Fishing & Boat Rentals

As you relax in one of our well equipped rental boats from the 16.5 ft to 18 ft fishing boats, or one of our pontoon rentals from 16’ up to a 23’ Party Barge you will begin to unwind and enjoy the moment before feeling the strike of a walleye on your line.

Our shoreline of 11.5 miles is pure natural fish habitat, except for the 2 sandy beaches created 50 years ago at the 2 resorts that still exist on the three lake chain. Walleye caught will be mostly in the 8 to 15 ft range using live bait rigs.

Of course a Minnesota fishing vacation includes catching Northern Pike! Spring is a super time for fishing in northern Minnesota. The Northern seem to be biting on everything, but Lindy rigs and jigs are good for starters. We’ll begin with minnows in early Spring, then later in the year switch to leeches. The funny thing is while you're fishing for Walleye, Northern are jumping on the line. In the summer, Northern Pike like to sit on the 10-15 foot flats with the Walleye.

The Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are some real lunkers. The Bass hang out around the weeds and also the 6 to 9 foot water - just off the weeds. Spinner baits and plugs are the best baits to try. Even in the heat of the Summer, heading out early will be sure to get you a couple in the boat.

Skimming around one of our 3 islands brings you to some shallows. In these shallows is one of our most enjoyable types of fish, the Panfish. We have Bluegills, Pumpkinseed, Sunnies, and Perch. Use a piece of nightcrawler, grub, or jig as bait. Sometimes it’s hard keeping the bait in the water, as you are either catching these pan fish or they are stealing the bait. The slab size Sunnies, and Bluegills, have been very prevalent the last few years. Kids really go for the Perch, Sunnies, and Bluegills, because they are fun to catch and they don’t get bored. Fishing in about 6 to 9 feet of water brings the best success.

The shoreline is loaded with weeds allowing natural proliferation of all the fish species. Crappies are best caught in the Spring just after spawning. Crappies tend to hang out around the many sunken islands in Little Turtle Lake.

The Northern, Walleye, Crappie, Bass and even Panfish eat a lot right after spawning. They have gotten over the stress of the spawn and they are hungry. That’s why early Spring is a great time to come, as right after spawning, the fish are almost hitting on anything. Making our resort a Minnesota fishing destination.
