walleyefey Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 posty, Pudge and I have made a lot of trips up to Waubay, however, we typically stay in my sleeper house. I do know that the grenville sportsmart has two nice houses that can accomodate many people and the houses are located just a few paces off the water. Try fishing around school bus point and the island just south of the point. I will typically try and find waters of 20 feet deep and better to find some action. As far as after hours Pudge was right. The Decoy in the town of Webster is a pretty good hang out.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifishsd Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Bunk House motel is Webster is a good place to stay. They have a fish cleaning shack behind the motel. Rates are reasonable, plus they have a bar and a lounge.Pereboom's Cafe is a great place for a hot home cooked meal after a cold day on the lake. It's right on the corner of Highway 12 & 25.check out my profile for my Homepage. I have links to SD fishing report websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskeez Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The bunkhouse is a very popular place to stay, but there are others, do a search for Webster, SD and the Chamber listings. If you stay at the Bunkhouse be sure to ask if there is a dance/band playing on the nights you will be there. If there is you will want a room on the south side of the building or you will be up rockin with them 1/2 the night. If that's your thing then great but if you just go to fish and not party all night it sucks to be up all night. The walls between rooms are also thin, so if you are not one of the drunks that stumble in at 2:00 am you could be awake with them. I don't mean to run the place down as all the other things like the fish cleaning shack(which they charge to use) and the restruant are both very nice. Enjoy your trip. ps. the pizza at the Duck is good as is the Frontier lounge/steakhouse downtown. The local Cafe near the Frontier is also good for B-fast as well as Perebooms.

JerknPerchSD Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The decoy got a lot of my business during hunting season...It's a good place to party. If anyone makes it to Perebooms, tell my girlfriends hi for me...lolThe bunkhouse is my place of choice, clean, reasonable, and the cleaning building is top-notch.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posty Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks everyone for all your replys!! What are the snow conditions like out towards Waubay?? Does Lake Waubay have a road system that you pay to use or is it just drive wherever you can make it? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Carlson Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 No formal tole roads but there has been pay drops on some private access points that work on a honor system. Once your on the ice your on your own. Plenty of trails to the main haunts. The land owners are good enough to keep there areas plowed so drop a few bucks in the can for his efforts.

NWBuck Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Very little snow. A few drifted areas, but you can basically drive anywhere you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
