Gosh it's been and age since last at the big LOW. Well Jan. 1 of this year. Leaving Friday night for Long Point. How's the bite. Any more of the HUUUUUGE perch being caught? I know, the age old question, What's the ice thickness. I'm bringing the extension with but would like to put it on in the garage here. Thanks in advance.<P>sledhead

Last weekend at long point was terrible for me, we were over by twin rock everybody was doing poor. Took home eight. Most of those were on a dead stick. I had heard the zipple was much better. I cant decide if it's zipple or red lake this weekend. Later boar

Just got back from a wonderful trip to the LOW. Fished out at Long point sat afternoon, sunday and monday. We only managed 2 keeper's on saturday. Sunday was really good with almost a 100 caught though alot small. Managed to get almost limited out between 4 of us. MMMMM did they taste good sunday night. Fished Monday with even better sucess and bigger fish. It got real hot the last 2 1/2 hours of the day. Almost as fast as you could put on a minnow. Live bait as well as frozen shiners worked well. Red hooks and gold jigs were hot on monday. Green also worked well. All in all a great trip to the LOW with a limit for all. Did not get any of the huge jumbo perch out there though.<P>Now the SLUSH is starting to get bad. DON'T dig out for your house. The snow is melting and there's getting to be a lot of standing water on the plowed roads. some spots had almost 12inches of water on the road. Jerked 2 guys out of the slush. bring you sleds, widetracks perfered. Have fun be safe.

How deep were you fishing? Were they on the bottom or suspended? Were you mobile or in a hard side? Also is there a bar that offers a good night life if the fish don't bite at night? Leaving Friday morning form St. Paul at 9 AM. Will try to hit Red on the way back if we limit out. Don't have to be back until Monday PM. We are pulling a 7X14 on retractable wheels. We plan to go out of Zipple. I called them and they are willing to plow a road out for us for a minimal fee. So we can get of the beaten path. Any info would be appreciated.<BR>Thanks in advance.<BR>TJB<P><BR>[This message has been edited by TJB (edited 03-03-2004).]<p>[This message has been edited by TJB (edited 03-03-2004).]
