Just Love Lake of the Woods!

[jig-em]

Just got back from Lake of the Woods. I can't wait to go back soon! Our group of seven caught our limit and ate fish every day. My son caught a five and four pounder along with some really big perch. I hope when I'm an old man these memories of these trips to LOTW will still be with me and my buddies. We stayed in sleepers but did stay the first night before our trip at the AmericInn in Baudette which provided us great service and we ate at Rosalie's which has the best dinners in all of Minnesota!<BR>Jig-em

Jig-em: Sounds like a really nice time was had by all. The lake will definitley grow on you. What area where you fishing? Bill

Jig-em, if you like Lake of The Woods in the winter, you'll love it in the summer! Like Bturk said "it'll grow on you!"

I've been up quite a bit and also in the summer, however, it's a place that I see new stuff each time. I was fishing near Zippel Bay.

Jig-em,<P>How old is your son. I'm thinking about bringing my 9 year old up next year.

[jig-em]

Ed,<BR>He's 14 and really into fishing. He came up last year also. Was a little concerned that maybe the slow times might be a little much, but he really enjoys it, so, I guess we have another permanent party in the group.

Texas Ed - <P>By all means take your son! LOW is about the best place in the world to take a kid. I have been bringing mine for several years and they love it. Sleepers are great for kids because they have bunks to lay and play on when the fishing is slow. My girls have a tendency to goof off and read, play games ect. when the fishing is slow (no one has ever complained of being bored). That is when my 9 year old son jigs everyone's lines and scabs fish off of them . Then they argue over who gets the credit for the fish. Of course you know who's side dad is on! <P>Jake has been fishing up there since he was 5 and he caught an 8 1/2 pounder last year. He does not have time for games - its jig, jig, jig.................

My son is now six he has been going with us for three years now. If your son likes to fish he will love it. One thing I do is bring the warm clothes up and go out and play around in the snow for a hour or two each day it breaks up the day and i must admit that the gameboy does go along. My son loves the eelpout fishing we do in the evenings. Go luck.<P>Sifty<BR>
