Pigeon Reports

[JBFranklin]

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 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.

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 .

Any trucks out at grandview yet?

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

[Soiler]

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 $$$.

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.

When? I left there at 4pm yesterday.

[WildCats]

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
