Pineview 5 Feb
#1
Needed some personnel downtime so decided to go fish'n Friday... [cool]

Weather:

Got to PV at 0730 arrival temp was 14*. Departure temp was 24* at 3PM. Cloudy all day with snow spit'n but hardly any new accumulation for Friday...but as I type this on Sat AM...and looked at the weather PV could possibly have the awakening of the evil slush monster [mad]

Ice conditions Friday:

Pineview had new snow last Sunday close to 9" so be weary of where you venture. Stay on previous sled tracks and you'll be okay. If you venture off there's slush 5" down with a depth of 4-6". It'll be a good cardio workout with post holeing.

Snowmobiles will be okay staying on previous sled tracks. Wouldn't recommend tak'n ATVs unless you stay on a previous sled track...the previous sled tracks the snow got packed down to the slush and froze.

Ice conditions will depend on where you go...we took the chariot over to Browning Point to start stepped off the sled and instantly broke through 5” of snow to 4-5" of slush [shocked] . Snow had no indications of tracks or folks fish'n previously. Sled was on top of the snow as it packed the snow to the slush layer. When I moved the sled it definitely went down to the slush but the tricks dubob taught me I was just fine...Moved the sled to some previous sled tracks which were frozen solid.

After a couple of hours and no keepers but plenty of dinks…moved off Cemetery Point and found an area previously fished frozen solid up to the surface. No slush and the sled was sit'n on top of the ice...which makes me feel a whole lot better. [Smile]

Ice is close to 20" thick but a good 8" of it is frozen slush some areas the slush is semi frozen. (snow cone ice).

Fish’n Report:

Fishing Rating: Good with the fish'n tapering way off after 1PM:

Lures used were Ants tipped with Waxie and/or Perch eyes/meat.

Fished in primarily 40’ of water. Ended up with some nice Perch largest going at 12".

Great post.[cool] I went out last Thursday to PV and found similar conditions (with out the snow) and had similar results. Hope it stays cold enough to keep the slush gone
but its seems that is not likely.[fishin]
