Winter 2025 Newsletter

Happy New Year from all of us at Sunset Lodge!

Fishing Report:
Up on Oak Island, walleye and sauger fishing remains consistently good. Shallower houses late in the day are reporting some of the best fishing they have ever experienced.

Our deeper houses are producing slot fish with regularity, multiple approaching the magic 30 inches! Schools of fishing moving through mid-day keep the action consistent and the occasional monster pike keeps it interesting. Jumbo perch pass through here and there with one house catching 8 perch between 12-14.” 

A fresh 1.5” of snow will improve trail conditions once the wind subsides and they can be groomed.  Side x sides and ATV traffic is still easy with no substantial snow in the 10-day forecast. 

Pay close attention around cracks and heaves as ice expands and contracts at a faster rate during temperature swings without snow to insulate. 

Ice in our area is averaging 18”, some places as much as 24”.
