I'm planning on going to Pine Lake tommorrow. I was out there last week, and were there most of the day, we landed 1 walley and several perch.
I've been ice fishing on Gull and Pine, never been elsewhere. Would like to explore more, but just seem to like going back to Pine even though the perch aren't what they used to be.
Ice was 13" by the way, just off of Sandy Cove.
My question is, what is everyone's experiance with respect to the proximity of a pike tip-up rig (smelt on a treble hook) to a perch rig (jig with a maggot on it)?
I have a 4 hole tent, with the holes about 2' apart from each other. Last week I was catching perch, while no action whatsoever on the tip-up adjacent.
My theory is that if pike are in the area, than perch won't be there. And if perch are there, they don't seem to mind the smelt close to the jig I'm using.
Also toying around with maybe going to Chain lakes south for Trout. Never been there.
Here's my setup, maybe see you out there?
