Bill: I am heading up to LOW on Friay and was wondering where the best area to start fishing would be? Probably will be heading out somewhere by Pine Island. Any info would be great.Thanks,Bob.

Treeclimber: I am not an expert on LOW even though I have fished it for the past 4 years. If I was headed up as you are I would access at Wheelers Point and follow Adrians resort road onto the lake. They have their rentals out there plus a lot of their clients who bring there own houses. I fish out of River bend houses when I'm there however they do not plow the roads. So if the snow is heavy driving could be a problem getting to there units. Adrians plows right to his units. That being said I would go out to the 28-32' depths and drill some holes. As you know from fishing Alex staying away from the crowds is a good idea. Checking some of the other posts on this forum from a great bunch of guys willing to share reports and tackle ideas will give you a lot of insight as well. Gold, white/pink, plain gold hooks are usually good starters. Pick up some shiners and fatheads as either one can be the difference on any given day. To get out to the depth of water indicated you will be somewhere in the vicinity of 6-7 miles past Pine Island. When I was there last Dec 28th driving due to snow conditions off the roads was not a problem at all. they have gotten some snow in the past week or so, therefore I can't give you a heads up on that. Hope this helps you out, maybe someone else will jump in here as well with other advice. I'm on the way back Monday for three days so I'll watch for your report this weekend and how you did. Enjoy the trip, hope you pound some fish. Bill

Boom: How deep we you guys fishing? Did you follow Adrian Road or go straight out from Pine toward the Riverbend houses? Thanks for the update. Bill

Treeclimber: Good luck to you on both lakes. I will look for your post Sunday night as I am out of here real early on Monday. Good luck, and hang on. Bill
