Where To Go For This Year's Annual Outing??

Go to Winnie, stay at Judds, they have a big new cabin/trailer, we stayed in it last year it was a blast! Unless you want to stay on the ice around the clock. Jumbo perch are biting year around, plus you can catch just as many and just as nice walleyes as Mille Lacs.

Good Luck

If you're already considering URL, why not do the AM at LOW ? It's only 45 minutes from Washkish to LOW... and after the walleyes stop biting around dusk on LOW ...pack up, and get to Red for the evening crappie bite!

I put LOTS of miles on my truck doing this last winter ....and plan on LOTS more this year !
What more can you possibly ask for ???

The yearly "big ice outing" is nearing us,
and me and the guys are considering a change
up. We have been at Mille lacs the last couple, and are considering other options,
like maybe an Upper Red/ Winnie trip??
Anyone else do a split trip like this.
Granted, the "walleye factory" is close
but you can only take so many pictures,
plus all the pigs look the same. The lack of jumbos, or any perch for that matter, last
year,is one of the reasons we looked to
try other places. How bout Leech and ???
Thanks for any ideas.

Ps Rainy/LOW are really too far

We hit the Blackduck and Upper Red Lake area. We stay at the Drake Motel in Blackduck which is about 1.5 miles from Blackduck Lake which we hit in the morning and early afternoon for walleyes and the jumbo perch (some of which have gone up to 12 to 13 inches and then in the afternoon it's off to Upper Red for the huge crappies and the hopes of getting a monster pike. We like staying at the Drake because the rates are reasonable, the rooms are clean and comfy, they have a fish cleaning room, they do fising reports on their HSOforum, and last winter did fishing contests. They love fishing, so it usually doesn't take too much to talk them into joining you on the lakes and show you the latest hot spots. Plus Winni isn't too far away either. Their site is drakemotel.com.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
