Happy New Year Everyone,
I wanted to get some opinions for a summer trip. I'm going with my brother-in-law and he doesn't want to fly anywhere. We're going to tow our boats. He also wants to be able to carry a firearm and he tells me that he can legally carry in Minnesota. That sounds like a great musky destination to me, so I've been researching Leech Lake or Vermillion. Has anyone here been to either of these lakes? I'm looking for a good casting and remote destination. Any suggestions on a lodge or guide? Vermillion looks a little more interesting than Leech. Are we better off renting a boat for the week. The rates I've seen, for a decent boat, are around $1000 for the week. I don't think our increased gas consumption will surpass $1000? We'll be driving up regardless. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Jason
