Boat Rentals

[cupper]

Does anyone know of some lakes in the metro area where you can rent small motorboats for an afternoon of fishing? I have a buddy who's future father-in-law is coming up in a few weeks and they wanted to do some fishing. They posed this question to me and I was unsure so I thought some of you would be helpful. They aren't looking for anything spectacular, just a small boat and motor to get around an area lake and wet a line.

Thanks for your help!

Check out Harty's on Medicine Lake. Joe is a very nice guy who really works hard at catering to the angler. He has a baitshop and boat rental station available at the lake. And Medicine Lake can be an excellent fishing lake. A good choice if you're targeting bass, pike or panfish...

Good Fishin,

I thinks Howards point marina on Tonka rents boats, if my memory is wrong on the name somebody will correct me.

There are a couple of rentals on 'Tonka... not sure if the names though either. I know one of the locations is in Mound. Not sure if that's the same place that buzzsaw is referring to....?

Gander Mtn in Lakeville rents boats out. I think you can take them to any lake (not 100% on that). The prices looked kinda spendy though.

I think there's also a place on White Bear Lake that rents boats. Not 100% sure on that though.

There is a place on Bald Eagle (near WBL) that rents boats as well... I just don't know the name of it.

Minnetonka boat rental is in Mound on county rd 15. But here's a link to 4 different placed on Lake Minnetonka. http://www.lakeminnetonka.com/Boa-rent.html

I've rented from Minnetonka boat rental before and they're not bad at all

The place on White Bear is called Talleys @ 651-426-9909, and the place on Bald Eagle is called Bald Eagle rental @ 651-426-0365. (Used to be called Bobbers) There's only the one place on each lake.

Cupper,

Check out In Town Marina in Waconia. I'm pretty sure they still rent boats and pontoons. (952) 442-2096

I've enjoyed Howards Point. On weekdays Rockvam Boatyard has some good rental deals.
