Pelican Ice?

[leech~~]

Anyone been out on Pelican yet? Would like to get up there with the sled and porty soon.

[leech~~]

No ones been on the ice out there yet? Not even out past the break in front of Breezy?

[huskybass]

Wheelers have been driving out of the south access for quite some time now.  Saw one small pickup riding the shoreline a week ago.

[riffraff]

Hey leech. Had the wheelhouse out since last Thursday before this cold snap. I have 11 inches measured under the house and found no less than 8 anywhere on the way out. Good solid ice. Slooowwww fishing though.

I was also out 2 weekends ago.  Went out from the south access with the small wheel house and atv.  8 inches of ice everywhere we checked.  I do agree on the slow fishing though! 

[leech~~]

Thanks for the reports guys. Hope to get up there soon. Any ridges popping up yet like across Gooseberry?

[riffraff]

No pressure ridges yet at all. Sitting out here now as a matter of fact....

Sounds a little Selfish Leech !!!!

[riffraff]

Did I mention sloooowww? Not sure my early ice spots are going to work in the middle of January!

[Weathertite]

Its slow everywhere and this cold snap is helping the ice conditions but not helping the Bite !!!

Do you do much fishing around home Riffraff ?

My moma always told me asking people to "share" was not selfish!   Now if I said leave some for me darn-it! That maybe a little selfish.

Breezy is home. I don't live on Pelican but my fish houses have spent 30 some winters there.

[riffraff]

Don't know if I saved, shared or forgot but they are ALL still out there tonight!

I unload at Breezy and then go way out past Gooseberry there are a few spots that I do well on-sometimes!

Thank you

Do you have a sled and porty? Maybe some weekend I may see you out there if you do.

[Weathertite]

Wheeler and porty , Would that make it depending on snow depth ?

Deeper snow and drifts are killers for wheeler but I do see them out there when it's light snow or packed well.

Thanks for the information , I actually would prefer to fish smaller lakes so I guess your fish will be safe from my hooks. Best of luck to you Sir and hope your fishing is very productive for you.

Thanks again Mike

Drove by the Jones Bay access last night and there are a ton of houses out that way.  They say 8-10" of ice, no ones driving to there houses that I saw. 

[leech~~]

Thinking of hitting Pelican next Sat & Sun for a two day sled porty trip. If you see this rig out there stop and say hi. Or if you have a sled and porty and want to bang around the lake next Sat or Sunday let me know.

Hey riffraff, any ridges pop up now after this cold snap? Will be heading early Sat morning and don't want to run into a big white wall some where!

[Weathertite]

Is that bucket full of fish Leech ?  I am not tall enough to see over the edge .

Nha, I carry all my rods and tackle boxes in that. That was out on Mille Lacs last year. Caught about 15 Walleyes but all small ones, so kind of a fun first outing for the year but no keepers.

Oddly enough the ridges are not there this year. Not sure about the one that comes off the north side of island though as I use the city access on the west side (Piney Way).

Good news. Hope it stays that way.
