Can anyone tell me a good ice fishing spot and/or guide service around Minnesota? I am looking to plan a trip sometime and I've never been ice fishing before so I would like some information if anyone has any.

Lake of the Woods is a very good lake for winter fishing. Lots of resorts with alot of different packaged plans, day angling houses and sleeperhouse rentals, ect. Ice season up here kicks off earlier than most other lakes in the state and the ice stays later. Check the resort locator page off the home page to get an idea of options and package prices.

Check the Mille Lacs Resorts and Judd's on Winnibigoshish. They are also pretty good in their own rights for a first timer to hook up with a guide.

Also check with Walleyedan in the Brainerd Forum he can help you out also.

Just click the "Forums Home Page" link on the upper left here. Then you will see the "Resort Locator" link at the Top. The Brainerd Forum will be in the Regional Forums below it a bit.

I can recommend Carlson's Ice Fishing up at Angle Inlet (on the NW Angle.) We have fished there with Robert Carlson and this last December, he put us on so many fish we were all blown away. It's a long drive but if you want a real experience, it's a lock. He will transport you to and from the fishouse and provide minnows as well. He knows the area like the back of his hand. There's also some great, inexpensive lodging up there too.....T

Ditto what T-Bone said. I've fished with RC Carlson's operation about a dozen times since 1996, and have never been disappointed.

Based on the size and number of walleyes we caught last December, I am counting the days until ice.

HEY, and if your in the mood for some awesome crappie fishing, just go to the Upper red lake part of this forum, and get ahold of Kelly P.
I made it up there a couple times last winter and will definetly be going back.
I didn't get ahold of kelly until the end of the season when the ice wasn't in very good shape so I couldn't hook up with him, but I hear hes DA MAN.

I will agree with GISSERT/T-BONE on the northwest angle. If you need a guide I personally will take you up there myself if it is ok the other guys and room availability. If your into walleyes, we were on a 100+ walleye days up there. We usually go the middle of December. No guide fees, just take care of your share of food, bait, lodging, and gas.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
