Where would you fish on 2/20-2/22

[The Big Gaffer]

At LOW (and where) or go to Upper Red. We are going somewhere, we just don't know where. Anybody have any good advice.

[PLfisherman]

I would go to rainy lake in late march depending on the weather. there is huge crappies there and also very good waslleye fishing.

[The Big Gaffer]

I am talking about next weekend. 2-20-22. Any advice?

[MG - Fishin']

Anytime I have a chance I would definitely go to LOTW. It's a long drive coming from the cities, so I usually like to make it a long weekend, but you can only take so many of them in a given winter. It's by far my favorite place to fish and the most successful even on the worst of days.

Why not do both? I make lots of trips up there where I try hit both spots. LOW until about 2:30 then a quick trup down to URL.<P>------------------<BR>Scoot<P>So I got dat goin’ for me… which is nice.

[The Big Gaffer]

Oh, we like to hit the sauce a bit. It isn't safe for me or anybody else who happens to be on the highway to be driving back and forth between LOW and URL. I like to stay right on the lake just because of that. Our sleeper house is at Pine Is. Fishing has sucked around Pine for us this time of year for 5 years. Thats why I am thinking of going to URL. We can't move our house too far. We can drag it around pine but thats about it. Has anybody caught anything around Pine lately or is it still dead?

Big Gaffer: How far past Pine are you set up in your Perm shack? Bill

[The Big Gaffer]

The bottom of our house is made to be pulled around so we pull it back to the island and leave it set there. Then when we get up there we just throw the rope over the hitch and drag it to wherever we think we will catch fish? I am thinking for next weekend we may pull our house into the shallows and fish them until 10-11 and then take the portables out to Knights and try to fish out there during the day and head back to the shallows for late afternoon/evening bite. It kind of sounds like a good plan but we seem to get lazy once we get settled in our perm. house.

I was just wondering how far over Pine you were set up. Sounds like a pretty good set up you have for mobility. I fish out of Riverbends houses when I come up. Headed back on 2/26. If they are still in the same area as Jan 19th, we should be out in 30-32'. Last year we were going to head out to Knight with Brian from Riverbend. But a presssure ridge popped up and being late in the year didn't have time to cut through the Ridge to get the bomber through. I've always wanted to head up that way. Maybe soon, Brian said fishing can really be good around the island. Bill

[The Big Gaffer]

I have always wanted to try it up there also. Just have never done it. The last time I was up (Jan 3-5) we fished in about 30-32 feet. WE didn't fair that well. Some friends did great right next to us.

[Milkdud]

Gaffer we are going to be up there that weekend too. I think we are going to fish the reefs so I might not run into you guys. Good luck and don't count on us to feed you guys again!<P>Milkdud!

[The Big Gaffer]

Huh, fishing the reefs huh. We may fish those to. It worked out well before. You catch and clean and we eat and drink. Tell me again exactly where you will be. JK Yeah I think we are going up to LOW just because we don't have a place to stay on URL. Are you fishing the reefs by Rocky Point?

[Milkdud]

Gaffer, I have a couple GPS spots that have been pretty good the last couple times I fished the reefs the end of February. It all depends on how far off the road we need to go to get to these spots. I will send you some spots tomorrow where we might be.

[The Big Gaffer]

That sounds good.
