We hit pineview by the damn today on our way home from idaho fishin
edges are SOLID and so is the ice. There are lots of spots that look like holes, but are just weird imperfections of solid ice!! Ice was 5". We found two sets of holes about near middle and just hot spotted them so we didn't have to drill our own. We are big trout guys but figured we live so close to the big pine that we'd hit it up for kicks and giggles. Hickory smoked perch can be good! We we picked up a pile of perch off bottom, all of which were VERY hard to set hooks in. We found out why when we pulled them up and all were 2-3" lol... Bummer. Biologists say this is bad year for perch. We did catch a 13" crappie though. I would love to pull a Muskie up onto the deck, any ideas, tips, tackle, or technique??? Thanks and ice was pleanty safe and pleanty thick, at least in narrows.
