Help me convince Andy!!

I am trying to explain to Andy Loos, one of the field staff at IDA, how great ice fishing is up at Lake of the Woods. He has never done the “great expance of water” type of ice fishing, and i am trying to get him to do it at the end of december. I have yammered enough to him, so maybe some insite from others who have been up there can help convince him. I just think Lake of the Woods is a whole different ball game that everyone needs to expierence at least one! I am sure andy will be reading this, so direct your comments towards him.

Thanks

Like I always say:

You will catch more fish on a slow day on Lake of the Woods than good days on most other lakes.

If you have a snowmobile, portable, map and GPS, you will catch tons of fish.

This is a typical days catch for our group. We go the first week in March every year.

You have a good chance hooking into a nice gater too.

Yep, I like to refer to it as the promise land. And it close to Upper Red Lake

That nine hour drive will suck driving up my shack!! But ok ok, i will plan on going.

Leave the shack at home. Get a couple guys in a car and rent a house up there. It might save you some money.

You’re lucky you posted Andy…

I was just about ready to get started!

Actually, you shouldn’t go…that nine hour drive will turn into 48 hours…one way each year!

If you don’t stay at Wigwam Resort, at least stop in for dinner one night. Say HI! to Cat! Tell her you’ve never experiance a YB before and you’ll be good to go!

couldn’t agree more with BIGFIFE!!

Get in a honda with your gear and go this weekend or next week!!!

rent a house you will spend have as much on gas as you would to rent a house, plus theres no work envolved! except pounding walleyes, sauger, monster pout and pike all day!!
Call Cat Get a mid week special!

You’ll be doing this every year from here out promise!!

oh yeah someone said something about stocking up on glo red and gold

Could not agree more with everyone. I have been going up there for years. 1st ice is usually asume and at times you cant keep up with two poles. The Wigwam is the place to be. Tom and Cat are very nice. I will be going up there the 9th and 10th. YB are highly recomended.

I have a short one for ya.

First time to LOW the bomber driver dropped us off at our house. He was turning on the heater and I was setting a line (Just a little pumped) Put the bomb on a plain hook with a fathead, dropped it to the bottom. Pulled it up and WHAMO
