I ran across a website for a fishing lodge in Manitoba. They are giving away a free 5 day fishing trip every day for 100 days. These include everything except license and taxes. Includes boat, meals, cabin, unlimited gas, flyouts, etc.
The trips are for 1 but since you can enter every day there may be a good chance for a group of buddies to win more than one trip. Might be worth a shot, thats alot of trips.
I don’t know about posting links but it is a lodge at Bakers Narrows.
I get mailings that offer similar “deals.” The fine print reads that the stay is subject to a minimum occupancy clause. So you get one free stay but you need to bring 2-4 buddies to qualify. Not sure if this is a similar type of deal or not.
Go ahead and post the link if you like.
I get that flyer evey year. Last year my buddie called convinced that he had just one a free trip, he DIDN’T. Make sure to always read the fine print. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. 
Actually that was my first thought as well, being the skeptic I am. I checked it out and if you win you do not need to bring anyone else with you. I would bet that they are counting on people coming with others, but it is not necessary. You are welcome to drive up all by your lonesome. However with being able to enter every day and a trip given away every day it may be a good chance to win multiple trips among a group of buddies.
I took up one of these free trips. It was Naughty Pines Fish Camp.
Yep, I got a free trip. The only condition was that I had to bring atleast one other paying guest.
So, I gave the free trip to my dad, and I paid my way.
It was worth the money.
We arrived on Saturday, left on Friday.
We had a 16 foot Lund with a 20hp.
Unlimited gas and minnows.
Great cabin, just the right size.
Wonderful hospitality (plus one of the dock boys went to college with my neighbor’s son, so he gave me all the hotspots)
We brought our own food (could of had prepared meals for an additional $200 each)
It was the best fishing trip I have ever been on. Mostly because it was just me and my dad (of 77years at that time). We averaged 60 walleyes a day, plus about 30 bonus pike. Dad could only walleye fish, (too old and really not that interested in casting all day). So we pulled spinner rigs that whole trip, with a little jigging here and there. Dad caught an 8lb walleye, two pike that were pushing close to 20 pounds, and we had a lot of good memories.
Yes, it is advertising to get people there. I liked the place and will go back again some day.
So, in a nutshell, they aren’t all that bad!
