Post by: catfishdude84 on January 28, 2014, 10:00:05 AM
was thinking about hitting Lake Erie to try my hand at ice fishing, any suggestions as where to go? will most likely be on foot with my partner. he suggested sandusky bay. how thick is the ice? is it safe to go out right now?

thanks for the info. i was wanting to head out into the main lake, but iv heard everybody has been going out a mile or so from catawba, and ill be on foot not on a quad lol. i can settle for some perch lol they are just as good if not better tasting that walleye in my opinion.
