We have been doing the Northwest Angle for 10+ years dragging around our portables on snowmobiles. We love the adventure side of it, but really looking for something new. Anyone have good ideas and resorts for someplace new that can give us some new spots to explore and not see/fight through a bunch of people?? Looking for something around or under 8hr drive from Minneapolis. Would like to have large cabin 8 guys can stay in, gas and bait on site or close. Would probably hire a guide for one day, but really would be pretty independent. Already hit the standard lakes in MN (Red, Winnie, ML etc). Mostly walleye/crappie fisherman, but like any variety. Note: Still love the angle we are just trying to mix it up or add another trip.

A group of buddies of mine always go on an annual fishing trip. We are based in Minneapolis, so we have a lot of options. We have big boats and have gone to Rainy, LOW, Crane, VNP, Etc. This year we are looking for ideas for a good/wild adventure, we do not mind camping or putting in some work but would prefer to use our motors (already did a quetico trip). We are OK with spending some money but need to keep it in reason (need to be boat-in or drive-in). We are primarily walleye fisherman, but will go for pretty much anything. Any good ideas or suggestions that may be outside the norm for quality fishing?? Up for any and all suggestions. Looking for under an 8 hour drive from MPLS-- but could stretch it... Feel free to PM me also.
