Thanks for posting this. I will watch this thread as I have the same questions and plan on going for the first time this year as well. One more question, can I get away with a six inch auger if targeting walleye on erie or do I need to go bigger?
Going to head out to Perry on Wednesday, it will be a east wind for 1 1/2 days the switch to the north east. That should push the ice to shore. I would think that would be the best bet for fishing with out the ice breaking off.
I have seen a N.E. wind at Camp Perry open up the crack a time or two over the years of fishing there.
I'm also new to the whole Lake Erie ice thing....I bought all the gear this year (clam XL2000,buddy heater,7" hand auger, Marcum lx-6) but the only thing that I'm missing is the wheels or Air Boat out to the fishing spot, would it be possible to walk out from Camp Perry? I was thinking about heading out on Thursday if anyone was walking out and maybe I could tag along to learn the trail out!
How deep are you fishing in PA for pan fish on Erie? Any tips on what to looks for?
