Hunter’s Point Resort

Recommended Posts

Heading up to Hunter’s Point in a week. Wondering if anyone has any info about Hunter’s Point Resort? -Service, House’s, etc. I know the fishing is slow, so the majority of our efforts could turn to bottle bass fishing. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Havent fished Hunter's in the winter, so I dont know about the houses, but we camped up there this past summer. George runs a great buisness, and is VERY friendly. He actually told us about a fishin spot of his own, and we did very well there. You will love it I promise. Good luck!

We've been ice fishing out of Hunter's for the past several years and George is a great guy. His houses are bare bones and he admits it but the price is right. We were up the 2nd weekend in January and fishing was very slow. The cold front moved in just as we showed up. We managed 8 walleye, one in the slot and the rest in the 20's. 25" was the biggest. The perch seem to be in 30' of water just off the structure. George is as honest as you'll find. He wants you to catch fish but won't pull your leg with a fish story!

Thanks for updates. All I’ve ever heard is "George is a good guy." I’ve also heard his house’s are "bare-bones" too. By bare-bones are you meaning no TV’s, bathrooms, rattle reels, and those other luxuries that you have at your own home? Any advise on gear that we should bring?

You got the right idea. Some of the houses up there are so nice you feel like your at home. George has nice houses for fishing. They have carpet, the bunks have 4" foam on them and I've never had a problem with the heaters. The houses don't have rattle reels or cook stoves but it will have a table and chairs. He'll have a few out houses scattered around his rentals. We normally bring sleeping bags, a grill, lanterns (he has 2 gas lights - not very bright)food and our fishing gear. It's a pretty basic trip for us but we also bring our portables so we can move around during the day and find the perch. This year has been tough. Hopefully you'll get some walleye at night out of your permanent house. When you do it makes for a long fun night!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
