I would suggest getting bait at magee east. It is located about 2 miles east of the wildlife area aka crane creek. It is on the north side n kind off the road but keep you eyes open n u will see it lit up. Eric and crew are outstanding people there. Open at 5:30 am.
I was told the 911 crack half mile out of catawaba is going to crap today by a friend who crossed it. Quad went half in there today also. Haven't heard first hand on crane creek today. Warm up, rain, high off shore winds coming in next few days. You guys may want to reschedule! !! Hate to say it. You may find yourselves spending the night on west sister :-( seriously. most the local pros are taking a pass on this weekend for a reason. Next week looks cold again. Don't let me tell you but I live 45 min away with a sled to use and a terrible walleye fever and I'm staying home. Just sayin. lake Erie is a different animal than any other ice fishing. Just ask the hundreds that needed rescue in 09.
