Lake St. Joseph opening

[stjoeguy]

A death in the family has forced our 6th man to drop out of our trip to Lake St. Joseph, Ontario, 6/22/13 to 6/29/13. This is a 27 mile boat-in trip to a modern, solar powered cabin with 7 days of solitude and great Walleye & Northern fishing. The cabin will hold up to 10, so we have plenty of room. A search on this site will show that Lake St. Joseph is on many people’s bucket list of lakes to fish. As you can tell by my user name, I really like this lake. Our group is from late 40’s to mid 60’s, from MN, IA & VA. One of the guys returning this year joined us last year via Walleye Central. The pictures below are from last year's trip. If you have any interest in joining us this June, send me a message and we can talk.

Is this Winoga's cabin?

[stjoeguy]

Yes, it's the Winoga Lodge outpost cabin.

Great fishing, great cabin, it is so far down the lake, it is as if we have the whole lake to ourselves.

Someone who put a downpayment for the trip DIED and they won't refund??? Eeek. That seems a little low/selfish even for a camp owner... I'd be looking elsewhere to stay.

I'm sorry to hear about the unfortunate circumstances. I would offer to join your group but I have a conflicting commitment at Carrol Lake during that time period. St. Joe sounds like a great place. Its a great opportuntiy for someone.

Munshaw,
There is no issue with a down payment refund. It's a great camp and the owners have always been very helpful. The owner doesn't even know about any of this (although, Troy follows this site and has probably seen it). I was just saying that a group member had to drop out and I was opening up the trip to anyone that would like to fish a great lake. I'm just trying to increase the size of our group. It's not a money issue.

cost?

[Hewhocookstomuch]

Cost, PM stjoeguy, he will break it down for you. I am figuring around $1500. Cabin, food, gas for boat and car. Road meals, licenses, bait and your own personal use items, you cover on your own. It is well worth the trip.

[stjoeguy]

I was going to say $1,400 - 1,500 each, but Hewhocookstomuch was quicker. The camp is 950 for 7 days. With tax some gas & misc. the camp total is usually about $1,100 each. Add another $300 or so for groceries and gas to and from Minneapolis. The biggest variables are gas prices and how many people are going in how many vehicles. What's the old TV add say - It's priceless.
