Scooter1 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 4 60 year olds capable fisherman but novice walleye chasers. bringing motor home and no vehicle. need advice on best shoreline campground, boat rental,and location on this big lake. Should we stay at Woodlands, EastBay, or Casino. For example the casino only has pontoons and I think that would not be practical for a week of fishing, and they don't allow beer? Any and all help would really make this our retirement trip even more enjoyable. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Welcome to Fishing Minnesota! I'm going to move this to the Devils Lake forum where you might have a better chance to get a response.I would agree with you on not wanting to fish off a pontoon for the week...marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard53 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I only have experience with Woodlands, but can highly recommend it. Great, friendly people that work hard to make sure you have a good trip. Good accomodations with everything you need within walking distance.

Scooter1 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 thanks for the reference. is it somewhat well positioned for fishing areas of the lake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard53 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just a few miles west of the town of Devils Lake. Devil's Lake is a lot of water, so you'll be a long way from the east end. Lot's of fishable water closer to the resort though. Check out their HSOforum for maps or better yet, just give them a call. I didn't know where to start on my first trip out there, but called the resort and they took alot of time to answer all my questions with no pressure to make a quick decision. In fact, I think I called three times before booking anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
