Appreciate the reply CrappieMagnet,
Will be fishing with some guys that fish tournaments at Rainy, and they have maps, so getting lost (hopefully) will not be an issue! Just wanted a native's opinion of what to bring along. They will be towing their boats along, so will have a lot of flexibility.
I am kind of going at the last minute so did not have time to plan a lot as far as going to BassPro to stock up. Just bringing the stuff I have. Did not know that Rainy was dark stained water. Is it similar to Basswood up by Ely? I have fished there a couple of times, great walleye fishing. Also have fished some of the other lakes up there by Ely and remember the walleye and black crappie are copper-colored. Will be bringing some topwater, spinner baits, long stickbaits and a lot of plastic.
Thanks again and hope to post pictures later!
