LOW Report from Jan. 4th and 5th

[LetThemGo]

Got back late last night from a trip to LOW. We fished out of Adrians over Pine Island. On Wednesday (4th) we were out from noon to dark and only came up with three 12" walleyes. We moved around a great deal, trying depths from 28' to 8'. Caught two fish in the shallow water and one deep. Graphed about a dozen fish total, but they were really skittish and would not bite.

Thursday morning (5th) resulted in a blank. We drove up to Long Pt. because a person there had said some clients were having success there the day before, but when we got up there at 7 am there was noone going out. Only one pickup out fishing that we could see. It looked like there was little to no activity at Long Point, so we drove east and tried out of Morris Pt., again fishing shallow and deep (10-30 ft.). Didn't even graph much Thursday morning. Also tried the gap on west side of Pine Island with no luck. By 12 pm we decided to bail and headed to Red Lake. Our luck did not improve there.

Talked to a few groups of people and several of the resorts on LOW and Red and all said fishing was very, very slow. However, as usual, a one or two groups got on a school and were able to catch a few fish.

Sorry is this report is kind of a downer, but I thought I should at least post since I read other reports on this site prior to my trip. Thanks to all who are willing to contribute a report!

Me and a buddy are taking his permanent out of Morris Point tomorrow afternoon. I see fishing hasn't changed much since last weekend. Oh well, it's either that or stay home and do "honey-do's" all day. I'll post when we get back on Sunday.

Northlander, I'll give Curt a call in the early AM and have him call you on 7/11. The guy that told me about winni had already made plans to go to low this weekend or he would have headed over there. If I can get a hold of him I'll try and get the info on winni. and pass it on to Curt tomorrow.
