Another licensed guide and myself (Possibly a 3rd) look to hold a 1 week Rainy River Run and Gun in 2013. I can’t tell you how many trip requests I receive that I pass on or simply decline this time of year. As many of you know I’ve bowed out of guiding on the River in past years since my personal March Ice fishing can be so demanding chasing slabs. Still the true fisherman in me can never keep myself from barbing those big Eyes. I’ve often felt many anglers don’t even need a fully guided trip, yet most all of us can benefit from some inside information for spots and presentaions. It can be difficult to gather firsthand information 300 miles away. Thus this concept was born.
Here is tentatively what our 1st annual Rainy River Run with Rainydaze will entail. It will be the last week of the open season starting around April 7th. Anglers will need to bring their own boats/tackle. Myself and at least one good friend/Captain (HAND PICKED) will lead the Charge from an area resort here in Ifalls to the best bites on the Rainy River that 3 local licensed captains can cultivate. Anglers will be lodging in a first class area resort with a beautful bar and supper club at our disposal.
We are looking to do include a mid-day shorelunch and wonderful Chef prepared Fish fry at the resort in the evenings!! All included. Your Job SIMPLE…….Provide WALLEYE and TAKE PICTURES!!
Our goal is to make this trip both educational and cost effective with a heavy splash of DARN RIGHT FUN!! We anticipate this will become a annual event targeting those monster Rainy River Walleyes.
We are going to limit this to 30 guys per day. Your trip can be all 7 days or it can be 1! When our 30 man daily limit is reserved the doors will shut. Some crews are large, so you’ll want to sign up early. The package pricing including lodging, meals and more. It will be tough to beat this group rate pricing in a premier setting on a individual basis with the spot guide service seemingly FREE!! Of course in organizing this I will be using our numbers to gather the best possible deal for lodging and meals for all in attendance!!YOU will NOT be lodging in a dirty sardine can to save a few sheckles I assure you!! Myself and another guide will be available each evening during meals and cocktail hour to talk fishing!! Though we too will be fishing amongst the crew are responsibilities also will etail helping guys back and forth to vehicles from trailer parking, shorelunches, pictures…….. and so on.
BTW……Evenings back at the resort are to feature fish fry’s done up by top area chefs!! THESE BOYS CAN PREPARE WALLEYE!! Might even be some talking smart in these gatherings!! Breakfasts will be on your own, but we will be sure the resort if ready to serve.
Our goal is to kick of the open water season with dedicated Walleye anglers in a cost effective package that is all inclusive; Lodging, Meals and a Spot guide service. Evening talking tackle/fishing with local Guides……Priceless?
Again 2013!! Should mark the kick off.
Further details to be worked out soon.
Lastly here are some possible things to be added to this package as I move forward in the planning; Product/Tackle sampling and filming. Who knows your 33 incher might make you a MOVIE STAR!! If so we ask that book signings and such will be limited to the landings.
Stay Tuned!!
