Fishing Trip

Recommended Posts

Alright me and a buddy of mine are wanting to go on a fishing trip before school starts here soon. We were thinking of going to Vermillion but looking closer LOW is closer for us. We are wanting to get in to the small mouth and mabey walleye a little. Any one have a opinion between those to lakes or even a different one. And if you have been there any good resorts?

Thank you

I not that familiar with the smallmouth bite on the US side of LOW, but I've never known or heard of anybody going there to target smallmouth. Rainy is a good bet for smallmouth and walleyes. Vermillion is a good lake as well, but its very busy until after Labor Day. My preference would be Rainy.

Man you guys have a world class walleye factory right in your back yard smile

We were on Devils a couple weeks ago and had the trip of a lifetime! We caught hundreds of walleyes. Most of which were 14-17", some bigger, some smaller. Also got into a few slob pike. It was one of the best open water fishing experiences I've ever had smile

I dont mind fishing for walleye, i do it a fair amount just because the nearest lake with bass is a ways away. Iv fished devils quite a few times with luck but i just have and always have loved bass fishing. So many different lures and tactics you can throw at them.

I fished spirit wood two weekends ago, caught lots of fish but i think the biggest may have been 14inches. Ill keep rainy lake in mind when i start doing more looking. If any one has any other lake throw them out! i love fishing new water, always something different to learn.

Thanks for the responses.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
