Info on acces?

Heading up to ice fish leech for the first time on Friday morning. I know that I could get out of trappers and sounds like I could not get past pelican. Just have done a little research, not finding much for who has plowed road or who even allows road passes. Do I  need one or could I use a public? I was thinking of trying to get around horseshoe bay. I will call big Rock and horseshoe bay lodge and ask also. Was just wondering if anyone knows how or where to get out with the ice castle.  Any info on where to start? I can find my own spots pretty well by studying the topography but any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same boat as you last Friday. We ended up going out of pine point up in suckered bay at the end meat the owner at the liquor store Friday morning. Ended up fishing in 10 feet of water caught nice big fish Friday night then nothing sat but that fishing . There was lots of ice and a lot of people but it was easy to fish by ourselves lots of room to roam. He charged 20 bucks for the weekend 17 to 20 inches of ice there was a 1 ton pulling a fifth wheel fish house.

Thanks for the info. I was also thinking about pine point. Looking at possibly going out of the shores at pine point and heading to goose island. We'll see what happens. Looking for walleye, perch, and some big slimers

chevy,

 Wondering if you made it up fishing and how you did? Im heading up sat hoping to catch something more than a buzz.

I did make it up. Got there early friday morning left on sunday. Went out of trappers. No luck for me last weekend though. Started out by the red rocks near pelican-1 small perch. Moved to a break on sat morning just north of miller bay-nothing. Saw a smaller northern on the camera. Moved to east side of huddles Reef near some rocks mid day sat. One small perch and released a 13 inch perch. Tried many colors and styles of lures. Tried downsizing and upsizing. Pounding the bottom and rattle baits to call them in-not much luck. Small perch were caught on my go to rattlin flyer. The jumbo was on a big stop sign perch colored jig on a rattle reel. Was going to pout fest, but with the no vehicle rules. I am going to milie lacs from Wednesday til sunday. Hoping to find a big girl somewhere this year. Good luck at leech. They are out there, I just couldn't find them last weekend.

P.s. The trip was fun and traders seemed like a nice place. I did catch more buzzes than fish though

Thanks for the info I'm thinking I'm just going to head where I did before out of the shores at pine point. Set up in 10 feet like before and hope for the best.

I'm torn between going to Leech or Winnie for a day and evening of minnow drowning!

Me and wife are heading to leech in the morning any last min advice from anyone. Sounds like the perch bite is starting to pick up in the shallows. Just what I heard got a buddy up there now fishing by little Harwoods said he isn't getting anything but little perch
