Pigeon Reports
 

Just checking into how things are at Pigeon? Anyone catching anything? Was out last weekend and had no luck.

I've seen a few tents out there... just wondering if anyone is into whites yet?

I hope to have better results this Sunday when I head back.

was middle of the lake ,
was back out the there this afternoon the bite was slow between 2 of us landed half a dozen and seen about a dozen walleye and one pike , over a foot of ice everywhere we drilled .

was at silver beach yesterday afternoon only seen a burbot
went over to Sandholm and seen white fish

16 inches of ice off Sandholm beach today

Any luck today?

Was out at Silver Beach today.Caught 18 thick walleye in 5hrs.10 fow and ice was 14-16 in.Had a great day out there and ran into another forum member.Besides the 2 of us there was only one group that didnt stay very long.

I have been to silver beach 3 times lately (not yesterday though) and tried all depths from 5' to 21' and haven't seen a single fish yet. Nobody that I talked to saw a fish either, or so they said. The ice was thick everywhere that I drilled, averaging 13". I'm surprised nobody was driving on with vehicles yet although there was a bit of floodwater at the boat launch on Sunday.

seen one pike in about 6 feet of water

Brutal.
That lake stumps me.
In the summer it seems wherever I go and drop my jig and minnow down, I’m on fish , literally catch 100 a day in one spot.
In winter I’ve had days of seeing one or two fish.
Definitely more of a summer lake for me anyway.

I have not ice fished pigeon for years , until this year so I am going to figure it out by trying different places around the lake , going to try a mid lake gravel bar today ,
I have been looking for these big whites but only have seen one so far.
no one I have talked to on the ice has been doing well .

Fishing straight out from grand view on 2 outings I’ve seen zero walleye, zero pike, one burb and quite a few whites. Big ones with hump backs.

we have fished Grandview 3 or 4 times this winter did ok for walleyes closer to the point .
drilled a lot of holes from 5 to 22 feet . to find the fish, one spot looked like zebra mussels on the bottom did not have the camera to see close up what they were but a real think mat of them .

found some fishing gear at pigeon lake today if you lost some gear send me a pm as to what you lost and where , I would like for the owner to have it back, thanks

Theres some xmas spirit. Atta boy. I hate losing gear.

no takers

Any trucks out at grandview yet?

Yup. A few half tons today. Ice was 17.5” over 25 feet of water.

Ice thickness
 

Just a heads up, I’m starting to see more 1/2 tons driving on the ice. In most spots I’m seeing 14”-16” of ice but I was out deep this morning and found the thickness varied in a few spots.... it was only 8”-9”.... keep your heads up.
And to the guys ripping towards shore going 70-80km/hr in the pickup.... stay the hell away from anyone fishing. The ice is really cracked up in a lot of spots this year & looks worse than many previous years so far. It won’t take much of screwup to cost you $$$.

Where? Pigeon I presume?

Also where did you find 8-9? Has to be along shore I’m guessing. From Mulhurst to Silver beach and to Mameo its all 16 plus.

Maybe an old crack that is freezing up. :thinking-006:

Gbuss

The Grandview launch was also broke up pretty bad, big plate of ice was broke off and floating.

When? I left there at 4pm yesterday.

2 days ago, came off in the afternoon and the whole slab between shore and the main ice was floating. Pushed a lot of water to get off.

Doesn’t surprise me. Some jack bum was flying towards shore doing about 70-80kmh yesterday. Probably a decent wave under the ice.....

I'm just wondering if there's more stupid people out there nowadays, or if it's just cuz I'm getting older and smarter LOL, actually I think I remember doing that in my 20s
