Where to go???

[mlvaj]

Thinking of going to LOW the week of Dec 28 thru Jan 1. We are debating if we should go out of Adrian's or Zippel that week. What are your thoughts on which resort to head out of. We went to both last year, but not until mid Jan or Feb. It will be earlier this year and we don't know if we should fish the rocks at Zippel or the mud at Adrian's. Any inputs will be appreciated.

I did Zippel Bay Resort 2 years ago and then hit Arnesens last year which is near this area you are looking at.

Zippel is nice.. Nice units to stay in... You can drive yourself out to the shack as they plow ice roads... I didn't do too well but we went late Jan.

Arnesens also has nice units... The resort drives you out in Bombadeers. We did better fishing here as they got us on a lot of nice structure.

I don't know much about Adrian's. If you go to this place let me/us know how it goes.

I have stayed at Adrians, they are great people, and will go out of their way to help you get on fish. They have a nice little bar and restaurant to hang out at before and after fishing.

Arnesens is top notch. I stayed there about 6 years ago and we had a great time. The fishing was great and so were the accomodations. We caught some huge perch and some nice eyes. I have also stayed in a sleeper at Zipple bay. The fishing was ok and the people were nice.

early part of the year i would think about zipple but the past few years the middle or later part of the year, i hear and have expirenced that zipple really shuts down. but i have been to both, didnt go out of zipple outpost (stayed in a sleeper) but stayed at adrians and its everything you would expect a man shack would be, beds fridge and oven and bathroom. thats really about it. (we did portables out of adrians, but i hear thier guides are good)

I did Arnesons a couple years back and they forgot about us 3 days in a row. They were late to get us out in the morning and were late to pick us up to head back in. We didnt catch any fish and they never came to check on us durring the day to move or anything.

We later found out that another group was stuck in our shack previously and had no luck either. We told them each day that there was nothing out there and each day they said they would be back to move us. Never happened.

The resort itself was nice and the food was good and the room was nice, but we went there to catch fish more than anything else.
