Conneaut lake:
first time fishing hard water on this lake, can any one tell me a good place to pull out from?

Wherever has the safest ice... But honestly Fireman's Beach is the common stepping off point for most.

Hope they don’t have the bubblers going there. They kept shoreline access very limited last year.

I can’t believe that it is safe to cross the channel yet

Not safe yet, please be careful!

I hope what little ice is on will sink from this snow coming up

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 15, 2022, 07:26 PM »

Will not sink...sorry typo...

Any word on condition of conneaut? Hoping to get out. What do you guys target on this lake?

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 20, 2022, 06:35 PM »

Giant muskie and pike on the north end and south end has good pan fishing...but I did hear unless you know someone to get on the south end...the only access will be on the north end..something dealing with the docks..the north end had a skim of ice a few weeks ago.

Iwrush · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 20, 2022, 06:59 PM »

You use the boat launch by pafc for the north end to gain access?? Also, the firemans weedbed for pike? But that is south end correct?

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 21, 2022, 07:50 AM »

The north end is the dnr entry and yes the nice weed bed is on the south end.

Drove by the south end on Rt. 322 on my way home from work today and there were two people on the ice out from the docks/Silver Shores. There was no ice around the docks so I'm not sure how they got out there and can't report on the ice thickness

1moslab · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 21, 2022, 06:40 PM »

Thank you for the info sure love that lake

Icefishingjames · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 21, 2022, 06:53 PM »

Thought about fishing the north end of the lake tomorrow. Any report on ice thickness?

Iwrush · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 22, 2022, 08:10 AM »

No ice by the docks? I find that hard to believe. Anyone out today? Good luck

1moslab · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 22, 2022, 03:58 PM »

Lost off of Firemans beach today had about 7 inches of pretty good I couldn’t find no fish

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 22, 2022, 04:54 PM »

My husband's friend fished there yesterday...He said he walked right of the dock...??
Also there was 6" of ice with at least 2" of white on top...caught 5 large bluegill,,and 2 pikes.
Also there was at least 3 foot of snow piled up around docks and shore line,..that blew off the lake to the south end..

Yes. Itll be a tough drag for sure. They going to attempt it? Wheres best live bait spot?
