new years eve?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys....and gals....I fished red lake last new years eve with my girlfriend, out of Roger's and had a blast caught lots of fish, but had a 2 hour drive home at 2 a.m....wondering if any of you have a "sleeper house" that I could rent for the night for a fun night of ice fishing. Rather then drive back and forth, would love to rent a house for the night, I have portables, but nothing that we could sleep in....anyone have anything available for new years eve....what better way to spend the night...please post here or email me at [email protected] if you have a sleeper where we could catch fish, drink beer and sleep..thanks

I know Rogers has a few nice sleepers - check out their site under the resort locater. They have pics of all their houses.

I know the my sleeper will not be out on the lake New Years. It's big and heavy and I do not want the ice sinking around it and flooding.
Besides Roger's both Mort's and Hillman's have sleepers out. I do not know right now what Hudec's is doing with the road. I heard they were plowing out today or tomorrow.

THanks for all the info....I called around around and several of the resorts said they were afraid to put out their sleepers yet. SO I am booked at "THE ROYAL" Shooks motel.
Hopefully we can get into the fish, and then enjoy a fun night.
THAnks for the help.

      Caught some crappies on the north end of Osakis on Nov 15th. Pulled from 25-27 feet. All laid on their side in the live well. All kept but one.

      On the south end...   Ice continues to form and make progress on Lake of the Woods.  With that being said, it is going to take some time before it is safe and fish houses are out.  Resort ice guides have been out checking ice thickness, flying drones over the ice and basically staying on top of current conditions.   Back bays are locked up and there is some spearing for pike that has been happening.  Ice conditions even in back bays vary, so for safety, please work through resorts and outfitters.   Most of Big Traverse Bay is ice covered.  There are still patches of open water, some cracks that have opened up, etc.  This is typical for this time of year and it will be a bit yet before most can give the green light.     Lake of the Woods is big and there are many areas of the lake resorts and outfitters go out on.  Each business will be monitoring ice conditions in their area and make informed decisions when it is allowed to access the ice through their ice access and what weight limits will be allowed. Resorts and outfitters have started marking trails on the ice in bays and close to shore.  When it is time to get out on the ice, we encourage working through resorts and outfitters and staying on marked trails for safety. On the Rainy River...   The Rainy River is ice covered.  Local resorts and ice guides are monitoring ice conditions in areas of the river they offer ice fishing.  As you have read in this report previously, work through a resort or outfitter for safety reasons.      Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice covered (as a whole).  Outfitters and ice guides have been marking ice trails.  The ice roads and trails are not open yet, but much of the ice has frozen smooth and is coming along very nicely. There are always areas throughout the winter where there is current up at the Angle so it is important to stay on the marked trails, both when they open up and throughout the ice fishing season, which goes through March, Mother Nature dependent on course.

      'we have more fun' I Share On FishingMN  152 Posted January 25, 2017 Hey Moose ... what size Pug Bug do you typically use?  Smaller or bigger on your locale lake?   also, do you use the xl maki minnow or the smaller regular one?  For Crappies, noticed that the xl seems to catch bigger fish but not as much quantity?  Curious about your thoughts?

      I caught a few eyes... we're getting a dusting of snow tonight. I probably won't fish much until we get more ice and snow as I like running the sled. Really don't like ice fishing much, do it more for something to do as there's not much to do in the winter. I'm going to start bobcat trapping this winter though
    • smurfy
      awe yea......kettle my friend.......you forgot t tell us if you caught any fish????🤣🤗
