Good morning to all!
Welcome to another edition of the Wigwam Fisherman’s Blog. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend last weekend. It was Valentines Day so hopefully it put all you fisherman/women in the mood…haha. Jody and I had the opportunity to do a little fishing, but not too much though, because we were very busy at the resort. Every time I go fishing I have a blast, but the fish had
a little case of “Lock Jaw”, because of the high pressure we are currently experiencing, so we didn’t whack them like we are accustom too, but we did just fine…I love fishing!
We are one week closer to the end of ice fishing season on Lake of the Woods, and if you haven’t had the chance to experience the best freshwater ice fishing in the world, you’d better get your buns up here quickly, or you’ll have to wait all summer for the next ice fishing season. Remember that the Ice Fishing Season ends on April 14th. Let the Wigwam Resort help you with your next great fishing tale…I hope to see all your smiling faces up here very soon.
I will be absent from the blog till next Tuesday, because I will be at the Duluth Sports Show at the DECC (tomorrow) February 17th – 21st. If anyone is going to be in the area, please stop in and say hello. While your there, you can book your summer trip with us at a nicly discounted rate, but to get that rate you’re going to have to come and visit me at the show though. See you there!
Just a little FYI, if you’re looking to book a trip on the weekend with us at the Wigwam Resort, you had better call and reserve your rooms/cabins today. There is very limited space available during the weekends till the end of March, book now or forever hold your peace. If you’re looking to come midweek (Sunday night – Thursday morning), please give us a call today, we are offering up to 15% off all fishing packages (only) during February and March (only applicable to new reservations). All the packages can be accessed on our website at http://www.wigwamresortlow.com/.
The lures that have still been working well are the “Gold Disco Ball aka “Strobe Jigs” (made by JB’s Tackle)”, “Stop Signs (Pink or White)”, “Macho Minnows (Pink, Green or White)” “Glow Pink Charmers (made by Tom’s Tackle locally in Baudette), which is my favorite lure to date” and “Chubby Darters/Rapala Rattling Jigs”. You want to be using anything that glows right now to get the best success possible…white and pink have been the best! All these items can be purchased at Log Cabin Bait and Tackle, which is about ¾ of a mile south of the Wigwam on 172. Remember that Vexilars are not required, but they help immensely when fishing off the bottom and marking suspended fish, which has been a common occurrence these days on Lake of the Woods. So, where I’m going with this one is, get a Vexilar today…you won’t be disappointed!
Announcements…Tami and the Bachelor will be the live entertainment this weekend (February 18th & 19th). Also, for all of you that have the ability to come midweek don’t miss out on our great specials for February and March. We are offering a total of 15% off for midweek packages (lodging/fishing) and (lodging/fishing/meals)…these are applicable to reservations made after February 1. I have a few groups that are taking major advantage of this deal and they’re on the FISH with the WIGWAM! The Bikini Ice Fishing Team will be here on March 18, 19 & 20. If you’re looking for some great ice fishing deals, checkout the current February specials we are offering on our website http://www.wigwamresortlow.com/. We are running a February special that will give you a discount on packages purchased for February and March 2010. The specials will only last through the rest of February…you can’t beat them!

Daily Fishing Report: Today we will have abundant sunshine, high 26F with winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight will be partly cloudy, low -1F with winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow we will have partly cloudy skies, high 29F with winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow night should be partly cloudy, low -8F with winds light and variable. Thursday will be partly cloudy, highs in the mid 20s and lows 2 to -2F. Friday we will see more sun than clouds, highs in the mid 20s and lows in the low single digits. Saturday will be cloudy with flurries, highs in the mid 20s and lows in the upper single digits. Today’s fishing report will come from me and our guides. Pink and White are still the magic colors up here…my Pink Charmer Lure from Tom’s Tackle was the hot ticket for me and an Orange Jigging Shad Rap from Rapala has been the hot ticket for Tom. The pressure is currently up a tad bit higher than I’d like to see, but we’re still catching fish. We
haven’t been marking as many suspended fish as we did a week ago, but you still need to be fishing with a Vexilar to even see those fish. All the action is still taking place, west of Pine Island and north of Graceton/Zipple in 32 – 36 feet of water, and up on the Reefs in 23 – 30 feet. We have still been doing very well in our houses, which are only accessible by fishing with the Wigwam Resort (Trucks can’t drive to them)…they are located on west side of Pine Island straight out from Zipple and up off the Reefs (21 miles north). The lures showing the best success rates are the “Gold Disco Ball aka Strobe Jig by JB’s Tackle”, “Charmer Jig (Pink) by Tom’s Tackle), the Pink or White Florescent “Stop Sign”, “Macho Minnows” and “Chubby Darter/Rapala Rattling Jig” (all can be purchased at the Log Cabin Bait store approximately ¾ of a mile before the Wigwam on 172). Use anything that glows right now, whether it is pink or white. Also give the plain gold jigs/Disco aka “Strobe” balls a try. The ice thickness out there is currently 30-34 inches. Adrian’s road is open for business…trucks are going out everyday. But again, just a little reminder, if you want to fish by the Wigwam’s houses, you have to come with us. The only types of transportation that will get you out to our houses are track vehicles and snowmobiles…no trucks. We are currently fishing the “Reefs”, but there are limited spots available each day, so book your spot today. Don’t miss out on this great fishing that we’re having on Lake of the Woods, come visit us today at the Wigwam Resort on Lake of the Woods!Happy Fishing to all, and to all a good day!
