fished sat.morn and sun.morn as well as sun.evening and hooked four saugeye;two really good ones both came unbuttoned and two decent keepers.sat.morning hook up came at 8:30 and again sun.morning same time then sunday evening two hook ups in 10min between 5:45pm and 6:00.i was using vibe-e.if i had minnows, may have produced more and i was fishing off south bank somewhere

i"ve seen this water gush out from a hole before at kiser when there was inches of snow on top of the ice. it is amazing,but the weight of the snow pushing down on the ice is the cause of this.if you go to ohiogamefishing.com you will find a post with pic of a really nice 22in.saugeye taken off africa road this past weekend.however it is always wise to check your own ice for safety.

i checked this last minute,but i will be there with a friend.sorry about late response; don't worry about providing food for us,because of late response.just looking forward to spending time with knowledgeable indian ice fisherman.

i have had for a few years a mora and just recently purchased a lazer 6in..i usaully, even with the mora don't have problem with 5in.of ice,but beyond 6 the mora was getting tiersome and haven't had the lazer long enough to know the difference.however, while fishing kiser last week,an old gettleman had a nils auger and allowed me to try it.i found it to be the easiest and fast hand auger i have used .has anyone else used a nils and what are your thoughts?

what defines a sport fish? to me a saugeye is a sport fish.saugeye seem to be every bit the challenge to catch as a bass with alot of sucess depending on the knowledge of the angler and his ability to present a lure in a specific style or technique.this is not derectly aimed at firefish, but bass anglers seem to be snobish in there attitude toward other fish, putting the almighty bass at the top.there is not a bass angler out there that knows challenge if they haven't spent time chasing steelhead in rivers under harsh winter conditions and if they did they became better bass fisherman from the experience.my 2 cent.

mike's across from levans always has them.was there this morning and he had them.i went to turkeyfoot and ice was only 4in. with large area of open water by docks and channel;ice should still be fine in other areas.this was first time in turkeyfoot this season and it did not produce,but be aware this area looks to be one of the first to become unsafe.

i too have not been to presque, but have read about it .not sure if i remember where i got reports from,but i believe landbigfish.com used to have reports.however i think that site has become more of a tackle shop than reports.anyway i too will be off next week and am interested in a trip,but i think we should have someone who knows the bay tag along versus two guys making a 4hr drive not knowing much of what they will find when they get there.
