Lakefront MN Family Vacations

Take a look at the success that the Siwek family had during there stay here at Hungry Jack Lodge. The Siwek family has been staying here at Hungry Jack Lodge for many years and have experienced all kinds of fishing success. This year however they had extremely great luck at a lake and they would not disclose the name of for some great pan fish and Walleyes.

Congratulations on all of the nice fish that you caught. We look forward to seeing your family again next year.

The Sanborn family of Chaska, MN had a great evening of fishing as you can see in the photos. All of these fish were caught with a slip bobber and a leech. The walleye that Gene caught was in about 25ft of water and it measured 28" weighing just under 8 lbs. Tracy's bass was 18" and Tim's bass was about 17".

The Sanborn family are long time returning customers here at Hungry Jack Lodge. The fishing has been very steady with lots of success from several different parties.

HUNGRY JACK LODGE BENEFIT
WAS A HUGE SUCCESS

The “Pigina-polka” cook-out benefit held at Hungry Jack Lodge on Sunday, August 17, 2008 was a huge success. Forrest Parson and Ericka would like to thank everyone that attended and contributed to the event. Proceeds from the event will be of great help in reconstructing a new main lodge to replace the lodge that had been totally destroyed by fire in March of 2008.

The people that attended came from near and far. There were of course many people in attendance that have homes and cabins on Hungry Jack Lake. Business owners and people residing along the Gunflint Trail also were in great numbers as were people from Grand Marais, Lutsen and other towns along the Northshore. There were also people from Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and other midwestern states at the benefit cook-out.

Most of the people who attended came by car, however a few of the Hungry Jack Lake residents came by canoe and kayak. Overall attendance was greater that expected and exceeded the anticipation of the staff of Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground.

The BBQ baby back ribs and chicken were excellent. Baked beans, coleslaw (with crab meat added) topped off the menu. There were of course plenty of ice cold beverages available to quench the thirst.

In addition to the excellent food there were other activities. Horseshoes, bean bag toss were popular with those who attended. Smaller kids enjoyed swimming at the sand beach on the rather warm and sunny day. Free pontoon boat rides to the base of Honeymoon Bluff, at the east end of Hungry Jack Lake, were an especially great hit with those in attendance.

Again, we at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground would like to thank all that attended. Your participation and contributions are greatly appreciated.

As construction of our new lodge proceeds will attempt to keep everyone up-to-date on this blog and on the Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground website at www.hungryjacklodge.com.

If you cannot attend and would like to contribute to the Forrest Parson Fire Relief Fund please contact the Grand Marais State Bank at 218-387-2441 or by mail P.O. Box 100 Grand Marais MN, 55604. You can make donations by phone or mail. Donations are payable to the Forrest Parson Fire Relief Fund

Thank you in advance for all of your support, it is greatly appreciated.

As you can see in the picture Bruce & Sue Nilsen(Sue not Pictured) had a great morning fishing here on Hungry Jack Lake. They ended up with 7 nice Walleyes to conclude there vacation here at Hungry Jack Lodge.

Bruce and his family are long time customers of Hungry Jack Lodge and have fished Hungry Jack Lake for many years. Bruce was trolling with a spinning rig tipped with a night crawler.

Congratulations Bruce on a nice catch of Walleyes. For more information on Hungry Jack Lodge remember www.hungryjacklodge.com

Good Morning All,

As you can see the final demo is complete and we are getting ready to start construction. I have been approved by the US Forest Service and Cook County. The last step is to get approval from the MN Dept of Health for the kitchen and bar areas. I am anticipating to start construction no later than the first part of Sept. if all goes well.

On another note the fish have been biting steady. I have had some fisherman who were catching some nice walleyes and bass this week. The weather has been nice lately but rather windy. We did recieve a pretty steady rain last night.

Please keep us in mind for MN Fishing resorts and check out our website at www.hungryjacklodge.com
