I would like to know how has the deepest access on the lake? I have a bigger boat and need about 3' to get out with no worries.

any resort that has charter launches will be fine. there are a number of them all around the lake.

The deepest public access on the lake is north Garrison bay (Myr Mar). There was still 4 feet of water there last fall.

Orlip,

I know that George Nitti at Hunters Point has just back holed his whole marina last month. Hunters Point will have a nice deep harbor.

Also Greg and Dean up at Fishers Resort will have a nice deep boat harbor too. Also Kevin and Karen at Macs will have a nice deep boat harbor.

Those three resorts would be my best choices!

Fish On!!!

Cranker,

Come on, you would'nt want giver a try at Appledorn's. I remember when Joe wold have to launch a cabin cruiser. He would have his feet up on hood of tractor. It would take three or four runs, but he would get it done. I don't think he liked it much. I only seen him do it once and then never again. Does appledorns val lea launch boat's for people still? If you guys still do, this could be a key aspect of Appledorn's with water level the way it is. You guys would be set for any level the lakes is at for lauching!

Thanks for the info guys. One other question, my father in-law would like to try for some muskie this year and I have heard that the north end is good for that. Is that true? Or can the south east side be good to?

Unfortunately,

We do not do that anymore at the resort. The insurance company doesn't like the tractor and boat launch scenario too much. With the lake as low as it is we would have to drive a good 200ft out to get a boat launched. Thats not the tough part though. The tough part is trying to get the boat on the trailer when the waves are hitting you.

The bottom line is your going to get wet!

Fish On!!!

Orlip,

Really, the whole lake is getting very good reports! I know that the north end does well and in front of our resort in Sunset Bay does well. Fish structure anywhere and you will increase your chances of landing a trophy.

Fish On!!!

Yes your are right. Someone gets hurt or damage occurs, it is lawsuit time. No one ever got hurt in the eight years I was there, or that I had heard of. It does only take one time and things go south. Thats to bad. Lets hope for rain.

Earlier in the winter I went out of hunters dropped the camera down a bunch of holes looking for eyes and then he or she came into view, a big muskie. Wish I would have had the recorder thing for the camera.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   Guess when them damb helicopters from my maple tree arrive I'll  find out how good she blows,  doubt I'll  get a chance first with Stormy to compare!🤭   Anyone got trumps number?😄

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I'll bet she's better at it!!!!

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits
