" I have never caught this many walleyes in my life ice fishing. We caught our limit of crappies in the morning and then our guide from Sunset took us walleye fishing. As soon as the bait hit the bottom you could watch the Vexilar to see one come up and take it… We must have caught over 200 walleyes on our trip…it was non-stop action and it went all day… Best I have ever seen anywhere! My largest was a 27 incher that we made sure to release after a quick picture" Tad W.
"The guys at Sunset put us in one of their fish houses the first day and we did great. The 2nd day they sent us by snowmobile to a crappie hole and the 3rd day they put us on a walleye hole that was the best I ever saw. We caught easily several hundred walleyes over the 3 days with a large of 27 inches.
What a blast!" Mark Wocken

February 2, 2014. Testimonial from Douglas Nelson:
"We took a trip up to Sunset Lodge on Jan. 25th 2014 for the first time up in that area. The fishing was excellent, I have never had to release that many walleyes in the 17 to 19 inch range in any trip to lake of the woods. It was definitely a fisherman's dream come true for my partner and I. My hats off to the two guys out there Doug (the barber) and Shane (wiggles) for an outstanding adventure on the ice. They kept us supplied with bait, and we did go thru alot the way they were biting. Doug was good enough to let us in on some of his hot spots and secret spots of his for some great fishing for walleye and northern pike. I would recommend this resort to anyone that wants a great adventure up in the wilds of Lake Of The Woods. We did the sleeper house and had some great fish fry's out on the ice. Would I do it again? You bet we would, we are making plans soon for another trip this march for some late walleye and northern pike action that will be picking up for the pre-spawn appetite of those big gators....... See ya there!"

Testimonial from Serge and Marina Novitsky received January 9, 2014
"Hello, Sunset Lodge team!
I would like thank you for a wonderful winter vacation that my wife Marina and I had at the Sunset Lodge in late December (26th-29th). I would like to express our gratitude to all those who made it special for us:
- Mark - for helping with reservation and excellent cabin choice for us.
- Brooke - for sending us good directions to the Sunset location along with all other things about crossing border between Canada and US back and forth and helping us later in the lodge restaurant.
- Scott - for his warm welcome upon arrival and help with getting around the camp and its “way of life” in a manner of speaking, and especially for his assistance with starting my diesel Volkswagen Touareg when it was -36F on the morning of departure!
- Doug for his great Bombardier driving skills, cleaning our fish nicely, his guiding service in ice-fishing, and especially for placing us in the sleeper ice-shack vs. regular fishing shack, which was highly appreciated (especially) by my wife.
- Brett, for his excellent cooking skills, passion about Muskie fishing and friendly manners. Food was very good! Man that was the best bacon I ate in many a year, not to mention perfectly fried walleye filets, juicy pork steaks and wonderfully grilled chicken!
I apologize for not mentioning names others – my memory is not as good as it used to be – I should have written this note earlier so my recollections would be fresher. Nonetheless, I would like to thank other individuals too.
We are looking forward to our next year winter adventure and good time at the Sunset Lodge!"
Respectfully,
Serge and Marina Novitsky

"My wife and I took our three kids (16, 14, and 9) to Sunset lodge between Christmas and New Years. We had a blast! We all fished the first full day then my son and I fished a second half day. On the full day we caught 36 'eyes up to 23 inches, a sauger, a tullibee, and a MONSTER lake trout up to the hole but broke the line. Everyone caught fish and despite being -35 degrees the fish house was warm-no jackets required. Second(1/2) day my son and I caught 8 'eyes with the biggest being 27 inches. The staff was friendly and helpful, cabins homey and the knotty pine lodge and full bar was fun to hang out at with other customers and staff. Our kids had no cell coverage and I definitely think you should add that to your sell sheet! It was fantastic to be technologically disconnected and they found that it is possible to have fun without being "plugged in". Your lodge comes with our highest recommendation.
Thank you so much for a wonderful get away!
Sincerely,
Colby Smith"

"One of the things I vividly remember is the ride through the woods on Oak Island in the Bombardier. It was fun to start the day seeing fresh Timberwolve and deer tracks."
"Once we got to the warm ice house, limits of walleye came easily,
with our best day totaling 66 fish."

"Your staff is impressive...especially Doug. We had his cell phone number and he encouraged us to call him if we needed anything, so we did. We were in distress (out of beer). Within an hour he brought us a fresh 12 pack of Michelob Golden. Doug's a keeper!"
"At the end of the day, everyone gathers in the cozy fish-cleaning house. It's exciting to see all of the walleye everyone's caught! It turns into a fish cleaning party."
"We caught lots of walleye in the 16-18 inch range."
"The lodge and restaurant are 5 star phenomenal.
It was always a great way to end the day, eating walleye."
-Thanks again Sunset crew! Scott and Mike

On the full day we caught 36 'eyes up to 23 inches, a sauger, a tullibee, and a MONSTER lake trout up to the hole but broke the line. Everyone caught fish and despite being -35 degrees the fish house was warm-no jackets required. Second(1/2) day my son and I caught 8 'eyes with the biggest being 27 inches. The staff was friendly and helpful, cabins homey and the knotty pine lodge and full bar was fun to hang out at with other customers and staff. Our kids had no cell coverage and I definitely think you should add that to your sell sheet! It was fantastic to be technologically disconnected and they found that it is possible to have fun without being "plugged in". Your lodge comes with our highest recommendation.
Thank you so much for a wonderful get away!
Sincerely,
Colby Smith"
