Brace yourself for a one-of-a-kind winter getaway with Battle Fish Charters' Ice B&B experience in Saranac. This ain't your average camping trip - we're talking top-notch ice fishing shelters, cozy heaters, and a chance to sleep right on the frozen lake. Whether you're an ice fishing pro or just looking for a cool winter escape, our Ice Village is the perfect spot to make some unforgettable memories.
Picture this: You roll up to our Ice Village at 11 AM, ready for a 22-hour adventure on the ice. We'll hook you up with a warm, insulated shelter that's big enough for your whole crew - whether that's just you and a buddy in our 2-person hut or a group of four in our larger setup. Inside, you'll find everything you need: comfortable beds, a trusty heater to keep you toasty, and all the ice fishing gear you could want. And don't worry about breakfast - we've got something warm waiting for you in the morning. It's like glamping, but on ice!
Now, this isn't a fully guided trip, but we're not gonna leave you high and dry (or should I say cold and wet?). When you first arrive, we'll give you the rundown on safety and show you the ropes of ice fishing. After that, you're free to explore, fish, or just chill in your hut. But don't worry - we've always got someone on standby if you need a hand or have questions. You can fish all night if you want, or cozy up in your shelter and enjoy the peace and quiet of a winter night on the lake. In the morning, pack up and head out by 9 AM, with some awesome stories to tell.
Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the Ice B&B experience. It's not just about the fishing - it's about the whole package. You're out there on the ice, surrounded by the beauty of Saranac in winter. The sound of your line dropping through the hole, the crackle of the heater in your shelter, maybe even the howl of a distant coyote - it's all part of the magic. And let's not forget the camaraderie. Whether you're with family, friends, or making new buddies in the Ice Village, there's something special about sharing stories and laughs in your cozy ice hut.
If you're new to ice fishing, don't sweat it. We provide all the gear you need, from ice augers to rods and tackle. We'll show you how to drill your holes (safely, of course), set up your lines, and use tip-ups to catch fish even when you're warming up in the shelter. For the more experienced anglers, feel free to bring your own favorite lures or gear. The key to success is patience and knowing where to drill. We'll point you towards the hot spots, but half the fun is exploring the lake and finding your own lucky hole.
Saranac Lake is home to a variety of fish that'll keep your rod bending all day (and night). Northern Pike are the big draw - these toothy predators can grow over 40 inches long and put up one heck of a fight. They love hanging out near weed beds and drop-offs, so we'll make sure you know where to look. Lake Trout are another popular target, especially for those who like to jig. These deep-water dwellers are a blast to catch and taste great if you're planning a fish fry. And let's not forget about the Yellow Perch - smaller, but they school up in the winter, meaning you can catch a bunch in no time. Perfect for a quick, tasty shore lunch!
Alright, folks, here's the deal - our Ice B&B experience is unlike anything else you'll find in Saranac. It's not just a fishing trip; it's a full-on winter adventure. Whether you're looking to reel in some monster pike, enjoy a peaceful night on the ice, or just try something totally different, we've got you covered. And remember, we've got options for couples, families, or even big groups if you want to rent multiple huts. So don't let winter pass you by - grab your warmest socks, your sense of adventure, and book your spot in our Ice Village. Trust me, you'll be telling stories about this trip for years to come!
