Break Out the Boat...It's Fishing Time!

It goes without saying that fishing is one of THE great Minnesota pastimes. In fact, the Minnesota DNR reports that, year over year, more people in our state buy fishing licenses than in any other. 

It makes sense; with well over 5,000 fishable lakes, teeming with prized species like walleye and northern pike, Minnesota’s anglers don’t really have to venture too far away from their backyards to catch the big one.  

With that being said, we here at the Pequot Lakes SpeedStop invite you to explore everything we have on hand to make fishing season a success. 

Located conveniently along State Highway 371, in and around a great many fishing destinations, SpeedStop Pequot Lakes is your one-stop shop for, well, everything:

THE ESSENTIALS

Naturally, we invite you to fill up your gas tank and load up on all the essential snacks and beverages, but don’t skip over the Oasis Liquor Shop. SpeedStop Pequot Lakes offers a full range of beers in our Beer Cave, along with an extensive selection of wine and spirits. Of course, we want to remind you to drink responsibly this weekend - and all year long. 

BAIT, TACKLE AND MORE

Maybe there’s something you forgot while packing up the car, or you realize you’d like to pick up a map to explore new waters? Not to worry. Our Pequot Lakes location boasts a fully-loaded Pro Shop, complete with a wide variety of bait and tackle, rods and reels, nets, and more. Don’t forget the most important accessory of opening weekend - your license. Pick one up here or at any nearby SpeedStop location! 

THE EXTRAS

The weather can change in a second here in Minnesota, so don’t forget to browse our full collection of high-quality sweatshirts, tees, sweatpants and hats, and have the layers you might seriously need on hand. Plus, with a collection of gifts, you can pick out a memento for friends and family, highlighting your time here in Lake Country!

That’s just a snapshot of what we’ve got here at SpeedStop Pequot Lakes; if you find yourself a little further south, you can drop into our St. Joseph location for the very same services.

Visit us en route to wherever your fishing adventures may take you, and let us help you get yourself prepped for a successful weekend on the water!
