Where was the best Ice Fishing trip youve ever been on? Im looking to make a once in a lifetime walleye/crappie trip this winter. Im open to whatever wherever. I can bring my wheelhouse or go fully guided.

Im looking for something I will talk about for the rest of my life!

Lets hear some stories.

I never been there but have heard the Canada side of LOW is good for eye's, crappies and maybe throw in some Lakers? wink

Ive heard if you could go to devils lake, good perch and walleye action. You can go to www.edbaitshop.com and get gear, bait and reports. Some people i know just book a room in a hotel for a few nights, go to the bait shop, then go out on the lake!! Just a suggestion!!

We went to Devils lake last year, I wasnt impressed. I have heard alot of good things about the Canadian side of LOTW.

I know it sounds cliche, but the group you are with, whether they are family or friends will usually make the most memorable trips. My buddies from high school/college and I are planning our 4th annual trip. The past 3 years were Red, Mille Lacs, and Waubay. We slammed the walleyes on each trip, but very few of the fish are involved in the "remember when..." stories.

I think if you are looking to catch fish that you will remember forever I would consider Lake Winnipeg/Red River.

I'm with MattL on this one. Life is all about the stories. The time my friend sat in the outhouse on RED LAKE for an hour. When I asked why he was gone so long he replied "I was just waiting for the Sunday paper" and " never did get that coffee I ordered". That's what makes a trip memorable for me.

Upper red lake. Amazing walleye fishing, crappies and huge pike.

Lake of the Woods. Fished it for the 1st time in 2011, been back every march since! It's the only fishing trip all year I specifically target walleye. But am happier when I catch tullibee! Trophy potential for several species is a plus also.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?

      but if he really wants I can change the date..
