Where to get "stuff" on the east side?

4 of us from work have reserved one of McQuoid's "executive" houses for the 2nd weekend of January. Anyone have any suggestions on bait/snacks/booze locations near there? Also - is there anyplace that rents Aqua-Vu cameras in the area?
Thanks in advance!

If you drive to the Southwest corner I believe Lundeens Tackle Castle will rent Aqua Vu's. Right across the street from Lundeens is a holiday gas station. There is also a grocery store and liquor store in Isle. Dickies Portside may also rent camera's.

Good Luck!

I agree with D-man Lundeen seems like you are intruding when you go in his store. I asked him how they were biting and he said how the hell should he know. I haven't been back since.

Also, In Isle right before you get to Maquoids there is a small grocery store and right next to that is a bar that has on/off sale as well. There prices are pretty good and it sure is convenient having them there so I always try and support the locals but you can do as you see fit. Less to pack also.

I would rather use only artificial than buy bait from lundeen's, that guy has been nothing but rude to me. Johnson's has great bait and has really given me some huge portions, and the way they have biten the last few years you've needed every shinner!

Pat's sport shop in Isle is the closest. Its on Hwy 47. Theres a bottle shop and Super Valu in Isle on Hwy 27.

You can get groceries in the town of Isle just south of Mcquoids. It is an IGA grocery store and there is an on/off sale liquor store close by from there two.
The rental housed from McQuoids are nice, but you don't go out on the Lake from there. You head out on Twin Bay just north of McQuiods. Another good place to eat is Cataways up by Malmo, about a 9-10 mile drive. They have the best broasted chiken I have ever ate!

      So I am also moving to the Lino lakes area in just 3 weeks and fishing is the only thing I would like to do… fishing buddy’s or any good spots would be appreciated

      Yes, MN is very difficult to register anything that had a title or a original registration card. I've ran into the same issue with old snowmobiles, and motorcycles it suks. Hope he can get it done over in Wisconsin for you. Good Luck.

      Thanks.  Very similar to my tactics.  I usually haven't started using lead core until August and then we are fishing in 30 FOW.  I will give it a try in 20-25'.

      It's amazing how much the water level is dropping. It looks like we've been getting enough rain to keep the forest hydrated but not enough to fill the lake.

      Finally made it up to Vermilion this summer.  Between opening our place in Soudan and entertaining the wife and dog I only made it out on the lake 1½ hours Wednesday evening and 3½ hours Thursday morning.  In those 5 hours all I caught was a 10" perch.  I had 3 other light bites and that was it.  The wife caught two 8" eyes Wednesday and didn't get out Thursday morning with me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food didn't have rainbows, and their chubs were very small and pike suckers were too big (they did have a river-mix that looked good that I should have tried).  I did see a few mayflies on the surface so I will blame all of those factors on my lack of success, although my lack of fishing skills factored in also.  Many others fishing around us and I only saw one other fish being landed so maybe I wasn't the only one struggling to catch fish.   Water temp was 65°F in Stuntz Bay and the water level is running 13" lower than last year at this time as shown below.  Good luck fishing and enjoy the lake.  It was beautiful out there.
