Well, what do you think?  Do you like the new look of the Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground News/Blog?  We hope that you like it.

The layout and look of our blog previously used one of the plain looking generic templates that was available from Blogger.  The new blog template uses a newer graphic logo in the Header of the blog that emulates the new main lodge building at our northern Minnesota lakefront family resort.  The new logo was created by graphic artist Cathi Erickson.  This new logo will be used by Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground on all of the new printings of our brochures and other printed matter.

The custom designed Blogger template was designed by Tom Rumish Website Development.  Tom Rumish is also the webmaster for the Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground website. The new template header uses a wood tone background similar to that of the Hungry Jack Lodge website.  The seamless page background of logs was designed by Tom Rumish in an attempt to duplicate the log walls of our recently completed main lodge at our Gunflint Trail resort.

WALLEYE SEASON OPEN NOW
BASS SEASON OPENS ON THE 29th
Fishing has been great so far this year, with almost all our Gunflint Trail fishing resort guests catching nice sized walleye. There have also been few nice trophy sized walleye's that have been caught in the past week.   Unlike the first few weeks of the fishing season at our northern MN fishing resort last year, we have been warmer than normal making it enjoyable to be out fishing.

The picture on the left is of 3 of our guests was taken opening weekend Saturday night. They had a successful evening of fishing out on Hungry Jack Lake. Mickey Brazell, Bobby Don, Brazell and Dean. They were fishing in the evening from about 7:30 till about 10pm using leeches and minnows fishing off the bottom.


The Minnesota Bass Season opens next weekend on the 29th (Memorial Day weekend).

The MN walleye and northern pike fishing seasons open on May 15th In 2009 the ice was not totally out of most Gunflint Trail lakes until just a few days before the MN walleye opener but this year Hungry Jack Lake and most other lakes in northern Minnesota were ice free a few weeks ago. Only time will tell as to whether the walleye fishing will be as good during the first few weeks of the season this year as it was in 2009.

Clean out your tackle box and get your lakefront fishing cabin booked at Hungry Jack Lodge on the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota as soon as possible. We already have a number of reservations for the Walleye Opener and expect to fill up lakefront rental cabins quickly.


MN LAKEFRONT RESORT ONLINE RESERVATIONS AVAILABLE

Unfortunately our online reservation system for cabin rental was down for a few weeks in April.


But, during this past week we have switched our lakeside cottage and log cabin Online Reservations to a new system. The new reservation system for our lakefront rental cabins now offers more photos of our cabins and cottages along with better descriptions. Just as in the past, you can be assured that any cabin or log cabin reservations that you make at our lakeside Gunflint Trail, Grand Marais, MN resort using our online reservations is totally secure.


VIRTUAL TOUR OF OUR MN FAMILY RESORT
The Virtual Tour of our Gunflint Trail resort has over the past couple of year become outdated, but we are in the process of being brought up to date.

During the winter 10 new “scenes” were shot at two different locations for our northern Minnesota resort Virtual Tour. There are now scenes of our newly constructed log lodge, including the main level with dining & sitting areas and gift shop, “loggers lounge” bar level and a number of exterior scenes.

Our old family lakefront resort Virtual Tour had been lacking tour “scenes” of our premium Elk log cabin. There are now 3 different Elk Cabin virtual tour scenes available for you to view.

The new virtual tour scenes of our MN lakeside resort are available for your viewing on the Virtual Tour page of our website and can be accessed by clicking on the text link for the scenes. We plan on shooting additional scenes for the virtual tour of our MN family and fishing resort during this coming summer. Once all of the new scenes are shot, our virtual tour will be totally re-created to include all of the new virtual tour scenes at our.
