Lund Boat Rental - Your Gateway to Great Fishing
Looking for a solid fishing boat that won't break the bank? This 16-foot Lund with a reliable 20hp Yamaha outboard is exactly what you need for a productive day chasing walleye and northern pike. At $154 per day, you're getting a proven fishing machine that's built to handle whatever the lake throws at you. Perfect for a duo of serious anglers who want to focus on fishing without worrying about boat troubles or crowded conditions.
What to Expect on the Water
This isn't some fancy bass boat with all the bells and whistles – it's a working angler's dream. The Lund's deep-V hull cuts through chop like butter and gives you the stability you need when you're fighting a good fish. That 20hp Yamaha will push you around the lake all day without burning through your gas money, and it's quiet enough that you won't spook fish in shallow bays. The boat handles two anglers comfortably with plenty of room for tackle boxes, coolers, and that net you'll need when the pike start hitting. You'll appreciate the wide beam when you're both working different sides of a weedline or when one of you hooks into something that wants to make a run for it. The layout keeps things simple – no complicated electronics or fancy seating that gets in your way when you need to move around the boat quickly.
Trolling Tips & Lake Strategy
With this setup, you've got options. The Yamaha's smooth idle makes it perfect for slow-trolling crankbaits along structure or pulling spinners through deeper water where the walleyes hang out. You can work the motor down to a crawl when you're presenting baits to finicky fish, or throttle up to cover water when you're searching for active schools. The boat's shallow draft lets you sneak into back bays and weedy areas where big pike like to ambush baitfish – just watch your prop in the really skinny stuff. Drift fishing works great too; the hull tracks straight in a crosswind, so you're not constantly fighting to stay on your line. Anchor up over a good walleye spot and you'll have a stable platform for jigging or rigging. The 16-foot length gives you enough room to spread out your rods without getting tangled up, whether you're casting or trolling multiple lines.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Walleye are the bread and butter fish here, and they're what most anglers come looking for. These golden beauties typically run 14 to 20 inches, with plenty of keeper-sized fish and the occasional wall-hanger pushing 25 inches or better. Peak walleye action happens during low-light periods – early morning, evening, and overcast days when they move up from deeper water to feed. They're structure-oriented fish, so you'll find them relating to drop-offs, rocky points, and weed edges. What makes walleye fishing so addictive is the way they bite – that subtle tick on your line that could be a fish or could be bottom, until suddenly your rod loads up and you're fighting a fish that knows how to use its head. They're also fantastic table fare, with firm white fillets that taste even better when you've worked for them.
Northern pike bring the excitement factor that keeps your heart rate up all day long. These toothy predators can show up anywhere from shallow weedy bays to deeper structure, and when they hit, they mean business. Pike in these waters commonly run 24 to 32 inches, with the potential for true giants over 40 inches that'll test your drag and your nerves. Spring and fall are prime time for big pike, but they're catchable year-round if you know where to look. What makes pike fishing so much fun is their aggressive nature – they'll crush a spinnerbait, slam a spoon, or engulf a sucker minnow with explosive strikes that'll wake you up fast. They fight dirty too, jumping, rolling, and making powerful runs that'll have you wondering if your tackle's up to the task. Even smaller pike put up a scrappy fight that's way more fun than their size suggests.
