Cragun's has it all for great fishing
Cragun's has it all for great fishingCragun's Resort on beautiful Gull Lake is set up to be an all-inclusive resort for fishing. We can completely outfit your fishing party, whether large or small. You or your group will be equipped for unforgettable fishing adventures on the incomparable Gull Lake Chain or surrounding area lakes, which boast some of Minnesota's most famous fishing spots.

Cragun's is located on the southern shore of Gull Lake, one of the favorite fishing lakes of such greats as Al Lindner of "In Fisherman" fame and Babe Winkelman from the popular syndicated TV show, "Good Fishin'." Cragun's Resort has been the site of some of fishing's biggest contests. The MN Pro-AM Bass Tour Tournament of Champions, the MN Wild's 10,000 Rinks Foundation Fishing Tournament and the annual Camp Confidence Fishing Classic have all picked Cragun's as their site of choice.

Our fishing guests say they love the experience they had on their fishing package at Cragun's. It's because we take fishing seriously enough to make it fun.

The Fish
Within the 8 lakes of the Gull Lake Chain, the waters are home to an abundant variety of the Midwest's favorite species. The Gull Chain has a healthy population of the scrappy largemouth bass, and bass fishing is one of the most entertaining ways to catch fish. The ever-popular and prized walleye makes delicious eating and is enjoying a rapid rate of growth in Gull, projected to continue well into the future. Fishing is also good for northern pike, an aggressive game fish that may be one of the easiest to catch. Gull also offers great pan fishing and is an excellent spot for black crappie, especially in the cooler months of spring. Fish you'll catch at Cragun's.
