Paul Waldowski Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I agree with Whitetip. If you don't have res's it's going to be a long night ------------------Paul[email protected]MarcumOtter Outdoors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthewall eyes Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Kind of a kick to the jugular with that beautiful 8-10" of white stuff however, did quite well out of long point bringing home 20 over 14" between saugers and eyes nothing big though. Heard good luck coming three miles out of morris point. Good luck with the lodging try the walleye inn. ------------------searchin skys for eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gophish Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 thanks jigemup.yes, we have have shacks lanterns heaters poles and everything, but we are used to small lakes and a few dont ice fish much at all. so we need some general help as far as depths, lures, baits, presentations, structure, times, etc.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bturck Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Gophish: Click on the Lake of the Woods site. Some good info there on lures and depths, as well as area's to fish that were mentioned here. gold is good, Buckshot Rattle, Kazmaster, pink/white Angel Eye jr. plain gold hooks, red hooks. Don't be afraid to switch things up.Lodging could be tough. Baudette Motel is decent, but you may want to jump to the Resort Locator and start calling. They do have cancellations and you might luck out there. We stay at Riverbend which is just before Wheelers Point. Decent luck two weeks ago, and I headed back on 1/19. Have a great time you should have a ball. Good luck, and hang on. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutz Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 gophish, try the hotels in warroad. it's about 35 miles west of Baudette, but we couldn't get in anywhere around the baudette area and we got in at the super 8 in warroad. there's a few hotels there. there's good fishing out there too...good luck and good fishin' fishgutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Gophish,We went out of Zipple Bay last Friday and Saturday. All the hotels were filled up in Baudette and Warroad so we ended up staying just across the border at the Road Runner Motel. I think it was only $50 for a room. Make sure you guys have a vehicle that can get through some snow if it gets windy out there. Good luck and have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
