Do any of you guys know of a place that may have 8 man sleepers? Also, are you allowed to drive to the sleeper yourself once you know where it is? What kind of experiences have you all had with sleepers compared to a resort cabin?<BR>Thanks in advance,<P>SP

Ben,<P>I know there are several top notch places<BR>that offer sleeper houses on LOW.<P>I dont know about 8 people houses<P>Some places will haul you out, others will<BR>let you drive to and from.<P>There is not a lot of action on LOW after<BR>dark as far as fishing goes. I like a <BR>resort cabin because of good food and a<BR>hot shower.<P>Call the Lake of the Woods area Chamber of<BR>Commerce in Baudette. They will get you <BR>list of everybody and you can narrow it <BR>down to what you want with a few phone calls.<P>You might also try to do a search of "sleeper<BR>houses" on the forum and see what you come<BR>up with. This topic has been visited in the<BR>past so there might be some useful info <BR>there too.<P>Good Luck<P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio

Gibbins has 6 man sleepers and Bryant would probably put a couple of them side by side for you if you have qa group that big. Last year he kept roads open to them too so you can drive right to the houses. He has the best sleepers I have ever used. Thier # is on the resort locator.

Sportsman's Lodge as real Nice Sleepers but they only hold as many as 6 from what I can tell. I'm sure they will put two or more houses close to each other for your group.<P>They are well supplied with the items you need. Best I've seen!<BR>Nic<BR>

For what its worth six of us go up every year in feb we've stayed at several different resorts none had room to sleep more than 6 people. Service was good at all of them. We stayed with Schusters last year they had the largest we've ever stayed in. I believe it was a 10ft x 24 ft house. Lots of room to fish and tip back a few. hope to do it agin this year. Good fishin!

hey guys, I am the President of the University of Duluth Rod-and-Gun club, and we are looking for a good place to take our ice fishing trip this year. Previous years we went to Leech, Vermillion, and Mille Lacs, but the year we want to actually catch some fish. I was wondering about any input on the cheaper sleepers/lodges that could cater to about 30 of us. thanks cameron

Cameron:<P>this is what I did: My group is arriving Friday evening and leaving about noon or so on Sunday. We are paying $120 per guy at Sportsmans Sleepers. The registraion girl, Sherry, was extremely nice. My advice is no matter where you go, book soon as they fill up fast. Good luck fishing.<P>SP

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
