Biggest walleye caught 25 1/2 inches, largest northern caught 35 1/2 inches. Take the tour around Gull-Zionz, and back. It is well worth it! Great adventure, we'll be back!! Thank you

Group: Erickson

Report: The facility was outstanding! Awesome views from all sides of the cabin. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Fishing was equally as good. Bottom bouncers with spinners proved to be right on producing many 15-19 inch fish, with the largest being 23 inches. Afew northerns 26-36 inches picked up along the way. Used chartruse gulp and gulp leeches worked very well and didnt need to worry about live bait. Trip of a lifetime for my wife and me.
