What Others Are Saying

Chris,

The past three years, we were fishing and staying at a nearby resort to you. There is absolutely no comparison to Sportsman's Oak Island Lodge.

We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the fishing, accommodations and staff were even better. On Friday we caught more than 50 fish (missed an equal amount) including a 25plus inch walleye. On Saturday, we caught over 40 fish - including 3 slot walleyes. Needless to say, we ate our fill while there, and I was able to bring home plenty of walleye, sauger and perch. There are plenty of stories, but most are best kept close to the vest :-) We did loose two rod and real combos - they are resting quietly in 25 foot of water under the fish house. Upps!

I need to get up there during the softwater season. It was very picturesque, but I can only image the scenery from a boat.

Chi Chi, Ed (our "guide"), Joe (aka "chef"), and Carrie took good care of us...we will definitely be back!

We certainly appreciated your hospitality at the main lodge too. Thank you.

Please also share with the staff at Oak.

Chi Chi,

Had a fantastic time at Oak Island. Could not believe the business colleagues I bumped into on Saturday night. Will be speaking with Greg about some group(s) options (via our buses) with these clients for 2009/2010.

Also, (both Chi Chi and Greg), any good dates for March available? Trying to get my wife and another couple up there for the hard water fishing.

"Wak"and Eddie were the two best guides we could have asked for ! Wow ~ They were outstanding ! Cannot say enough kind things about them and the way they catered to us. That was the ultimate in customer service.

Greg hooked up with Flip, Phillippe by accident what a Hoot!

Thanks,

Dear Gregg & Staff

Just wanted to take a quick minute and write a quick note of thanks.  Your staff paid attention to every detail of our trip and made it a world class adventure.  From the start of the trip and the bus ride north, we were treated like celebrities.  The food was excellent and the bar staff put up with our not wanting to go to bed in the most professional manner.  The lodge made sure every request was taken care of with enthusiasm and they carried out each and every request.

To say the fishing was amazing is an understattement.  All three of our boats caught, photographed and released numerous trophy fish.  The shore lunch, oh my gosh, where do we begin, it was that awesome.  The guides went up and above the call of duty and took care of everything down to the last detail.  Plus, we were able to send everyone home with a ton of pictures, a lot of memories and a limit of fresh Walleye!!

Again, thanks for the great trip, the many memories and the friendships you helped us all develop.  We can't wait to do it all over agian.  Maybe next time we will have to come up ice fishing although with this group, that could be a little dangerous.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
 
Chris
 

Dear Gregg,


Well the 12th Annual Ride is now in the history books.. Many thanks for your expertise.  The ride using the orange stakes was a dream all the way beack to Falcon And West hawk Lakes traveling at 50 mph and no hiccups. 
 
I would like to give a special thanks to Eric, Kit and Dave for a great outing on Tuesday.  The food was once again excellent - a highlight for most of the guys!! 
 
Also "thanks" to Eric for showing us some new trails in the Baudette area and for his concern for the riders.
 
Just proves Gregg that you do not have to be there for things to run well!!!!!  Also "Thanks" to your great staff for the many courtesies shown to our group.  Shelly at the Front Desk, all the Bar & Restaurant staff for thier patience and great service and the cabin staff for making sure all was just great for our group.

Hello Gregg,

 
Yes, it was cold on Sunday Feb. 10th.  We just got our lines into the 30 feet of water and pulled in a small sauger.  Later we caught some nice walleye and a few more small ones.
 
We had a good guide, he stopped by to check on us.  The bombadier gave us quite a ride.
 
Sunday evening we had a hot water line frozen in our cabin.  We were promptly given a room in the motel.  Thank you.
 
The meals were excellent and eaach evening we had a very good waitress.  We got the red carpet treatment.  Thank you.
With this global warming, we should have better weather next year.
 
Sincerely, 
Arnold
