Pelican Conditions

[Remi2007]

Wondering if anyones been out on Pelican since the latest snow and what the conditions are like.

[Ray1]

Not good after this snow. Snowmobile would be best now unless you like to shovel a lot.

Have never been to pelican and keep meaning to make it down there. Are there any community holes close enough to walk to from the access? Guessing its going to be a few weeks before I will be driving out there.

pushed a road out almost a mile to get my house and move it closer to the access. lots of drifts and water in spots. need good clearance and tires to move around.

Im planning to head to pelican on Sat. Anyone know if roads are plowed and people driving since the snow? thanks

[Ray1]

Depends on where out there you are planning on going. North access or West. And how far out do you plan on going.

[auggie78]

I didn't know there is an access on the North side. I was planning on going to the west access by zorbaz

[Ray1]

Oh the zorbaz access i thaught was north (sorry) the west access to me is the one over by the campground. But oh well. I drove out yesterday from the zorbaz access. There is a road plowed for a ways but if you wanted to fish anywhere else other than siminsons point you might have troubles.

thanks for the report ray. when you were out on the lake yesterday did there appear to be any water or slush on the ice? Thanks, Dan N.

[auggie78]

Thanks for the report Ray. Now hopefully the fish are biting tomorrow!

[Ray1]

Once you get off the roads there is slush in spots.

Was on pelican on sat. Set up in about 18 feet of water. Caught two northerns on tipups and we caught perch for most of the afternoon. We were marking lots of fish on the flasher. I lost one big fish (i swear it was a walleye) right before i could see it coming up the hole. Once the sun went down we stopped marking fish. The fish that we were marking did not seem active at all. Hopefully this weather stabilizes and things pick up.

Pelican was very slow 3 houses 1 keeper walleye. travel is very tough lots of snow & slush west end of lake.

[auggie78]

Any recent reports on pelican? Going to head out there on friday. At least the temps will be close to 30!

[Rock-Bottom]

fishing was terrible for me again last friday. Going to low this thursday

[auggie78]

Thats as always for the report Rock-Bottom. Was hoping for better news but hopefully things pick up a little with the artic air gone for a couple days. Hopefully this storm they are talking about moves south and doesnt affect your trip to low
