    fish recipes

    My wife does not like fish a whole lot. I have a lot of walleye, perch and blugill fillets in the freezer that i would love to find a recipe for that she would appreciate. She would take a bite of friday night fish fry (cod or haddock) when I order it at a restaurant, but she will not eat home...

    Hunting or Fish Camp Co-op rules

    I agree with everything said. As I look at it, its a small amount of money to have access to a cabin on a lake and a cheap vacation spot. The only way i'd feel like I was getting screwed is if I had to continually dump money into it and the others weren't holding up their share. I like the...

    Hunting or Fish Camp Co-op rules

    All great input and much appreciated. To add more info, the major shareholder is fronting about $20,000, and the secondaries about $3,000, so not a lot of money invested. also, its in a campground with an annual fee for utilities and external maintenance like yard and driveway, so I would...

    Hunting or Fish Camp Co-op rules

    I am creating a co-op of 6 guys to buy a cabin in a campground. there will be one "major share" owner. we are setting up rules for maintenance and use. some of the things we need to organize is how to schedule weeks of use, how to handle it if someone wants out (i.e. sell their share)...

    MN Northwest Angle pros and cons

    So we'd be in Angle Inlet, it looks like Jim's Corner is the spot to go through customs, like a check in point? Do you need to get out into the main lake for fishing? thinking about my boat and a need for a bigger one :)

    MN Northwest Angle pros and cons

    I have the option to buy into a cabin on Lake of the Woods, in the Angle. would be a long drive, but a cheap investment. I know the multiple boarder crossings can be an issue (think Covid) but fishing and hunting opportunities seem good. Anyone that has had hunting and fishing experience...

    Off grid cabin, anyone build one?

    Yes, technically off-grid, but on a black top rd :) I had to make a commitment to my wife that if I was going to spend her money on a cabin, it had to be NICE, nice enough for her to enjoy, no mice, nice flooring and furniture, etc.

    Off grid cabin, anyone build one?

    Poured footings last fall and worked on it all summer, was able to sleep in it in October. 6500W solar and a pellet stove for heat. That will be enough power to run a 1/2 hsp well pump some day if I go that route. still had to go through the WI inspection process, footings, construction...
