January 2017 News

Posted March 21, 2017

It is January 1st and we hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. We were home for all of December and as of late have been able to enjoy some time in the shack fishing. The kids have been having a good time getting out on the lake and taking the sleds out for a ride.
Our sport show season begins this month starting with Schaumburg Illinois. Only doing the 4 shows is not real taxing and actually enjoyable versus the 12 or more shows we did each season many years ago. Please plan to attend one and stop by for a visit. It is always great to see some familiar faces!

This coming season of 2017 will be White Iron Beach Resort’s 100th year of continuous operation. Hope you will be a part of our celebration throughout the 2017 season. We wish everyone a wonderful New Year!

Take care,

Kerry and Sandy

Fishing Reports

We finally have ice thick enough to fish safely on most area lakes. We are seeing ice shacks and trucks out on Shagawa but always important to check ice thickness before you venture out.  The MN DNR page is always a great resource when it comes to safety and ice condition reports. Click here for more info. 
John was out on the 31st and fished crappies. It was a slow go at first but they moved with about 1.5 hours of fishing left and caught the majority of the 15 fish they caught in that spot. The biggest of the bunch, a 15″ slab, was landed but when laid on the ice it to a couple of flops and slid right back down the hole. At least that’s their story anyways!) We are also hearing some good reports of some nice fish being caught on White Iron and Farm Lake.
