looking for fishing buddy's.

[Dakota Iceman]

Hello all. I live on interstate 90 in south dakota. here is my dilemma...over the last two years i have aquired most of the toys that make ice fishing comfortable ie: atv, portable ice shack,gas auger ect... As some of you may know, once i made these purchases mother nature in all of her cruelness has shafted me big time!!! The ice never really was what i consider "safe" on the missouri river where i live last year. So...im starting to think i may have to do some traveling this year. I am approximatly two hours from the minnesota/south dakota border. I prefer to fish for walleye, but perch and gills would be great too!! Anyone have some good suggestions for lakes in minnesota say within a couple of hours of sioux falls?? Quite possibly will be traveling with wife and two kids so im also interested in good family fun lodging. Any replies would be appreciated.

from Sioux Falls, head north a couple hours.
I especially like Watertown for trips with the family. Two lakes just minutes from town. Family can spend time at the hotel pool and mall while you fish.

Iceman where do you live now? There are some fabulous lakes in the east/northeast part of the state.

I currently live in the chamberlain area of south dakota (central part of the state.) Looking for names and location of viable places to go. Thanks, Kelly.

Dakota,

If you are interested I would gladly trade you a trip to Upper Red Lake in search of those giant slabs for a weekend of pheasant hunting.

Hey Paul, are you interested in farmed birds and guranteed shots or do you prefer real hunting? There are a number of options open here....obviously the pricetag makes a big diffrence in your experience. Hey...for that matter.....we could just say we went bird hunting...and visit the infamous congo club in mitchell sd......maybe a little beaver hunting instead eh? lmao!!

[Dakota Iceman]

Not a problem rick......i assume you meant joining in on the beaver hunt? either way, the ringnecks have been good this year and we all know its better to hunt beaver in the winter......the pelts are thicker and furrier!

[Rick]

I meant the Pheasant-URL exchange, although I would also enjoy checking out the Fishing on the Missouri as well.

It's not the Congo club, it's North Cabelas!

Not all people know of the Congo Club!! Just tell them when you buy a beverage of choice they give 1 dollars bills in return
and South Cabela's takes credit cards!!!
