Any fishing reports lately?

[mr marbles]

Have'nt heard any reports lately whats up! Whats the ice conditions up over pine?

[northerndirt]

the road out from wigwam over pine is perfect,there was about 10" of good solid ice on tuesday and wednesday when we were up there, fishing was great to say the least, alot, I mean alot of 12 to 14" fish, our best fishing came in 18' to 24', gold, hot pink, or bright yellow or chartruse, all were fantastic, a little lull around noon but that works out perfect, time for lunch, by 1:15/1:30 it got crazy again till dark. good luck, and merry christmas to all

I'm headed to LOW for the first time, I've heard people talk about their favorite colors, gold, hot pink etc... are you guys using spoons, jigs, plain hooks? I don't have much in gold, I do have the other colors in jigs, do I need to buy spoons? As a first time up there I could sure use some help. Thanks.<P>P.S.<BR>Are you guys using very small lures? 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2?<P>Ole<p>[This message has been edited by Ole1855 (edited 12-12-2003).]

Hoda, <P>Sounds like the ice is good and now its time <BR>to sit back and enjoy! Look forward to seeing everyone up @ LOW from the 19th-23rd. <BR>Does anyone know how many Shacks are out 1/4 - 1/2 in front of Pine is.?? I must of seen about 150 shack last year in 20 plus feet of water.<P>Ole. Spoons work great! 3/8 or 1/2. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! <P>Wish everyone a great fishing trip over the Christmas season. God bless everyone a safe trip and many fishing stories to tell !!!!!!!!!! <P>Later,<BR>Ice Toad<P>

Are they driving trucks out from wig wam yet? Also are you guys catching any perch with the walleyes?

[SuddenlySummer]

I did well with a 1/4 oz Northland BuckShot Rattle Spoon with just the head of a fathead.<BR>Perch color with gold back.

I second the question about the ice conditions around pine island. I am planing on coming up to LOW for the fist time on DEC 19th. Wondering if the ice is going to be thick enough for a truck and 14' house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[woodman]

I just got off the phone with Morris Point Resort and they are reporting 10-12 inches of ice. No Trucks are allowed yet!!! They are using jeeps, and 4-wheelers to transport people.<P>Can't wait to hit the big lake.<P>Woodman

[mr marbles]

thanks for the reports ,but lets keep them coming, can't wait much longer!

[Old Guide]

Mr Marbles, just got back from LOW, fished north of pine 27 ft. of water. (Checked the depth after we got set up, started catching fish so we didn't go shallower!) The ice was 10 or 11 inches. Lots of sleds and wheelers being used to get to the fishing areas. NO BIG TRUCKS OUT THERE YET!! <P>------------------<BR><B>Old Guide Charters</B><BR>Lake of the Woods<BR><A HREF="http://fishingmn.com/oldguidecharters/" TARGET=_blank>http://fishingminnesota.com/oldguidecharters/</A><BR>Call Toll Free:1-800-952-(9484)

Old guide were you the farthest out not many report coming from 27 ft. I thought they were all in shallow like 18ft-22ft? Were there bigger fish out deeper or about the same size? I trying to get and idea of where a good set up depth would be. Please post your thoughts. THANKS TWEE

[Hammer-Smites]

I saw a few full size trucks out on the ice on Saturday. One was as deep as 27 feet. <BR>Fished mid-day in 28' myself and there was a good 10"-11" of ice.

[Old Guide]

twee, we weren't the farthest house to the north but close. we were told that the fish were being caught in 20-23 ft. We got a little too deep but caught some saugers a big bot. and a nice walleye (caught more walleyes but they were too small to keep). We fished with Dr. Curt (the hook doctor)had a nice chat with Kaz (thanks for the info Kaz see you next time up!) I had a nice chat with Darline Ney as we cleaned our catch. What a nice lady! I can see why people keep coming back to thier resort! Twee let me know when your coming up, I'll give you any info I've got available. Pat

Thanks again for the info and have a reat week. we'll be at Riverbend on Friday night for beverages and food. <P><BR>Pine island of bust!!

Any FM'ers going to be up there on Wednesday? If so, would you be willing to possibly hook up with a couple of FMer's from Duluth?? We plan on leaving Duluth around 5:00-5:30am and coming up for the day. <P>What was the radio frequency to use for <BR>FMer's? Was it 7/11??<BR>
