HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 What time of the year do you guys head up north?Nice pics. We've been going the 1st or 2nd week of June for the last few years. This year we'll be there from 6-4 to 6-8 Wednesday thru Saturday. Staying mid-week avoids the weekend rush and water traffic. Quote
mackkie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 My brother and I are planning a trip in early June to here...We have heard great things about that lake. Â I think we found our spot at the Yukon Cottages! Â Its $125 per night waterfront?? Â Do most of these cottages come with docks?? Quote

I think we found our spot at the Yukon Cottages! Its $125 per night waterfront?? Do most of these cottages come with docks?? I emailed them for more indepth info and If I remember correctly Waterfront houses $125 w/docks in addition to the main dock that must hold 10 boats. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Looks like we are going to try and put a grup together and give it a shot. I'll keep y'all posted. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 WOW!  Great pictures, thanks for sharing Bassectomy  ;D I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm definitely gonna try to make a trip up there this summer.  It looks absolutely gorgeous, with great fishing, wildlife, and prices. Quote
TopDog Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Booked My trip for the First weekend in May! Â Woo hoo! Â Cant wait. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 I shot karen @ Yukon an e-mail last night just to varify I had remembered everything correctly and this is what was waiting for me when I returned from work. Hi Paul, How could I forget you!! Lol! The rates for the larger cottages are $125 per night and the smaller cottages are $110 per night. Remember we provide pillows and blankets, however you must bring linens and towels. Upon request we will provide linens for an additional charge. Also, remember these prices are for May, June, September and October only! July and August we rent by the week only unless, there's a cancellation. I just received an email from a Matt Gorman, he mentioned that someone was spreading the word about us. Thank you! I cannot post info about our place, due to the agreement upon registering. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. You can give our email out. info@yukoncottages.com. Let's hope the ice thaws before June, lol. Â We have 3 feet of snow right now. My winter rental said, we are a hot spot for ice fishing, he fishes every weekend. Talk to you soon. Any more questions just ask. Regards, Karen R_ Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 When is the spawn up there? Every year we've been the 1st or 2nd week of June and they were still on the beds There are a group of about five or so from our bass club that goes around the 15th of May and say they're also plucking-em off the beds Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Concentrate on all the islands large and small, Horseshoe being one of my favorites! Don't over look the mid lake humps that come up to 8' to 12' surrounded by 25 feet of water or so The Southern end offers shallow grass and veggies and a few inlets along the way may also produce. Did I mention the Islands? ;D Quote

Stop in at the Martinique if your there anytime from 6-4 to 6-8 and intoduce yourselves Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 I figured I get a few of the same Pm questions regarding Yukon so here's a more detailed discrption to the bestof my ablity that I copied from my last reply and hope it helps. I sent her an email for the first weekend in May. Lets see if anything is available. Which is your favorite cottaqe on the water. I like the boat at the rear deck. Hey ___, to be honest I like the one that's 100 years old and booked years in advance w/the fireplace ;D but stylin and luxury is not a necessity, we're there to fish and fish only. Well the morjority of time that is : I really think the martinique is the best bang for your buck! The Martinique is a nice rustic type cottage and w/a decore set in the 70's I would say. On the 1st floor is a livingroom w/a killer wood stove TV couch three or four cushiuned chairs a fully applianced kitchen, pantry masterbedroom w/a queen or king sized bed a bathroom and an awesome screened porch with a rustic table and surrounding L-shaped bench w/the side door that leads you to your dock. The porch is also an outstanding spot for morning coffee amongst the loons in addition to being a great place for an evening game of Poker. The 2nd floor has two bedrooms that I believe has 3 or 4 twin beds in each. Again I think the Martinique sleeps 6 to 8 adults so there's plenty of room in our case and with 5 guys splitting $125, it's a no brainer! All the waterfront houses have their own docks. You do have to run extention cords from the house to the boat for recharging but it's no big deal at all. Your other options are to moor up to the main dock system that has outlets at each slip and is 4 about houses away from the Martinique or trailer your boat every night and plug in at the house, not something I want to do when on vaccation ;)The Martininque is also the farthest waterfront property away from the main office. 8-) It also has a nice side yard w/a charcoal gril but you may also take your gas grill as we do. Also don't forget that Maine gas does not contain Ethanol, so come up full to the rim or empty and fill up there you don't want to mix these different type of gasses in your outboard Quote

nboucher Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Russ, how about a Yankee BR trip for those of us too broke to get to fly to Alabama? Target: smallies. . . Quote

Bassectomy, We already booked our trip to umbagog also! This is too funny! Are you staying at paradise point? What dates? We will be there september 4 thru 7. That is funny  ;D but no dates set yet. I have to wait until I get my clubs tourny dates this coming Monday night. Though your dates sound about right. Ussually rent an isalnd and have the party barge drop us with the canoe's and gear then return 3 days later to bring us back. This year I think I'll rent a cabin and take the Tracker as well as the hounds. I'll let you know as soon as I get my schedule next Monday. Frigginplace is awesome and I never want to leave :'( Quote
Cory20 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Those are some beautiful pictures dude! Â They really make me miss the wilderness of the north. Quote
michbass Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Great looking pics, love the Eagle. Always an amazing bird to see in person. Gives me butterflies on the rare chance I do see them in person. Quote
Cobbosseecontee85 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 awesome shots...where on the lake are you located? I'm on the litchfield side down in the cove with the rope swing. Not sure if you are familiar with it. Can't wait to get up to our house and open it up for the summer  Quote

Not sure if you are familiar with it. Can't wait to get up to our house and open it up for the summer Yukon is about 1/4 of a mile away from the public launch at the north end on the west side diagonally across from Big sister's island. I here ya, can't wait to get there myself! It must be awesome to have your own house on the lake. Quote
