We fished out of Apps lot 9 to 1:30 pm. Went out 200 yds past the pressure ridge, good trail out to deeper water. We fished in 16’, never marked a fish (Beautiful, Sunny,HP day). 14” snow over 5” ice, drilled jigging holes and sat in 4” of water. Broke through at the pressure ridge walking back in (tuck and roll, never got wet). It’s tough out there, but good enough access at Apps and Godfrey Point. Wheelers maybe, side x side No, snowmobiles good to go.
snow is heavy andwet now it ain't blowing off
It was all hidden last night. The warm weather and rain this morning is making the slush pockets pretty obvious. And they’re deep! So beware. That wasn’t at KPs tree branch hole was it 😉 I remember just a few years ago there was 21 days that 4 wheelers didn’t get out was even tough for sleds , that year I made 20+ Platforms where I was high and dry , but it was a long tube to pull fish

That's classified information. I didn't want to get busted for posting it on the interwebs.
Heads up that I foresee a major slush event for south shore (Chapman Park) tomorrow.Conditions deteriorated while I was out there this morning.The warm wind is helping knock down the snow but causing wide spread slush spots. If I didn’t follow my old tracks from yesterday, which froze last night, back in I would have been in trouble with one banger snowmobile and heavy shack.Colder temps to come but I don’t think cold enough to improve things for tomorrow.Good luck out there.PerchEyesP.s., the fishing sucked, only one perch.

These folks in Wisconsin are bummed, the whole crew floating out to sea
