followed him out to his houses (2 miles out on Roger's road) but didn't see him again. A young employee of his showed us the house, brought us a battery for the lights and fan and checked on us Saturday morning.

I am glad that jd took good care of you guys this weekend. It sure is nice having some great help with good customer service skills. Thanks again and good luck fishing

Posted

Justin and his crew work very hard to put their customers on fish and their houses are some of the best on Red Lake, I have personally seen Justice help fellow fisherman out either by giving them rides to their fish houses due to ice conditions and plow out a spot for their perm. UpNorth ice rentals are a great bunch of hard working guys that will help you anyway they can and dam nice guys to..........Kirk

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing remains strong across the south shore of Lake of the Woods out on Big Traverse Bay.  Resorts and outfitters on some parts of the lake have ice roads extending over 16 miles staying on nice schools of walleyes and saugers.  Many fish houses are over deep mud.  Some are on structure.  It is always fishing of course, but overall, February has been very productive for most anglers.   Extensions are being used on ice augers as the ice continues to thicken.  The thick ice this year will be good for the extended ice fishing season Lake of the Woods enjoys with fish houses out through March 31st, walleyes and saugers open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes. Most fishing activity is taking place in 26-32 feet of water.  Anglers are finding a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers, with a good number of jumbo perch in the mix this year.  Some big eelpout are also showing up.  Anglers are reporting plenty of fish for fresh fish frys and usually extra fish to bring home.   The one-two punch of a jigging line and deadstick is the way to go.  On the jigging line, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been consistent.  Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures also doing well.     Lures with a light have been working well in the stained water.  Please remember, in MN, lures with a light or water activated light can be used as long as the battery is mercury free and the hook is attached directly to the lure and not as a dropper line.     On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off of the bottom.    Some days, mornings are better, other days, it's the afternoons.  There is no distinct pattern, they could come through at any time. On the Rainy River...  The start of the day and end of the day have been best for those targeting walleyes on the river. A jig and minnow or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head is also producing some fish. Some big sturgeon being iced by ice anglers targeting them.  It is a catch-and-release sturgeon season currently.   Although ice conditions on the river are good, they can vary significantly due to the current, so anglers should always consult local resorts or outfitters for the most up-to-date safety information and fishing advice. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing has been strong in the islands area of Lake of the Woods. Resorts continue to move their fish houses around, staying on the best schools of walleyes.     Anglers are catching a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch with an occasional pike or tullibee as well.     Big crappies are still being caught just over the border.  Fish houses are available, check with a NW Angle resort for info on crappie fishing.   Lake of the Woods enjoys an extended ice fishing season with fish houses on the ice through March 31st and walleye and sauger seasons open through April 14th. Perch, crappie, and pike seasons remain open year-round.

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
