Off road travel predictions

When do you guys think moving around on the pond will be an option again? I Bought 4 dozen sucker minnows and I have a ton of frozen bait left from last year for a late Ice pike trip. Going to keep the suckers alive for a couple weeks. was thinking of going March 23-25 and possibly the 16-18. Just wondering what people’s thoughts are when some of thensnow will melt down, and we can move around again? Haven’t been up there since feb 18. Or should I just plan a LOTW’s run instead?

Thanks, Drifter….

Looks like Long range forecast has a lot of 40 degree days… x

Next week looks warm and sunny, that will help. Maybe the snow will melt without trashing the ice at the landings. I caught some dandy pike on p4 this week about 50 yards from people ice fishing. That might be a good trip too.

were you in a boat? i’m headed there Thursday, could use some reports.

Yep. P4 is open from the dam in red wing to the start of lake Pepin. Pike were insane that weekend. Walleye, not so much.
