Was plowing all day. Curious if anyone checked the ice. 14” of snow probably ruined the god 4” we had.
-
hey joel i dont think ya could get out there without snow shoes hahahhaahha
-
I stopped by the main park at wingfoot and theres still open water there :(
-
Thanks guys! At this point open water is better than 3” of ice under a foot of snow. With the temps the next 5 days we’ll be good to go soon I think! Thanks guys!!
-
Where are you guys heading this weekend?? Moggy maybe OSP here??
-
Also, is anyone scouting today? I'm curious as to if the snow screwed us or not!
-
I didn’t make it out yesterday, still plowing, but had reliable reports of multiple guys on Nimi at all ramps. But check your own ice after the storm.
-
Thanks Slab! Might check that one out also!
-
I took a ride and seen people at just about every parking lot at Nimi. As always, use your spud and good luck.
-
Hopefully someone gives a report.
-
Hopefully so, if not I’ll give one tomorrow. Going to head up that way sometime myself. Have to plow again, but even if I don’t fish much, I’ll at least check ice conditions and thicknesses.
-
Was going to put my sled up for sale but now I'm thinking I'd rather die pulling my sled than shoveling snow or doing something else I really don't care about. So hopefully there are paths to follow. Anyone have a report for Nimi or berlin or Milton? I'm fairly new to Ohio and I know that there's a few lakes that are electric only (for boats) besides Mogador, are they worth the trip?
-
Berlin is tricky. Long time to get safe ice. Nimi is great! Talked to a guy today who’s dad got a 15” crappie last night. Should be plenty of paths on Nimi. Lots of guys out there last couple days.
-
Yeah going to head out to Nimi Friday, wife needs the truck tomorrow. Probably go out of the big parking lot opposite c5. Hopefully the perch that were close last year grew some over the summer.
-
i hope the perch grow a little bigger in nimi sure a lot of pencil perch, at least the wind isnt howling too the point that its blowing my pop up , sled and me accross the lake again..lol im headed out this week end, not sure where yet , but will post when i do...
-
Cool! Glad you guys are getting out! I’m taking the weekend off after 4 straight trips I’m out of gas. I’ll be back at it next week though!
-
Went to Nimi today for about 4 hours and didn't do too bad. Caught 4 keeper perch, biggest was 10 inches and the other 3 were between 8 and 9. They have some big shad in Nimi, watched a school go by that must of had 30 fish in it. Those things are probably 15 inches long, the perch move aside when they came through. Took a video from the U C. About 6 inches of ice. Still a ton of dinks there. Good luck this weekend.
-
Did Nimi again last week, went to the same spot and caught around 28 perch. Only took 8 home. Going to try for crappie or bass next time out, even though they are considered keepers, still a pain to fillet and don't get much. And why were they still alive after being on the ice for 3 hours and I left them in the bucket for a couple more when I got home, all were alive and trying to stab me.
-
Did enough ice survive that we might get out on Sunday after a couple of cold days? Thinking maybe Mogadore or Nimisila?
-
Yes. A friend of mine is on Nimi now. He said 8” in some places. But some areas are soft and you’ll need to spud everywhere. Edges are kinda soft. But he didn’t need a plank.
-
3 shanties on Mogadore CLR yesterday as i went by. With the cold today prob got better around the edges.
We're not done yet ..lol
