If one was to share a trip up to fish Mille Lacs for the weekend what would a guestamation on cost be? Lets say I met someone in Redwing or up in the cities that was going with thier boat.
I have never been up there and would JUMP on the chance(if the $$$ was there) to go for the weekend if the offer ever come my way and would split the cost,from fuel to housing and everything inbetween..
Looking for just a Guestamation 
Do you drink beer?

Do you drink beer?
or more properly, to add: “If so, how much?” 
I do drink but its not part of my fishing and would expect to cover ot 100% myself if I choose to do so
Most I know couldnt even taste the little bit I do drink
OK, now that the beer question is out of the way. Here would be my breakdown.
Gas for truck: Red Wing to Isle is 155 miles, 12 mpg pulling a rig, gas at $3.00, plus a little back and forth $100
Gas in boat: Mille Lacs is a big lake, $40-$80 depending on the motor you have.
Lodging: Cabin rentals vary, but normally $50-$100 per person a night depending on where you stay.
Bait: LB of leeches, $20
Food: I’m kinda fat and hungry so, $75
Misc: Because you always forget something, $40
How’s that? Drop in the bucket compared to the Molson and Sapphire budget… 
Geez if I get an offer like that, thank god I have left over vension summer sausage and sticks, or else my food bill would still be $75….. and lets not start on the beer budget….that’s what old mil is for! 
sorry just had to add that
Thanks ..Thats what I call a good guestamation 
Are weekends your only option?
Stuart,
no they are not, as I am not part of working force at this time 
, but I have always wanted to go up there and what better to go there than with an IDA member and someone who knows the area 
Sorry, and I know this doesn’t help, but this sounds like the mastercard commercial to me. Cost of a trip to Mille Lacs….PRICELESS!!
