What is the story with boats at IG? I have seen a map that shows a launch on the south end of the lake and another that doesn't... Are you allowed to launch here or do you have to pay the ridiculous rates to rent their boats outta here? Just curious... Thanks... - BPM

you have to rent their boats. its like $30 for two hours with a trolling motor. not sure how much it is if you bring your own motor.

$30??? Does that come with a skinny, female guide in a bikini that guarantees you catch nothing but lunkers all day? Yuck! 30 bucks??? Oh well... Thanks for the info... - BPM

no prob. i did it once last year one day after work. the trolling motor battery barely had any juice. i also decided to stay on the lake for more than my two hours and then their inflatable boat with the 10 hp chased me down and told me to go back in, LOL

i stick to shore fishing now there. don't have the bux to be spending 30 an outting! (especially for two hours)

IG is very expensive; especially if you don't have your own trolling motor.
I don't mind as much when I bring mine out. Then its $12 for 2 hours and $5 each additional. Still adds up when you have an addiction and can't leave!

Ig is a real ripoff. I tried going in friday and they wanted to charge me so I turned around and left (didnt have my bicycle that time) How would lake county residents like it if cook county charged them to use the lakefront?
And the boats suck, Ive never had a rental there that the battery didnt die in less than an hour. Ive been washed on shore, and been towed back. I dont think Ive ever motored back to the dock once.
