The fishing action has been good this week. Crappies, Walleyes, Muskies, Bass, Pike, you name it we have been enjoying it. Our island hideaway will be open until Oct 13. Give us a call at 800-772-8411 to make a last minute trip before the snow flies. We will then re-open for winter ice fishing mid-December. Sportsman’s Lodge on the Rainy River will not close for freeze up and will have lodging available right through the fall.
Walleyes
Nice healthy 16”-18” walleyes have been fruitful around points especially on the west side of Falcon Island, Deep Water Bay and Soldier’s Point just a hop, skip and a jump from the lodge. Jigging with a minnow works well.
Crappies
Anglers enjoyed another great week of crappie fishing. Points in 33’-35’ of water has been good, with a jig and minnow.
Muskies
Fall is a great time! Trolling in 8’-10’ along shorelines has worked well this week. Triple D’s, Grandma’s and Jake lures have been hot.
Pike
Nice 25”+ pike have been found in the same areas muskies have been lurking, 8’-10’ along shorelines.
Bass
Casting cowgirls along shorelines has been the most successful approach.
Book your winter trip! Online or call 800-772-8411 today!

Greetings to all,
My group came out of the Oak Island resort after 4 days of phenomenal fishing! The staff was nothing short of awesome. I found out on Saturday by a phone call to the lodge that my father in law had passed away. All the staff and big Jim Johnson who just happened to be at the lodge were there for me for the morning while part of my group had gone back to the main land. I believe things happen for a reason and as a friend of mine once said ” Good things happen to good people” and that surely describes you all! We will definitely be back next May or October or both! Thank you all!
