Basically it means there will be nothing on the other location for stretches of 7 months or more. But at least we can keep in touch here.
Now how do we get that word out? I'll try posting it at the other site and hope it doesn't get dusted.

Hi All
Kids an I went there in 18. I was VERY DISSAPOINTED !!!!! Stayed at Thunderbird WHAT A CRAP HOLE!!!! Had to travel over 30 mins to get where the fish were, Went to shower first night there I can pee harder then the water pressure.... Yes we caught fish for our dinners an a shore lunch, but that was tough going.
I have to say it put a bad taste in going to Canada again Ill try Minn before there
Thanks for the update, yes Thunderbird is a mess, only a couple docks in, no bait, cabin was dirty, we had to put in the boat we rented, then had to take it out. Owners no help with anything. Very disappointed. Glad you had a great experience. I will have to check new places out. Yes mosquitoes were terrible. But the trip was still good, went with one boy, dad, and a couple of Uncles. Never a dull moment, my son in the picture.
We used to stay at Thunderbird for years but with new owners we decided to try somewhere new. That place needs a makeover. We went around for a day (back in 2019) and stopped in about 5 different places to get a feel for them. If we wanted to fish some of our old spots and it was just the guys going, we thought we’d do Pine Point. We made the long trek to Lac Des Mille Lodge and we just got back from a trip there. The road in is tough for a minivan but just need to take it slow. New part of the lake was not a problem. We did really well fishing despite never fishing that part of the lake. Took 6 kids under 12 years old and they all caught multiple walleyes. The kids had a place to swim, basketball court to play on, and owners are great. I’m not sure we will ever go back to the old grounds anymore. All the fish we caught were closer to the Lodge than any of our spots we fished from Thunderbird. We had no complaints about the resort. The mosquitoes were ravenous though.
Had a great time fishing @ Lac Des Mille Lacs. It was very productive. Fished a fair amount in Cushing lake got some nice walleye's 16"-20". Stayed at Thunderbird Resort, will not stay there again. I have been there since I was 7 years old, but never again with the new owners. Looking for a place in September any suggestions?
Thanks,
TRCHawkeyes......Just noticed you are staying at Thunderbird Lodge not Pine Point. Sorry, but I can't help you with that area as I have been at Pine Point for 38 years. Boot and Baril have been stomping grounds in the past, but with this year's Biden fuel prices, I won't be making those runs unless I hit the lottery as a round trip is close to $100. Thank goodness for the areas close to Pine Point that consistently hold good fish.
Planocat,
Will definately look you up, I have been coming to Thunderbird since I was 7 (now 54) would love to meet you. I have been watching your posts for years. Appreciate all of the feed back and information you provide. It has been 4 years since we have been up there, so can't wait to get the lines wet.
Thanks,
Todd
TRCHawkeyes......Stop by (site 2) with your map when you here and I'll share some spots with you depending on whether you are targeting walleyes or smallies. Last trip out my bride limited on walleye and I caught a 26" kicker fish along with quite a few other fish.
Also, as always, Carlo is very generous with his suggestions and couldn't be a better host. And he's one heck of a fisherman willing to share his knowledge.
Travel safe, and have a great stay at our little piece of paradise. Bring plenty of mosquito spray......they too have discovered LDML and invited all of their friends!
