Mosquito is most of the way locked all but about a 3/4 mile stretch of the south end as of Thursday Dec 11. It is all skim ice maybee 1-1/2 inches thick but building. Won't be long now. So get ready. If anyone wants to join me this season let me know.

Keep us posted, I've never fished there, but would like to go with someone who knows the lake. I'm about 2 hours away in Vermilion.

The nearest large town would be Waren abot ten miles South of the lake.

How about a update on the ice forming on Skeeter ?? I would think by early next week things might be close ?

i doubt that theres only a skim of ice on it now.

Fishmaster from OGF, said he was on the northend ice sunday. Said there is open water but he went out 300 yds and ice was 4" thick. Didn't say if he caught fish or not.

Two guys out on the East shore of the North end. Looked like some frozen shove ice. I'm not that hungry yet.

hey bladebait nice to c ya on im gonna give it a few more days and you will see me out there as a rule of thumb when icefishing its better to stay on top of the ice not under it

Looking for some good reports from you guys this weekend. Still a bit too thin for me. Hopefully it locks up for good soon...

eyepod.barnes · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 06, 2009, 12:02 PM »

bladebait · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 09:04 AM »

Was only 3 inches yesterday and with the rain it looks as if it may be shot until another cold snap. Will check the lake sometime tomorrow and keep all posted of what I know.

Talked to a few guys off of 305. Said that there was about 4 inches so it looks like it will be a go this weekend for those interested. Don't know about the rest of the lake but it looks as if it will only get better with the weather forcast.

eyepod.barnes · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 09, 2009, 08:54 PM »

Eyepod, what you catch? Eyes or Crappies? Fished off of 305 and everything was SMALL. Perch,crappie, and walleye. Fishing was poor! Ice about 4in. With all the snow today I'm not sure how many will be out there on the lake this weekend. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the "big" pond this year. Hopefully the conditions will get right for us this year.

pymybob · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 10, 2009, 08:05 PM »

thanks for the report. I need a few more inches and a little less snow for me to make the drive out there. How much snow did it get today? Where I live in Akron, we got around 8". Loads of fun to pull a shanty in!!!!!

eyepod.barnes · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 11, 2009, 08:14 AM »

fishing the bouy line and doing fair if you go out today i would not cross the presure crack wathed a few people take a swim yesterday ice ic only 3 inches with a foot of snow on it be careful

peon · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 11, 2009, 03:12 PM »

we fished the causeway on the north end yesterday and close to the causeway had lots of ice im guessing 8 inches or so and the farther out you went the thinner it got. we didnt get any fish but had a great time...

eyepod.barnes · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 08:28 AM »

the cold weather the next few days will lock all that slush up making it alot safer it was pretty sloppy coming off lastnite but it was already starting to freeze up

eyepod.barnes · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 09:26 AM »

bladebait check your pm box

bladebait · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 15, 2009, 12:47 PM »

Fished today with decent results. Limit of walleye. Very early bite though. Caught fish anywhere from 20fow to 8fow. Went out of 305 ramp. Ice about 6in.

pymybob · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 16, 2009, 05:24 PM »

any reports from today? Seems like fishing is starting to pick up...

bladebait · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 17, 2009, 09:24 PM »

Fished the North end today with about a 100 other guys. What a site. Thought I was up at Catawba state park on a Saturday morning. No luck for me but did see a few eyes caught. Probably a better bite during the week cause with only about 6fow and all that traffic I'm sure there were some spooky fish. Throw in the power augers too! :embarassed:
