Return to Table of Contents Return to "Our Fishing" Almost everyone who comes to the resort says that just being here is great and any fish they catch are an added plus. Well, this page is for those "added pluses" that make the trip "Up North" even better. All the pictures below were taken in 2010. The year got off to a slow start, picture wise, but I'm finally getting some great pics to post here. There weren't many "big" fish caught early this summer but since July began, we have seen quite a few very nice fish. Fishing has been very good all season long but guests have been taking pictures with their digital cameras instead of having me take the pictures. Just keep sending in those photos, folks, and I'll get them posted. |

Last year, I had George Porter's picture here with a big crappie. This year,
it's these beautiful jumbo perch.
And George wasn't the only one catching jumbos and lots of them. For about two weeks, mid-September, everybody had limits of jumbos and it didn't seem to take very long to catch them either. You do a lot of sorting but it's constant action. It's hard to believe but you're bringing in a fish and 10 more are chasing it up to the boat. Gotta love the jumbo perch. |

Mid-September, 2009 Girl Lake has some beautiful largemouth bass and a few smallies but most of our guests catch smallmouth bass out on Woman Lake. Woman has great smallmouth structure with many rocky bars next to deep water. Jim Jacobsen is pictured below with a tremendous 5 lb. plus smallmouth that he released after we got pictures taken. What a great fighting fish smallies are. |

Mid-August Crappies have been making a great come back the last couple of years. There are a couple of real sweet spots on Girl Lake that produce excellent catches of crappie over 10". But we don't often see many at 13 1/2". Chris Engman caught this beauty fishing and his fishing partner, Tony Weeks, caught a 14" fish about the same time. Both of them released these big ladies to spawn again next spring. |

Here's a great story. Vic Martinez is one of my real serious crappie fishermen. He has a very simple but somewhat different technique that he occasionally shares with others that always seems to bring home the nice crappies. So when I heard about some big crappie biting out in Lantern Bay, Vic, his friend Tony and Vic's son Cruz fired up the boat and headed out one morning. They were trolling for crappie in deep water when Cruz, using a #6 hook on a Lindy rig, thinks he's snagged a weed. His pole stays bent over hard but there's this little twitch every once in a while that feels like something more active then a weed. Finally, the sinker comes above water and they look over the side and see this thing laying along side the boat. With only a little #6 hook in the flesh at the corner of it's mouth, they know they only get one chance with the net. A net, by the way, that's only half as deep as the fish is long. One big scoop from behind and into the boat. Now the fish decides things aren't right and the flopping and jumping starts. Barefoot Cruz has to dance just to stay out of the way. Finally subdued, the tape measure comes out to see if it's a legal fish. 37". So it's into the live well to be mounted. Cruz and Tony are pictured below. Next summer, I hope to have a picture of the mount. |

Kandi Daby and her family have been coming to the resort for 5 or 6 years now, I think. Out with her Dad one morning on Girl Lake, Kandi brings in this beautiful 27" walleye. I think it was bigger than all the rest of the fish they caught the rest of the week.

Nice bass are pretty common on Girl Lake. But this one was exceptional.
Glen Graham caught and released this 22" beauty early in June. In weighed
in over 6 lbs. Thanks for letting her go back in the lake, Glen.
She'll be bigger next year and you know where she likes to hide.
