There is very good parking for tow vehicle and boat at the cabins. You can back the boat right in. There is power outside each cabin, about 50' from the boat - a 75' cord is more than plenty. Water there, too.
We could not find any walleye. My wife pulled a bottom bouncer and worm most of the time and got not a touch. We'd been told that they were in 15' of water and that's where I concentrated, but nothing on sonar and no bites anywhere. Smallies were stacked all around sunken rocks and have not yet spawned. They were suckers for Ned rigs retrieved very slowly. Cast to the rock, pull the Ned off the edge and whammo.
Cabin tips: there is only the dining table inside, besides the fridge and microwave. Bring a folding table for stuff. Also bring chairs for the patio. We took a small TV and antenna for news and weather, got 46 channels. Short walk to pit toilets, slightly longer walk to showers and flush toilets. They don't collect the $100 cleaning deposit any more, but bring a blank check just in case. The problem is finding staff to inspect and return your check at departure - there is almost no staff on duty. We simply cleaned the place well and left. The osprey nest near the cabins is active with chicks. Binos will be a treat.
Edit: the net. I don't remember where I got it, but I did replace the original netting with a rubber bag. The extending handle is great. Tip for nets - squirt a bit of expanding foam in the net rim and both ends of the handle to seal them. Your net will now float.
