Happy New Years! Tomorrow night we will be welcoming 2015 with a free champagne toast!!

Fishing Report

Every day we are moving further North into the deeper water. The number of fish kept per house has increased, so moving out has shown to be a productive strategy. We are staying aggressive this winter and will do all we can to keep our customers on fish. Mornings and evenings have had the most action. Either 34′ over mud or 21-28′ from the Gap towards Morris Point. Hot colors are gold with glow red, green and glow colors tipped with minnows. Active jigging showing the best results, electronics helpful.

A few of us spent our Christmas fishing! The ice conditions are great! There are a few spots everyone should slow down to travel safely and comfortably, but the ice is thick and smooth in the high traffic areas. If you like portable fishing with a wheeler or side by side right now is the time to do it! Christmas Eve two of our ice workers did some exploring and caught fish all day long; they were only two fish short of their limit. Christmas day the bite slowed down but we moved around a bunch and ended up keeping enough to eat and also caught a couple of nice slot fish!
Right now is one of the most fun times to spend up on Lake of the Woods! Bring your wheelers, portables and wheel houses up and enjoy the holidays!

Fishing Report

Anglers working lines are catching fish. Jig in one hole and use a dead stick in the other. Good variety of sauger, walleye, perch, eel pout and even some crappies. From 4 Mile Bay, Pine Island and Morris Point Gap try 18-28′ or 31′. From Zippel Bay, Long Point, Twin Islands and Rocky Point try 24-26′. Hot colors are bubble gum, gold, and glow/red.  On a dead stick use a plain hook tipped with a live minnow. The best fishing has been in the mornings and afternoons. Electronics are always helpful in finding those suspended fish cruising 5-6′ off bottom.

 

Our lake access is still open to the public. Please check in at the office when you arrive. There is 20 - 22 inches of ice on the lake. The resort will be closed on Christmas eve and Christmas day and we hope everyone has a safe and awesome holiday!

We had a great weekend! We experienced temps above freezing which made transportation and fishing on the ice very sloppy. We are thankful the extended forecast shows it will not rise above 32 degrees! There is 16-17 inches of ice on the lake with some spots still as thick as 19 inches. We are allowing full size vehicles and wheel houses out of our access, but for a future heads up our lodge, lake access, bar and restaurant will be closed on Christmas Eve and Day. It was awesome visiting with fishermen, hearing big fish stories and other adventures everyone was getting into this weekend. Some groups would catch their limits each day with almost every group taking their limits home. Multiple gorgeous slot fish, some perch, eel pout and sturgeon making this weekend such a success. The best depth still has been wavering day to day, but I believe 21-22 feet has been the most productive. Hot colors have been pink, gold, green and glow working best with a live minnow or a frozen shiner head.

It seems like the hot depth for the best bite has been changing everyday. The last few days they have been catching most of the fish anywhere from 16-28 feet of water. Action throughout the day with some limits. Anglers have been weeding through small fish for keepers. Bright colors, green, pink, or glow working best with live minnow or frozen shiner heads. Please send us an email or give us a call with any questions. Thank you for your business and friendship! See you this weekend!!

We are open and it feels great!! Tonight's feature in the restaurant is our savory 12 ounce Ribeye. Our long time friends from the area and around the state have already started filtering in and the atmosphere is awesome! This weekend our access is open to small SUVs (chevy blazers), ATVs and other light weight vehicles. We have 14" of ice on the lake and most of the fish have been taken out of 18-26 feet of water. Hot colors have been gold, orange, pink and anything that glows tipped with live minnow on bobber line or a frozen shiner head on a jigging spoon. The fish are biting light so it's best to use a smaller presentation. Hopefully everyone is having a great December and we are looking forward to a great season!
