I know it is early, but does anyone out there have eyes on Kiser? Hope to be on the ice up there in the next few weeks!!!
Thanks,

Any update on the ice?
I don't want to miss this short window (if it opens), but need to tell my boss by 5pm today, if I want to take off work tomorrow. Don't want to burn a vacation day without ice!

Thanks! I can’t make it out on Sunday, but if there is good ice….I might be calling in sick on Monday!

The weather looks promising for the next 5 days, and I’m ready for round 2! Has anyone seen the lake recently? Just curious if there was any ice left after the last few days. Kiser is a 1.5hr drive for me…please keep the ice reports coming.
Thanks,
Mark

Has anyone been on Kiser? The ice reports sounded good last week, but I’m not sure how the rain & high temps impacted Kiser Saturday. I got my gear ready, put some finishing touches on the flip-over, and can’t wait to get on the ice. I plan to take Tuesday or Wednesday off to fish Kiser…if the ice cooperates.
Thanks!

I told myself that since I’m waiting for 4”+ of ice, I really didn’t need to get a spud bar….I would just follow the crowd. However, I can’t wait for the crowd, and hope to get on the ice early next week (if Saturday doesn’t spoil the party). So, I don’t have time to order a “proper” ice chisel, and finding ice gear in SW Ohio is almost impossible. Is there something that I can get at a hardware store? This looks like it would do the trick, but at 17lbs it might just go through 6” of ice? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Atlas-70-in-Tamper-Head-Digging-Bar-GXB-441/202531238Any cheap recommendation that I can find locally would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mark

Thanks for the report!!!!!
I hope that the ice keeps growing, and makes it through the weekend rain. All I want for Christmas is 4” of safe ice on Kiser!

Fished Sunday from 8:30am – 3:00pm. Mixed bag of mostly gills, but did get a couple of bass, a nice crappie, and the perch below. I bounced between a jig & a slender spoon (both tipped with waxies). They seemed to want something moving, and the slender spoon out fished the jig 2:1. Tons of people out there…..shame the weather is going to spoil everyone’s fun!!!

Anyone plan to fish Kiser on Friday?
I hope to get there around 2pm, and fish until 6-6:30pm. I will be in a clam scout launching from the fishing pier across from the beach.

Planning to hit the docks (first time) this weekend. Primarily, I’m looking to set-up/learn how to use my Elite 4, but I will obviously be fishing too. Would you suggest ice rods or “normal” crappie rods (7’) for fishing the docks with sonar?
Thanks,
Mark

Second year iceman, and addicted. Kiser is my closest lake, but is over 1.5hrs away. I hope to hit it about 5 times, and maybe 15 total ice trips a year (if I'm lucky and the weather is right). Looking for my first shelter. 75% of my fishing will be solo.
Is it worth dragging a flip up for solo fishing?
Is it worth dragging a larger flip up for the additional room/ having space for a second fisher?
Is dragging a larger sled (30 lbs heavier) worth the extra space, and ability to accommodate an 2nd person?
Thanks,
Mark

Last weekend was my first time ever ice fishing. I have never been to Kiser, but hope to make the drive up from Cincinnati on Sunday. I’ve read through the reports, and it seem like there is plenty of ice. Will the ice be safe during the heat wave this weekend?
I plan to start at the boat rental and try to find the 12’ hole, or start by the 2nd fishing pier (west end). Either way, I will drill holes until my arms gives out, or I find fish.
I addition to being a total ice rookie, I’ve never caught a perch. Any lure suggestions, or other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
