Melgeorges resort on Elephant Lake


Recommended Posts

Well, for anyone looking for a nice getaway from all the hustle and bustle of the every day grind, take a good look at Melgeorges resort on Elephant lake.

The cabins seem very nice with some rustic log cabins. All the convieneces of home included. Just bring your food and drink or maybe relax a bit more and go to the lodge overlooing the lake and enjoy a meal.

As far as the fishing in Elephant, we fished for crappies and I can say this, some very nice crappies running near that 15" mark with many perch, walleye and all some of those hard fighting smallmouth.

Check out Melgeorges for a fun getaway with the family or friends.

All I can say is that the cabins are very nice in a private natural setting with a gorgeous view of lightly developed Elephant Lake. Not only was the fishing very good but it's also great for those folks wanting to hike, snowmobile or observe nature.

We found loads of respectable crappies, walleyes and jumbo perch. It's definitely a great location for those who looking to get away from it all and relax.

Talk about a slice of heaven 10 miles down a scenic drive off of a main highway. Secluded, gorgeous, well kept, comfortable, and lets sneak in some great fishing.... Try to beat it, might be tough. If you don't want the crazy hustle and bustle of a lake with multiple resorts, if you want a cabin with wonderful settings, if you want to get away from your busy life and just relax, plus get some great fishing with great fish like we found. Elephant Lake and Melgeorges Resort are first class and a perfect get away.

If you want to fish, snowmobile, hike, or just get away for the weekend this is the place to go.

The cabins have all the comforts of home with a real nice rustic feel to them. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of every day life on a lake that, as stated before, has some very respectable crappie fishing. I spent a weekend there and didn't want to leave.

If you're looking for a place to get away, catch some real nice crappies, and just plain relax, Melgeorges is the place to go.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
