| Hi! I have been a lurker for a while and now am planning my first muskie trip to MN. Looking for any advise for lodging/resorts. I'm planning to get Gregg Thomas as a guide for a couple of days and then fish the remaining time with my family. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Location: Downers Grove, IL | Red Door Resort is on the North Shore. Clean rooms, good launch. Not much for the kids, though. Not really a resort, I guess. But it is in the thick of some prime fishing water. Gregg fishes out of there a lot, too.
I've also stayed at Izaty's Resort on the south shore. That is more of a full service resort; nice golf course, boat/jet ski rentals, good restaurant and bar.
Hope this helps. |

| Yeap, Gregg fishes right out of the Red Door Motel, very nice place and reasonable. Small towns are a short drive away or head into Brainerd for big time excitement!

| If you plan on hiring Gregg for this coming summer you better contact him soon if you haven't. He is filling up really fast. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Gregg's cell phone to contact him here at the Extreme Expo is 606.776.6729. He's booking up fast, so I'd give him a call. |

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio | You are in for a great time. My partner and I have learned a ton from Gregg. Ask him to hook you up with an "AL 50" he will get a kick out of it. I caught the biggest fish ever in Gregg's boat this last year. It was a 54.25 incher and it was a beast. Never would have gone up north if it were not for Gregg. He is a fish catching SOB if I ever met one. |

| If you want to get on the water with Gregg, call now. I booked 7/11 today, and he only had about 10 other days available. I am looking forward to it.
