Good luck!

I cannot imagine an entire winter without fishable ice - - which is what I understand has been the case the last year or so down your way.

Fingers crossed that you're able to get out soon.

I saw someone say something about East harbor me and a few buddy’s are going out there Sunday wondering if anyone out that way had eyes on or could tell me what the ice looks like my buddy has Facebook but it’s a crap shoot of people saying no go to 7 inches of ice in spots just looking to be safe and have a good time any help is appreciated, I’d make the drive over there but it’s 40 minutes to make a trip just to test ice. Thanks guys oh btw new here so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know

Took a ride to the state park today to put my own eyes on the ice. A lot of pack ice shoved in like it was 2 years ago. No one out. Mouse to put in bay open water. Put in bay west to green looks like a huge ice wall hopefully the island guys got lucky to keep there ice. A lot of ice off the state park but could see pockets of open water. I am hoping for next weekend but man with a spud could probably figure it out by Monday.    :tipup:Mark

Looks like the only fishing to be had on the islands is in Put-In-Bay harbor.

The ice looks locked up from Middle Bass to Ratelsnake but is all new ice since the big blow.

I hope by end of next week, there will be some fishing if we dont get too much wind.

Below is the Middle Bass web cam link.

Out here on Catawba now. 5-7 in inside the shove spudded my way through only 2-3 on the other side be very careful the ice is all over the board. No luck so far today. The guy across from me was here all morning with a camera and has not seen anything but shad. Made it to about 1.2 almost dead west out of the state park. Be extra careful.  :tipup:mark

I'm willing to bet that the ice season down there is pretty much over.. I was going to make an attempt to drive down there and after some research decided it's not worth the drive!!!!
