Tough day of fishing today.. We tried everything but just couldn't get them to bite.. Pike lake still has a good 6 inches of solid ice under the slop.. The slush was frozen when we arrived this morning, but it started melting pretty good this afternoon.. By the time we left at 6:00 we were standing in an inch of water.. At one point, we left Pike Lake and went to Lake Winona, but the ice on Winona was sketchy at best.. There was two inches of water on top of the ice.. Some spots had 6" of solid ice, but other spots we could stick the spud clear through without much effort.. So we played it safe and went back to pike lake.. I think the hard water season is about over with.. Pike lake will probably be fishable tomorrow but I don't see it lasting much longer than that.. Everyone please be safe out there..
