I hit Pineview this morning with my daughter's boyfriend.
We were on the water before the sun came up. The temp was -20.
We went south off of Cemetary Point. We fished in about 35' of water. The fish were coming through on the finder, but just wouldn't hit.
We gave up just before 10 and headed to EC.
We were on the water by 11:00 and I caught a fish on the first drop.
We left at 2:00 with both of us having limits of trout. The biggest was 19" that Scotty brought to the top of the ice on his last drop.
The fishing was very fast for the first hour and then slowed down to just steady.
It was fun trying the new two pole thing. Had one minor mixup when I caught a fish that wrapped himself up in the other line and one major when the two lines got tangled while jigging. I had to cut the lines to get them apart.
It was a little wild when both poles were bobbing at the same time.
The temp only warmed up to 15, without the wind it was a very nice day to be on the ice though.
Neither one of us brought a camera, so no pics.
When we were cleaning the fish, one of them was clear full of little minnows. I don't know what kind they were, they kind of looked like somekind of sunfish.
Most of my fish were caught a red headed jig with a green body that Tube Dude gave me. Thanks Pat.
They didn't seem to really care what color you had on, just if you had a meal worm on. I did catch one on a wax worm.
We were in 52 feet of water and the fish were right on the bottom. I would watch them on the finder come up and hit the jig. It was great fun.
