Fished Sat at east harbor 2-7pm, was one of the last ones off. Ice was awesome and best drag ever, sled pulled me on the bare ice with the wind. I caught about 100 perch gills and crappies…0 keepers booo, couple borderline.
Sunday fished Mosquito off 305…horrible drag, especially coming in with the drifting snow. Every hole I drilled was at least 5” clear with some cloudy on top. Fished 10-7 last one off, same result…lots of fish, 1 10” perch and 11” crappie.
No success but I’m super happy to get out first time this year. Blew the leftover Covid outta my lungs dragging back in on Sunday night through all that snow and can’t wait for Friday!
Still have a lot to learn here…
Fishing Buckeye and a pond this year I’ve been catching bluegill and the occasional straggler crappie fishing around downed trees. This has been anywhere from 4-10 feet of water.
What do I do to find more crappies and maybe some perch? Do I look for trees going down into deeper water or get away from the shore completely? I prefer to stay in coves… just makes me feel a little safer on the ice than being way out there
Good morning icers! - WOW what a bunch of fish porn y’all provided yesterday! [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91][emoji91] Thank you!!
Still looks like we’re running the ice maker![emoji1739][emoji1633][emoji1739][emoji1633][emoji1739][emoji1633][emoji1739][emoji817]
Hopefully nobody’s getting complacent with safety during this amazing time. SPUDS, SPIKES ,PICKS,ROPE.[emoji817]
Best of luck to those headed out today! Positive vibes & lips on hooks!

Heading to pymatuning for a weekend of fishing. Don't want to regret not having hot lure. Anyone have luck with lindy rattling glider or vmc tingler spoon. I have tons of everything else.. filling box.
Bite was kinda slow for me today fished from 10-4 and brought home about 10 perch and a crappie between 2 of us. This was my first time on the ice this year and it was nice to get out.
Got out on portage this afternoon/evening. Figured I'd show off pictures of all the fish we got.
Yeah, that's how our time was. Fish were rediculously skittish. Tried everything from Swedish pimples, jigging raps and buckshot, down to the smallest tungsten in my box with a single maggot. They would literally go screaming off the screen as soon as you moved whatever you were using. Nothing else to do but chuckle a little. Going back Friday after work so hopefully things get a bit better.
Man...fishing has been horrible this week. Anyone else struggling. Only two more days till I go back to reality. Hopefully I can figure something out before Friday.
Just got home from another fantastic day on the ice. Between myself and archerjay..we landed ummm, probably 25-30 walleye. Problem was...most were an inch shy of legal size. Lol
Did manage 4 nice keepers and some jumbo perch. I lost some tanks on my med light with 6 lb test tho. Once I switched to a stiffer rod and braid...I didn't loose anymore. Fast action tho on small cast masters with a minnow head. And those tingler spoons are a great lure too. On Sat and Sunday that was the hot lure.
Good morning gentlemen! - What beautiful weather we have going on here! [emoji1316][emoji1739][emoji1633]. I bet that lake is moaning this morning. Hopefully someday sooner than later I’ll get a chance to walk a lil water! [emoji1696]
Bundle up don’t get frostbite & make sure you’ve got your safety gear. [emoji817]

Up north the ice was good. 6-8”
Fish were willing to play. Moved one time and found some consistent action. 16-18”. Had a tank come off on the second trip to the hole when my so called buddy grabbed my line!! Had a dozen come unbuttoned on the trip up and returned a bunch of shorts. Didn’t see any bad spots but didn’t want to push it too far with open water still out there.
fished in 23’. Little over a mile out.
Good morning ice hounds! - I see we’re having a bit of a heatwave this morning. [emoji22]. Should be a pretty good day out there though. [emoji1696]. I know there will be scattered days of warm in the future but all indications are pointing to a nice long season! [emoji1739][emoji1633][emoji3063][emoji1696]
Yesterdays reports & fish porn were fire![emoji91][emoji123][emoji1316]
Heard they pulled a sled out of the water in PLX yesterday. Proves the point even tho some places have 10” of ice there are still plenty of areas that look just like everything else that have 2-3” of ice with lots of snow on top. SPUD,SPUD,SPUD! [emoji817]
Stay safe out there fishing the PLX main chain. Keep an out eye out for those on sleds & quads who might be inconsiderate.
