planning a trip

[Stickhick86]

I have not been able to go ice fishing with my father in a very long time. My time in the service kept me away and now our work schedules can not line up properly. I'm trying to plan a trip to the lake of the woods and using Arnesen's Rocky Point Lodge. When is a good time of the year to get on some monster pike and walleye? Trying to plan for 2019 so my father has plenty of time to figure out days off...etc
any help would be greatly appreciated.

March is probably a good time, but you may want to look at later in February. If they have a down ice year, it can be a bit touch and go if you can get out on the ice to fish. Pretty safe bet that you will have adequate ice in February. That is when we are going next year from Montana. In the several trips we have made to LOW ice fishing, I can't recall ever hooking into a pike. Walleye, sauger, perch, ling/eel pout, and stinky toulipe(sp).
