So where were we? Oh right, Carrie and I had hiked three miles through the bush to an infamous muskie lake and a giant one had just T-boned my bait mid-air. When fish and bait splashed back into the lake, I attempted a hook set and felt the bait slip, but the fish was still …
The 2015 season was over for us quite a few days ago. But we made time for one last adventure to chase the elusive muskie before departing this fall. Many of you are aware there is a chain of lakes southeast of the lodge where muskies have secured the upper hand and are the dominant …
The lodge won’t quite look the same next season. That’s because we installed our first solar panel this fall before departing! That’s right, the lodge is now harnessing the power of the sun. This project had been on the wish list for some time. This panel produces about 240 watts of power. The panel controller …

The SSVs have plenty of features that we love. The walkthrough in the center makes it easier to move about …

The last couple weeks of the season yielded plenty of big fish. It was hard to keep everything straight and we have a few pictures yet to upload, but here goes: Larry put this 20″ walleye back. Neil caught a nice 18″ smallmouth bass. Steve put this big pike back. This pike had a very …
As I mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to share our experience of going to the walleye tournament weigh-in on Saturday a little more in-depth. Typically, this tournament takes place the weekend we are bringing in our last group for the summer. Travis and I are usually busy picking up and orienting a full …
