Went by the launch on 43 today and appeared there's only skim ice from the launch to the culvert under 43 and the west side is open(not muddy!) water for more than a hundred yards towards Lansinger-and the ice after the open water didn't appear to be very thick. In a pinch, if you have a boat, that channel area west of 43 is not too bad a place to fish( just in case you got an itch to scratch)!! Pretty much the same on the west side of Cong. Lk. though seemed pretty discolored. With temps(a little more rain tomorrow perhaps) in the upper 40's and nighttime above freezing the next couple days, Maybe give one of those a try. Thursday, forecast to be Sunny, might be the pick day!
Drove over clr and 43 today. Lake is wide open. At least what I could see going south on 43. Even east of clr. Looks a little muddy. Few shoreline spots and bays with ice
Never fished it. Were you from shore or in a boat? I'm not ready to get the boat in the water, God forbid something were to happen out there, you'd by hypothermic in minutes
Had a hour or so at Wft. from shore yesterday evening. Only tried one spot, couple of bites. Worms on bottom with floating jigs. Really didn't care it was slow, just nice to be out in fairly nice weather. Might un-wrap the boat Wed if forecast holds, wanting to try Mosquito.
Update, calm, mild w/sun forecast didn't happen! Chilly, cloudy, Windy, rain!
Not really! (It's called ."phishing")-noone bit on "Mogadore" so went where someone had some luck. That and the fact I only had a brief window time-wise so I went to the closer one to me(Wft). The park has easy access to decent shore spots, Moggy, not so much. If you'll notice, this happens a lot on here with some posts!
Are we talking about me? I was fishing the park. Do some walking and casting and find them. Went back the next day and they were gone but found them in a different spot 1000 yards away.
No, about ME posting info on being able to fish Moggy, mentioned Mosquito, then I ended up going to Wingfoot! Crazy-post title should have fishing opportunitiesNE Ohio(in general) I guess. Appreciate your adding catching locally w/pic!(Fish porn!) This transition period from ice to open water, back to ice(?) is tough times.
Just to clarify... The irony I saw was in Fishingful's post with the sink full of delicious fish... combined with the note below his username showing "catch and release". All good by me, just funny.
Missed that one completely. Was sure it was in reference to starting a thread abt one lake and then expanded to include other lakes(which does happen on here all the time.) LOL! This time of year, it's all good!(Better than "garbage can " threads!!)
Ohhh lol. The only time I really keep fish is in the winter. I don't have a freezer full and will keep a meal or enough for a family fish Fry once a year. Wife likes them so I will keep some for her and maybe have a few peices.
We are headed to Michigan tommrow. More than likely won't bring a fish back with us unless we cant put it back.
New to this area and site. Just moved to the Brimfield area and checking out the local lakes. Mogadore looks very nice, but here's a dumb question.....how do I get to the boat ramp on the west side? I drove partway down Landsinger(?) but it was pretty muddy and lots of potholes, so I didn't go all the way.... I see boats on the west side of Rt 43 and wonder how they got there. lol
Thanks, all.
Lansinger ramp isn't the greatest but it gets the job done if your fishing the west side. Depending on the size of your boat you can launch from 43 and go under the bridge to the west side. I use 43 only so I don't have to drive down lansinger with the trailer,
Mogadore's a good lake with lots of panfish, in 3-4 weeks it'll be on fire

Thanks Erie. My boat is 16 ft. The passageway under 43 looks too low to get a boat through there...but someone must be doing it. lol
Tilefish....I really appreciate the info and the welcome. I'll be checking it out soon!
X2 on the Rt 43 ramp. Lansinger can be a mess. It's only about 5-7 minutes to get there by boat if you launch from Rt 43. And the Rt 43 side has some good fishing as well. Welcome to the area and the site!
If the water is high after a big rain, you might not be able to get your boat under 43. You also might have a problem launching a 16 footer at Lansinger since the launch ramp is so shallow. Also, the lake is electric only, so you better have a good battery and electric motor to push that boat!
Guys fish from the 43 bridge , BUT it's suppose to be off limits there was painted signs on the concrete steps , on the cLR causeway I read that's also a no no , not a lot of room by the road, someone else can chime in about this post if I'm wrong.
No fishing allowed on the bridge. Same as congress lake but see people do it all the time. I was fishing the dock at 43 one time and seen a sheriff stop some guy fish on the steps but I'm not sure if he got ticketed or not
