I am bringing my 7 yr old daughter up next weekend for some fishing,pool time and father/daughter bonding time. We have a yearly fishing day together but never have had great success. I think she is old enough now to go to the big lake with dad so here we come. <BR>We are thinking of either going out of Morris Pt. or Zippel. We are planning on fishing out of my portable. We do have a Yukon but maybe you guys think there is to much snow for us to move around.<BR>I would really like her to catch a bunch of saugers/walleyes and have as good an experience as possible for her 1st time.<BR>I value your opinions greatly and would really appreciate it if you could give us your thoughts on where are best chances are going to be.<P>THANK YOU!!!

Hey there,<P>If at all possible I'd recommend you wait until mid march or so. Feb is sort of a funk for fishing. I was out today and managed to scratch my limit of eyes, but it was plain tough work. Had to move several times and it took all day to get them.<P>If I were forced to fish from a vehicle I would probably try long point, or babblers road around Arnesons reef, or gull rock.<P>Come with reasonable expectations this time of year, as scratching out a nice meal is doing pretty good right about now. <P>That said, spending time with your kids without TV's, phones, etc... etc... is time pretty darn well spent. Hope you have great time.<P>

Duckbuster,<P>You wont have any trouble getting around<BR>with your Yukon, you will need to stay on<BR>the roads though.<P>Morris Point has been doing a good job all<BR>winter keeping things in good shape but I<BR>havent heard how fishing has been lately.<P>Zipple has more area to fish and a great<BR>system of roads. Either place gives you <BR>decent chance at some fish. Like Widetrack<BR>said, you arent comming up at peak time.<P>I had some friends at Zipple last weekend<BR>and they did good.<P>Both resorts will give you all the info they<BR>have about where to fish each day.<P>If fishing is not good, the pool time will<BR>be a blast.<P><BR>Good Luck<P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio
