What would you chase and where?

[erikwells]

I love to fish but have little time since the birth of my son December 1, 2002. I have been on the ice once since he was born. I live near Elk River. However my wife and son will be spending a week in San Francisco January 15-21. I intend to do some serious fishing. Anyone have any recommendations for someone that wants to make the best of their limited time to be a serious fisherman? Thanks..

I have to agree with LOW. My wife is originally from the area (IFalls) and in the insurance biz. One of her clients owns a resort on LOW and lets us use a fishhouse with supplies for $10 a weekend (good friends=good perks and it doesn't hurt that her dad is a fishing guide up there). Man is the walleye bite incredible! Can't stop icing those guys when they're hungry.

So the wife and kids are gone for a couple of days. What Time should I come over and should I bring the beer or steaks?

I sounds like this may be your only trip of the year, so I will follow along with the rest and say LOW.

Hey Erik!
LOW. You'll catch more fish in a day or two there than you would in a whole winter on Martin.

Make a trip to LOW, and don't forget to spend an evening on URL. You just can't beat them. LOW has some of the best trophy 'Pout fishing you'll ever find!!

Love them 'Pout!

If you can't travel far, mille lacs is always a power house, and it's not that far away.

If this looks to be your only ice fishin of the season, . . . I would find someone to feed the horse, and what ever else needs to be done at home, and head to L.O.W.

[erikwells]

Thanks all. Appears to be unanimous LOW. I may be tied down locally being I have horses that need to be fed. Any suggestion 1 hour within Elk River?

Maybe not this year but I am going to the lake of the Woods. You guys make it sound like you catch so many fish that you get sore.

If you are stuck closer to home. I do hit Mille Lacs a few times a year maybe we could hook up. I'm also from Elk River. Taking my 5 yr old out today. First trip of year for him, he sure is excited. If your intrested shoot me an email. [email protected] thanks Scott...

I really should be fishing right now !!!
