We are going with portables this weekend and using a buddys permanent house. <P>I've been reading the stories about getting stuck. What if we brought sleds to pull the otter lodge? <P>The truck is a much better mode of transport though. Any thoughts? <P>It appears to be gettin' nasty.

Use your 4 x4 PU out of Morris Point, they have plowed roads with camp sites off of the main road. <p>[This message has been edited by Paul Waldowski (edited 01-26-2004).]

I'd say that if you're going to haul your sleds and Otter house up that you should use them. I was out there on Sunday and it's at least 18" deep everywhere with drifts up to 2 or even 3 feet in spots. Don't get me wrong, they're roads, but once you get off of them you'll find yourself burried right up to the bottom of the doors. A 4X4 can kind of make it through, but why beat the [PoorWordUsage] out of your truck when you have the perfect set-up with your Otter and snowmobile. My vote is for the sled, good luck and good fishing.<P>Rip'n lips!!

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
