I'm planning a trip this June to the boundary waters with a couple friends. I have always gone to Seagull lake, but the people I have been with have not been big on fishing and I felt like I had to sort of host their trip being that they were beginners, so i didn't do much fishing. This year, I am going with more experienced people and plan to do a ton of fishing and basically feed ourselves with shore lunch.

What are the best chances for us to catch walleyes on a regular basis and not have to portage as much - more of a base camp and day fish kind of trip. Plan was to enter on 54a then canoe to Alpine lake and fish/camp on Alpine, etc. My other idea was to enter on sawbill lake. I have never been to sawbill, so wondering if someone could also help me realize challenges/opportunities with Sawbill, such as how far can we travel by canoe, etc., without needing to portage.

Any other trip ideas would be helpful! Thank you!

Caught some decent walleyes on Alpine last June. No idea about Sawbill.

With your entry point, I've had good success on Red Rock, some limited success on Alpine, and did very well on Ogish.

I haven't been to the Knife or SAK, but I've checked our reports here, and I think that's our destination this year.

I've done well on Red Rock. Big Sag and Knife has been hit and miss. Lyonty did very well on Seagull.
