Title: First Ice
Post by: GOTICE? on Dec 12, 2018, 02:27 PM

A couple friends of mine made it out on the ice yesterday at Indian Lake. Ice was about 2.5" of clear hard ice. They caught a few fish. Myself I would need about another 1-2" before I get on the ice. I'm sure with the 10 day frecast its not going to last.

A couple of young, lightweight 'flat-bellies" were on Mogadore 12/12/18 on 2" of ice.

I'm a large guy.  I'll get out once it hits 5".

Tuesday, Jan 15th, 2019.. Inland lakes in NE Ohio starting to lock up. Ice formation continues to be SLOW. Ice thickness is less than 2" on most inland waters.

Caught 2 trout & a bluegill yesterday, wasn't all that far from shore. Ice was good n clear, but not that thick. I was w a buddy, wouldn't chance it solo. It was nice being back out but I'll wait for another inch or two now
