Take her to Eelpout Festival!   Always a lot of fun, other things to do, Walker is a great little town... Reed's and Xmas point for shopping...Jimmy's for breakfast or the Outdoorsman.  Might have a hard time renting a shack this late though...

I like Corny's idea. Also Upper Red Lake is tough to beat. Late in the season would be a good time. I was up there for St. Patricks Day one year and the bars were a lot of fun too - (might be too late to keep a walleye though).

My suggestion would be to give cookie a call and head to red.  Took the wife up there last year for Valentines and she had a blast.  We were with Boar and his wife and two other couples.

how is the bite on red typically mid February?  Really want to get the wife on some fish  :old fisherman: ... valentines weekend sounds like a good idea  :scratch: I hate valentines day.  Dont see why anyone wants flowers that just die in a couple days :puke:

I like Corny's idea. Just don't get caught staring at another woman flashing her knockers.
