Fished Mulhurst bay this morning. Ice is a very solid 6-8 inches. Someone has even been driving on with a Ranger sized pickup. It is going to be a good ice year....maybe too good. Might have to think about an auger extension for later year fishing.
I got to watch a lot of whites swimming around. I think they were actually laughing at me. Broke down after a bit and dropped a jig and minnow - lost 1 and landed 2 walleye - normal Pigeon sized.
For all those out there that think the summer kill of whites had any major impact, think again. There are plenty.
None took a shot at the hook. Swimming around would be too strong a word...more like swimming by. The only one that took an interest was when I tossed a meal worm in and as it was falling one of the whites appeared to be half interested but turned away. I'm a whitefish newbie. Had some luck late last year but they do seem more willing in Mar/Apr. Any tips for a whitie newb?
Best thing I have found for whites in Pigeon Lake is probably a red and yellow wire worm with a maggot about a foot off the bottom with very little movement they spook very easily in pigeon .May be a little early they should be starting to spawn so they may not be hungry yet.
We find the best whitefish fishing just before Christmas. Anyone try Gull yet or anywhere else?
check your regs man. Gull is closed for a bit longer.........

Your right NDN. I'm just getting out of hunting mode and haven't had a chance to check into any fishing stuff. Thanks for pointing out the Gull opener.
Was out on Mulhurst this morning...about 9 inches of ice and pretty solid. One shack is already out on the ice, and I saw someone drive on with a jeep! Don't think I would've driven on today, but, his vehicle I guess. Fishing was slow, saw a few whites but couldn't get one on a wire worm or a wetaskiwin. Ended getting a couple eye's and calling it a day, started getting windy. Good luck to all.
