Got 1st Trip Planned
« on: Nov 19, 2012, 01:01 AM »
Well going to hit Waubay for some ice in mid January. Hope will have some good ice up there. Have not ice fished there. Staying at a house they rent out I guess with a few guys. Anybody else got any sweet hard water trips planned.

Yes I do have a trip planned. Me and some of my Scheels fellow employees, are going up to Red Lake and fish acouple smaller lakes in that area. A friend of mine used to live up there and fish, so we kinda have a guide for us, since I have never been there.

We're going to Waubay for my honeymoon over New Years weekend. Rented a house from Sportsmans Cove. Very reasonable price.

That is awesome Rich, I'm not sure I could pull that one off! I guess gotta pop the ? 1st...Hope there is good ice up there for you tho

Shane, you got reservations up in LOW yet? If not check out Lyons Sleepers. Great guys. Me and buddy and his kid are thinking of going back, haven't planned anything yet tho.

Now debating if I want to fix my sled that I blew up last year........

nothing planned yet, but I wanted to do a sleeper just because the prices are better.  how much were they, and were you on good fishing?

$254 for 3 days n 3 nights for a weekend deal, 4 guys minimum. I think we left on a Wed noon and got to Baudette late, got hotel. Got up early and on ice at 6:30-7. Caught fish immediatly. Stayed in shack Thur, Fri, Sat night, and left early Sunday. Hot bite from 7 til 10, cool off til 2 then bigger fish til 4 or so. Night bite nada, tho a few eelpout were caught

We were on fish and they did not move our shack, but we worked at it. Had a few satillite shacks within a hundred yards or so. Other guys in group had their shack moved and did help a little but they were not fishin as hard. Had a blast. lots of fish in 14-17 range. Great rollin out of bed, throw a minnow on and catch fish, in your long jons...heh

Oh, they even let me drive the Bombadier!

Lake of the Woods, early Jan.  I'm pumped, my first time there but I am going with some fellas that have experience.  We are staying in a sleeper, if your awake you can fish.

Headed to URL the first week of Feb. It is the earliest I could go. The way it's going here, it might be first time out.

Just a little note. If you like all your stuff and don't want to pay a heavy fine stay off lower red  !!!

You have to go in front of the tribal council to gain access to Lower Red, but theres also more stipulations. Someone told me you have to fish a bunch of other smaller pothole lakes with a Native guide first them they'll CONSIDER letting you on Lower.

Hard to beat Upper Red for action, we've always done great there too.  We are hitting LOW first of January this year.
