Pineview after the storm (1/30)

[Zeroid]

Went to Pineview this morning. Ice is at least 12" thick in most places and the Perch seemed to be a big bigger compared to what they normally are (not that that's saying much!  ) If you go, be sure to bring a swimsuit as there is 3-4 inches of watery slush that you will get to swim through everywhere you go.

I'll also note that while the bite always seems to be super lite at Pineview, today it was ridiculously so. I was only able to detect the bites on my ultra lite rod, and even then it was incredibly subtle.

Yeah We arrived at 2 o’clock and tried taking my snow dog from the port ramp to North cemetery point. The slush was so bad halfway across I got stuck and had to unhook and do an about face and go back. We found a high spot to setup and fish.  I brought my 10-year-old grandson with me for his first ice fishing trip. The bite was so light it was hard to teach him when to set the hook. But he finally caught on and managed to land three perch by the time we left.

I’m new owner of snowdog and still learning what it can and can’t do.   Did you have studs on the track?  Would that have made any difference? I was in a about ankle deep slush yesterday and did fine but do you ever get used to that feeling when you first hit it? What is the most extreme condition you’ve had snowdog perform well in?  

how long did you fish for? How deep were you? Did you tip jig with any bait?
What would be your 4-5 hr timeslot to fish at pineview?  Any species.
Appreciate any info.... thanks!
