Where should I go??


Recommended Posts

My dad and one of his buddies want to go to Canada fishing this summer and want me to lead them around. Yeah, they just figured it out, so we don't have a lot of time...

Problem is- They don't want to go to the lake I normally fish because there are no walleyes in it (Lower Manitou).

So, as far as guiding them- I will be as blind as they since whereever we go will be my first time on the lake also.

Looking for a spot with a few specifics:

1. Drive in lake within 3-4 hours from the border (I. Falls area)

2. See few other people on the lake. It doesn't need to be the only cabin/resort, but I don't want to see as many people in a day as I would in the lakes around my home.

3. GREAT FISHING! (duh) smile Walleyes and northerns the primary species. Smallies good too. Muskies would be a BIG BONUS for me- they could care less.

4. Have a decent boat/motor package as we aren't sure we will haul my boat.

5. Reasonably priced.

6. Anything else that makes a great trip.

So, any suggestions on lakes and/or resorts would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!!

You might want to checkout Pipestone Lake as it has all the species and has excellent opportunities at trophy fish. We have an outpost cabin on the lake and that may be of interest to you. Outfitter 17 is on the Manitou stretch and could probably help you out with some options for walleyes for a few days of the trip.

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
