wondering how the weather will be like mid-september on rainy? this is the third year up there, first year was mid july, then mid-august, now mid-sept.just wondering if i should bring my bibs and boots. We are camping and hoping to catch some big ol fat wallies 22 days and counting! can’t wait!!!

we have a sleeper shack set up for 1/4-1/8 out of macs twin bay, we leave in the morning!!! can’t wait, good luck to ya.

heading that way in two days oh ya just wondering to find these slabs do you just go to the crappie crib or can you find these monsters all over the lake? and what presintation would you suggest? targeting walleye but would love to spend a day trying to get my dad and brother on some beutifull rainy lake crappies thanks for any help Justin

sounds like our trip last year, not fast and furious but enough to eat. heading out next week so hope to land lome big ones. nice report though

Hey Chris, just wondering what your favorite line is? Do you use the same line for jigging as you do for pulling spinners? Thanks for any advice.

hey Chris, jus saw your posts on deadliest catches. WOW!!!! Only 9 days left till our trip up there. you must be booked up for a while? Let me know. those photos are great!

thanks for the advice. yes this will be our first time to rainy, and your correct traveling at night is just a bad idea in a new place, especially on rainy. when i was refering to night fishing i was talking about from shore in our camp spot, sorry about the confusion, thats why we are trying to find a good spot that will be hidden from the wind and a nice break to deep water from shore. so what are you soposed to do if a bear does come? thanks for all the info! to bad you only have to put up with all this for a whole month heading out there July 29 but seriously i do appreciate all the advice you all rock!!! thanks Justin

thanks for the advice But i wonder what you meant by be cardful out there? are you talking about the bears eating us, or the underwater rocks eating the boat? I also wonder if a guy can camp on shore outside of VNP on the US side and have a fire? thanks again Justin

thats to bad about the night fishing, thats somthing we really enjoy. we were thinking about camping in lost bay or around there, theres got to be somthing that bites at night other than the skeeters right?

I wonder which lake most people fish for walleyes on: Rainy, Kabetogama, or any of the smaller lakes around there? Im not looking for anyones sweet spot, just trying to figure out where we should camp, because we will be geting there just in time to find a camp spot and do some knight fishing and try to get some sleep for the power fishing we will be doing for the weekend or are they all pretty equal? Any advice is greatly apreciated thanks again for all the help so far Thanks Justin

Im sorry, I was mistaken, he has the Navionics chip NE i know the “N” word but thats the one he has, im not sure if that has Rainy on it. Sorry about the confusion. Thanks for the link of the show and all the information. Justin

Wow thanks for the info so quickly, its very helpfull so far. I just have a couple more quetions for you: the boat we are taking has the hummingbird 595c with the LakeMaster NE chip and im not sure if it has the boarder lakes on it, if not is there a place a guy can rent one so we dont have to buy a seperate chip for one trip? Also as far as licenses go, we are going to be fishing four nites and five days, do they sell a license longer than three days, or do we have to get an annual one? And lastly, the go-to presentation for us around here is usually bottom bouncers with crawler haulers, is this somthing that we will have succes with or should we try ancoring with a jig and minnow over a reef like i saw on the IDO show? Thanks again for all the info, Its just to bad that I have to wait a month before we get to go.
