Firefish, saw you on the ice Sunday afternoon. I was the one in the brown coveralls fishing closer to the island while you were heading out farther. How did you do? We ended up catching some fish but only about 10 keepers.

Jiggin, I know where you are talking about. I do good in the spring and fall there but fished them a couple times in the winter and never really did very well. At the mouth of them I do good near the trees.

3 of us fished Long Island area yesterday. Fished from 7-5:30. SLOW day. As soon as we got there my brother caught a 12" perch and we were thinking it was on. After that we only caught about 4 more keeper fish. We tried pony, North Fork, (which is pretty muddy water), long pond and a couple other places. It seemed the guys that stayed in one place the whole day did best. I saw a couple guys with about 15 keeper gills, but that was for the whole day. We caught a bunch of small gills and a lot of small white bass. Just walk around the ice and see where people are just leaving the white bass laying on the ice. Talked to a lot of people and no one was doing good. At Lucys they were catching a few more fish but still not big numbers.  Ice was 6-7" everywhere we went. At least it was good to be on the ice. 

Saw on another site that Long Island has 5" on it. Haven't been there to verify it.

Talked to a guy that fished Long Island today. He said only place he fished was on the right side along the seawall. He said they caught about 100 fish but only about 10 keepers. Rest were 3-5" gills. No one ventured any further  on the ice.

I'm pretty sure I am going to hit Long Island. Haven't heard anything about Cranberry. Two friends are fishing there today and are supposed to call me tonight. Also another friend is fishing Loramie today. I'll post how they do.
