Did a recon trip to PV yesterday 1 Feb. South facing shorelines not looking good as of yesterday. Edges very soft up to 10' out. One older fella busted through. If it was colder at PV today 2 Feb possibly firmed up a bit. When I took these pictures it was 10AM Friday 1 Feb and temp in truck was 32*
Getting on in early AM at these shorelines probably not an issue its coming off later in the day that could be interesting.
For now I'd recommend going off the north side of cemetery point as shorelines didn't look nearly as bad but no guarantees are implied about not needing waders or planks to include not getting potentially wet. Again these photos were from yesterday Friday 1 Feb.

Pic from north side of Cemetery Point I didn't walk down to ice as I was lazy and didn't want to go down and hike back up the hill:

Hopefully Mama Nature will bring back colder temps to tighten things up on PV right now shorelines are soft but once out on main ice should be okay plan for slush and water at your fish'n location as a day progresses. Wouldn't take ATVs or snowmobiles on PV now...wait for it to get colder would be my recommendations for machines.
