Northwood Lake ?

[TMG]

Anyone ever go there? I have been thinking of trying it.
looks like a nice place.

I've been there a few times. Lately the weeds have been tough for fishing. Not nearly as bad as BIP (I know...Let it go Mac ).Points worked well years ago. I don't think I went there this year.
Launch is fun. If someone is launching, wait until they make the corner before you pull up. There is room but why rush and take a chance having the guy hit your rig.

Yup the launch road is narrow and the launch is shallow.
When leaving shore stay to the right side to get to the main lake.
The left side has many hazards that can do hull damage.
Points usually work OK as long as the winds are light.
I like finding weeds in 13 ft if the points are not working and fishing plastics but the
fish should be moving shallower now.
I have seen good bags of fish taken out of the launch cove itself from extremely shallow water.

first of the year fish the " little " stream on the left as your heading out from the launch....... seriously !! Summer pattern to win a tourney, cast way up under the docks

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to try it there in the next couple weeks

Don't wait too long. They do a draw down in about 2-3 weeks. You would be able to walk about 100yards once they do that. You'd have to wear snowshoes though. The mud is pretty deep there.

Made it to Northwood today. and man did I have a tough day, all day the only bass I caught was a 6 inch smallie that I finally got in the last 10 min.it may have been small but at least I didn't get skunked my friend got one small largemouth we still had a good time we where just about the only boat there.

Northwood has not been very good all year.
It gets especially tough if it gets windy.
