Lodging recommendations on Winnie or in town for end of February?

[Mistermojo]

Myself and 3 others are going to head to Winnie for the first time at the end of Walleye season.  Any recommendations on places to stay?  I know of many but would like to get any first-hand opinions.  If you don't feel comfortable posting any negative opinions, you can PM me.

 

thanks,

Mojo

Try Becker's Resort.  Give Doug and Nancy a call.  Nice cabins and plowed roads on the west side.

Cool - I'll check them out.  Anyone else have suggestions?

Depends on what you are looking for

I will tell you this

I have had the best luck on Winnie fishing that last week-end up there

Find a hump that has had no traffic and is along ways off the beatin  track if ice condition allow

I'm talking north end humps ....as far as lodging there are 3-4 resorts open on that end

high  banks has roads plowed out across the north humps but try to get off the main road as far as possiable

and there is always the gosh damn ,beds food and cocktails at reasonable prices

We are booked through High Banks this year, based on conversations with a few folks, it sounded like they are a good operation and we are getting their fishing show special.  I will keep your fishing location tips in mind.  Thanks!

kim and rick are top notch. great hosts!!!!!! although they wont let me come back!!!! went there 3 years in a row and every year the weather made it impossible to fish!!!!! just kidding on them not letting me back but the weather rally did bite each year I stayed there!

All I can hope this year is we'll still have driveable or at least wheeler-able ice at the end of Feb.

Doug and Nancy at Beckers would be my first choice.  Awesome cabins if you can get in.  They are usually booked by the folks that stayed the previous season.  The access point on that side is my favorite, too.  I have stayed with these guys the last 3-years

McArdle's is a second choice for a roomy cabin.  One my favorite side of the lake.  My buddy and I used these guys for a 10-12 year stretch.  Very good folks for giving directions and spots to try.  Sometimes Craig will even go out and pop a few holes to help you search,...

Nodak's is a place my buddy and I used for several years.  The folks there are very knowledgeable and can give directions.

Those are my 3 choices for lodging up at Winnie
