Greetings from a life-long Ohio resident. I have never been ice fishing before, but I would like to try it out this winter. I live in the Portage Lakes area, and I work in Streetsboro right by that private lake near the Frost Rd/480 ramp that I see shanties on every winter.
When the ice is safe enough I certainly wouldn't mind crossing paths with some experienced folks who know what they're doing. I'm easy to get along with, don't complain much, have the ability to listen/learn, can tolerate being out in the cold with the proper gear, and I can guarantee that I possess and i.q. of at least 90-95.
I have a definite interest in panfish for the good eating, but other species as well. Obviously I have an interest in Portage Lakes/Nimisila as well as wanting to obtain permission on that lake in Streetsboro. I'm interested in just about any spot in the state where the fishing is good and it's safe to eat what you catch.
I have a basic idea of what I need to get such as an auger, jigging pole, tip-ups, etc... And of course gear to stay warm.
Just wanted to give a quick introduction, thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone!!! I will be around and will definitely be in touch. Now my upcoming trip to Florida during the first week of February might be a bit of a challenge.
It's hard to believe that December is right around the corner, I'll start looking into gathering the necessary gear soon.
