Ive been up n out 4 times. Have yet to see anyone doing this. Be careful, we put half the quad threw twice on sunday 100 yrd off the beech just east off the x mas tree trail. We could have driven the truck out there 3 days prior. Wind last weekend opened up a few cracks n that cold and snow hid them. We smoked the fish with 2 over 10 lbs and 2 over 11 on thursday 2.2 miles west northwest outta catawaba.

Snuck out on wallace lake this afternoon in Berea. Ice was solid everywhere. All that slop firmed up. Was on 5" to 6" of ice. Most of it was cloudy but it felt solid to walk and drill into. Just thought I would let yall know. This weekend a go for sure most any place I would say

Thanked God for that one when I was home and in the hot shower.

Also it was so cold, the lake firmed up a lot in the 3or so hrs we fished. Needed planks to get on the ice and none to get off. Back at it wed.

Man I had a close call this afternoon. Was on some ice and a big section I was on got crazy on me. Very soft and i must have pushed it down 5" with every step. Friend 20 yards away said he never seen that before. Saw me sinking. Said he could hardly see my feet. I was puckered I know that. Was Fine right near there. So yeah. Please be more careful than I was today. It was about -5 at this point and we had a long walk to the car. I would have been an icecube

Me and a friend set up at 7:30 on wallace lake in berea. Had our 3 trout each by 9:30. Fun fished till 11 and caught a few more. Sherburt powerbait fished near bottom was what worked best. Did a entire interveiw for ch. 8 but they cut that out :-(  oh well you could see my hand and a far off shot or 2 of us and an old euro wallace vet. .Ice was not great but I felt ok on it. 5" total.  2 good, 3" crap ice. That was my green shanty.

Left there and hit up a privet honey hole I got and iced 70 gills by dark. Took home 35. Ice was sketchy when we got on and much better when we walked off. Had to bust or tip ups out with the spud and they are the ones that cover the hole. Ice had to build 1/2" in the 3.5 hrs we fished there. Busted threw at shore and walked on same spot when we left! Now thats cold. After tomorrow most ice should be good

General Discussion / let it rain
« on: January 05, 2014, 07:51:40 PM »
Let it rain I say. Looks like most this precept will be rain not snow. Temps above freezing till late tonight. Followed by the deep freeze, might be just what we need.

My findings have been weird. Both lakes I checked on Friday were junk and not safe to even stand on.  ( Berea, Hinkley) Yestetday went down to a lake erie marina I get a dock at just for November and Decembers night bite, thinking I would just drill off the docks. Well to my surprise,  I was standing on it in some spots. Ice was up to 6" at spots. I beleive the wind kept it clean of snow and that is why. Could not go everywhere but after mon and tues, I plan to really explore down there. Fishing was super slow but I think I can figure it out. First time fishing inside there.  If we dont get good ice on our waters after this next week........Im going to be upset. Im off this week and plan on hitting the ice hard. Spending time with the wife today so she can work all week, and I can play all week:-)

Head biologist of metroparks is doing a icefishing basics on wallace lake today at 1:30 and 3:30. It is only 10 min from home so I think Im going to go help out. It would be a great chance to explain the importance of ice saftey and just how this kind of ice can be so  dangerous. I have all my gear loaded. Heard 2 guys were standing on it yesterday and after I would not go on it the day before, I know that ice is sketchy. Doing a proper ice check with rope, flotation, spud,ice pics and all,  could really do some good for new people without the proper respect for frozen water they are walking on. Also I know the guy has no electronics and thought my vex may be cool to show people n the kids. May help spark the intrest. Spread the sickness.

Hope to post some reports this week and I may even figure out how to post pics.  maybe meet some folks on here.
