    Default Rend lake 1st time


    We are going to Rend lake for the first time in late march where is a good place to stay for six guys with three boats and any tips on where to start fishing bought a hot spots lake map so we can figure out where we are. Looks like a lot of areas are trolling motor only due to hazards are boat lanes marked any tips helpful.

    I only been there once. I can tell you the resort is pricey and not set up for boats, I didn't like it at all. The Gun Creek area is a good place to start. Mean Green will help you more, he fishes it almost everyday

    Where ever you stay make sure there is a fish cleaning area because there isn't any provided by the state around the lake.

    There is a new motel called Lake cove resort. It has fenced in boat parking and charging stations. I have never stayed there but it seemed pretty nice. When i talked to the owner last fall he said he was planning on adding a fish cleaning station soon.

    Boat lanes are not marked, you do not need to be in the stumps anyway. There are no fish cleaning stations on the lake, bring a piece of plywood

    Out of all the places I stayed at on rend I prefer the cabin in the woods full kitchens grills and theres even a spot to clean fish on like the resort I had to clean a 2 person limit in the room
    Fishing's not about luck it how you wiggle your worm

    Rend lake cabin in the woods is a good choice if you're looking to stay together. Seasons is also a good choice but you won't be able to stay in the same room. I don't know anything about Lake Cove Resort I haven't been in there yet but it does look to be a nice place. As some others have said you don't need to go into the stuff to catch fish there's plenty of fish to be caught in the open areas at the lake. Have any questions feel free to give me a call or shoot me a private message on here
