Eelout festival

Anyone going to the eelpout festival? I am planning on going and am looking for a good resort to go out of and stay at for a few days it’s only me going since my buddy’s schedule at work got messed up

Since you’re going alone, I’m curious what you’re expecting to get out of it? If you honestly think it’s a fishing derby, you’ll be disappointed. If it’s boozing and people watching, you’ll be well satisfied!

I got a few other friends going up that I will be meeting up with once up there I’m just looking for a place to stay overnight

Preferably an ice House rental on the lake somewhere

I think there is a Marine Dealer near the Casino that rents fish houses if I remember correctly. Sorry I can’t recall the name. They might be worth a shot, although could be hard so close to the festival. Otherwise some resorts like Horseshoe Bay have a hotel, but that is a little bit of a drive from the Festivities.

It is a fun time if you are just looking to party and people watch. Many interesting things! Be careful locking up all your stuff though. We had a propane tank stolen right off the front of our house a couple years ago with about -30 below wind chill. Luckily we had enough propane in the other tank to get through the night. Lack of respect + Booze is a bad combo.

It has been quite a few years but we rented a sleeper shack from Walker Rental. Worked out pretty well. We even caught a few walleyes and a ‘pout the first night. Then the boozing and people watching took over…
