Lakers on Superior?

A couple buddies and I are hooked on Lake of the Woods lakers, but we don't have the time to head up there for a while (hopefully another trip this year, but we'll see). So we'd like to try them on Superior. I remember seeing good reports from there in years past. We want to do a day trip or two from the Twin Cities.

Anyone have suggestions on where to go out of? What to use? How to target them? Better yet, anyone want to join us for a day trip? We're geared up and ready to go!

Thanks for any help.

i fish cheguamagon bay quite a bit and it has good ice. i know guys target 'em out by the apostle islands using airplane jigs and something called a 'beetle' tipped with strips of herring. i would look on jim hudson's web site for some good info.

Chequamegon is the ONLY place in this end of the lake where you can go for lakers, plenty of ice in the islands now. There is no ice in Duluth now, other than about 100yds out from shore. None of the ice here gets deep enough to consistently target lakers. Some ice comes and goes, but you don't want to be on the wrong side of a crack when the ice breaks away. If you do decide to go out of duluth, drag a boat.

BTW, LOTW is about 2 hours from Duluth, right? Chequamegon is 90 minutes from Superior, i don't know how that could be too far, but LOTW is in reach.

Well according googlemaps, Baudette is 4:45 from Duluth. Then you've got to go quite a ways north from there to get to the lakers up in Whitefish Bay. Really, you'd go to Sioux Narrows which is 5 hours from Duluth.

Sounds like Chequamegon is the place to go. Any decent places to stay...decent, like inexpensive, around there?

Check with Craig at Outdoor Allure. Right next to the bait shop he's got a place he rents out, looks perfect. You can check it out on the HSOforum. I wanna say it would only be like 30 bucks each for 4 guys for a night. Even though i'm coming from Superior, we've been thinking about it, nice to drive there instead of back home.

Other than that, Washburn would be your best bet. Ashland is getting far, Bayfield would cost some coin, and i don't think there's anything in Red Cliff.

LOTW is a 7 hour drive from the cities (door to door), then (almost) another hour on the sleds. Not an ideal day trip. With that much time in driving, we're not going to stay just one night, therefore looking to fish something closer.

I agree with Deathroe, Cheq. Bay is the place to go. I've spent a few nights at the lodge at outdoor allure. You can't beat the price and location. Craig and Joe are more then willing to help you out. If you need a guide, check out Jim Hudson. He's a good guy that knows how to put you on fish.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
