Hi y'all, glad Tman is up and running again. I'm wanting to book a ice fishing adventure. My range is NY to Minnesota. I'd like a sleeper cabin on the ice for 3 to 5 nights. Nothing fancy, heat, stove, bunk and a porta pot lol. Have any y'all done this and can recommend a outfitter? Or have ya heard good things about any outfitters? Thanks for any help or advice!!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Any specific fish your looking to target? Group of people? If the bite isn't good in the location, are you able to be portable at your discretion?

3 to 5 nights without a shower?

There are so many places in MN to recommend it's hard to pick one. If you want an adventure of sorts in the NE Angle portion on lake of the woods is hard to beat

Me personally, I'm praying Erie gets some ice lol

The walleye bite has been good on Upper Red Lake in MN. Quite a few resorts there offer overnight rentals on the ice. A guy in our sportsmen's club rents out houses for $50 a night per person.


It's not always about catching fish. That's what people who don't catch fish usually say.

Thanks everyone!! Deerfly, good questions. I would like to get into walleye, sauger, perch, and even nice gills and crappie. probably just 2 of us but maybe 3. I'm always portable in a very slow way. grin

Sportsman's Lodge on Lake Of The Woods. Has ok rooms with a meal plan and transportation to and from a ice house every day. I'm sure there are others but that is the place we used to use.

What do you mean? My ice house has a shower (if you need to have one) don't all of them?
