Bobbers Down!
Walleye and sauger fishing has been good! Nice mix of quality sized saugers and walleyes have been coming up through the holes this week along with some nice big walleyes 24”-28” in length.  Rattle spoons, gold jigs and anything with a flash tipped with a minnow have been working the best. Vexilar users tend to see better results. Jigging right on bottom or even 3-4 inches off has been working well. We have houses scattered in 26’-32’ of water in mud and structure. Most days the ride is about 45 minutes each way. This is not the same way every year, it just happens to be where the best fishing is this year.   Weather forecast looks mild this week.  Highs in the 20’s and lows in the single digits. Give us a call to reserve your trip 800-862-8602 or reserve online.  We fish until March 31!

Trail Report
The lake trail from the south shore of Lake of the Woods to Oak Island was moved yesterday due to some pressure ridge issues. The new trail is in much better shape and will is being groomed today.  The Baudette to Warroad trail will be re-routed later this week or next for the same reasons.   Like always be sure to use caution especially when temperature changes fluctuate rapidly.  Snow conditions are ok at this time. We could use more, however riders are finding some decent conditions on some of the trails. For more information on the land trails, click here for the Drifters Snowmobile Club Facebook page for the Baudette area and here for the Northwest Angle Edge Riders Club for the northwest angle and oak island area.
