Looking for your recommendations for good walleye fishing lake with cabins, boat rentals, etc. Possible locations I have looked at so far are Vermilion, Kabetogema, Ely, Grand Marais/Gunflint Trail. This would be a trip for my wife and I. Any information appreciated. Thank you!

I don't have any specific resorts to recommend, and haven't fished Vermilion very much, but ......

I fished a tournament on Vermilion a few years ago and LOVED it. My partner and I keep saying we need to get back there with the wives and kids. Fishing was fantastic, not just for walleyes, the multi-species action we had was really fun. The lake is nice and scenic, a really unique mix of gorgeous vacation homes and undeveloped wilderness. And there's a lot of good vacation amenities in the area that you can get to from the lake, like the casino and some other bar & grills. Try the Vermilion forum for more info.

I also like Kab and Ely and Grand Marais, but for a family vacation I would vote for Vermilion unless you're looking for more seclusion, more wilderness.

Give Ely a shot.

We go (but not this year) up to Timber Trail Lodge in Ely for 8 yrs or so. It is on a chain of lakes. Good Eye and Smallie fishing. Biggest Smallies I've caught up there are a 21 " & 22 1/2. (Released)

Easy fishing also. Just slip bobber fish with tiny glow jigs and leeches.

If you can find them, huge Crappies in Farm lake. I have a 16 1/2" replica from there.

Contact Bill @ Timber trail. You won't be disappointed.

Check out Cass Lake. Super easy lake to walleye fish, good perch, great muskie and good for everything else. (Raps shallow morning and night) Reasonable resort rates and lots of options. Plus tons of awesome small lakes, plus other great big lakes are nearby.

      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.
