“Pokegama has diverse structure and a lot of productive water,” he says. “It’s got long narrow bays, wide sprawling bays, lots of humps and offshore structure, and the real beauty of this lake is that when the wind blows hard, you can almost always find a place where you can tuck in and fish.” -Brian “Bro” Brosdahl (Northland Fishing Tackle).

“We sold our boat last spring and joined the boat club, best decision ever! Zero time spent last summer cleaning and doing maintenance. It's so nice to just hop on a boat, enjoy and then hop off!The staff is always helpful and accommodating. Boats are always clean and gassed up.”
