Red Lake ideas?

[outdoor ran]

Hey guys, i've been put in charge of planning a 2 day ice fishing trip on Red for 6-8 guys. I was thinking about renting a cabin on shore at first but now I'm thinking about doing the sleeper thing. None of us have ever stayed in a sleeper.

I'd like to hear the good and bad points of renting sleepers? Can anyone recommend who has nice ones on Red that sometimes catch fish Are there any I should avoid? Thanks for any advice

Kelly P, Kelly p, Kelly P, Kelly P.

Did I mention Kelly P??? He's the man on Red. If he can't show ya a good time you are physcially unable to have fun.

Just make sure Kelly knows what you want, dont just tell him you want a sleeper for 6 guys, make sure you through the word nice in there some ware.....or you might get an old constrution trailer with two twin beds and a non vented heater. Don't get me wrong I like the guy just make sure he knows what you want

I read on these forums at one time one resort owner on Red buys new Ice Castle fish houses every year, selling them at the end of the season. Seems to me they were big ones too.

Sorry I dont have any more info then that.

Also make sure you get what you ordered.....we were told our house had a stove/cooker so we planned meals accordingly. No cooking stove when we arrived and said house we were quoted as having was off in the distance with someone else in it. Plus, the bunks were like sleeping in a coffin for three of the five guys. I have gone with Westwind the past couple of years and loved it. Oh, and stay on the ice....fun times.

Google "russ and judy" and use the first link. Russ and his brother Beaver are good people. He buys 3 new 8x18 v front houses each year and sells them after the season.

Bear Paw Guides!!

Steve will set you up with what ever you want-sleeper, dayhouse, cabin. Just tell him what you want to fish for. Also very reasonable

Glad to hear that! We've got 2 sleepers booked with him in January.

Ran I have heard very good things about Bearpaw. I know those kids can find the fish. They put us on many many fish when we fished with them. I think 1 of them won the Red Lake Iceleaders event back a few years.

hey ran bear paw is good and I have heard good things about russ and judys to. when are you going?

All the outfits that have been mentioned are all good choices. It is a must to stay on the lake. The crappies will make runs during the night and the walleyes bite all nite. There aren't alot crappies being found the last year so the more you have a line wet the better your chances are....
