Weds Jan 20, 2021: Ice conditions are still extremely sketchy for inland lakes in NE Ohio. Very limited areas for ice fisherman to get on & drill some holes. Mogadore has had ok ice at the Ticknor Road Boat Launch & Parking Lot. All other areas of Moggy including Congress Lake Road (CLR) have not seen any ice action.
Hopefully the forecast bodes well for ice formation & footprints on our local lakes.

just seems odd congress lake rd usually freezes first, along with portage lakes at the old state park. im chatting right now with my bud about some other lake possibly by the week end ?
-
thanks for the update........ :) :) :)

Extremely odd year for inland lake ice formation. Can't get a finger on it. Mogadore at Congress Lake Rd is an example. It's usually one of the first places to drlll holes . Old State Park OSP is another example.
-
its lookin better . theres guys on wingfoot, moggy, ect... and a few others.... maybe this weekend folks....its new ice so tread with caution....
-
3 Negatives today caused a reversal in our ice formation:
WIND
RISING TEMPS
SUNSHINE.
Many lakes opened up again. Hopefully Friday & Saturdays colder temps prediction will get us back on track.
-
I'll be surprised if the ice is good for this Saturday. Reports indicate yesterday's afternoon warm front tore up what lil ice we had. Noticed alot more open water on Ladue & Rockwell. Figured similar conditions all over the area. The wind really ruined the thin ice areas.
I'll check the PLX ice Saturday afternoon in the hopes of getting on Sunday.
-
Thanks for your great reports and be safe out there all!!
-
Thank you guys!! Looking at the forecast I’m thinking by middle of next week we should have some fish able safe ice around. But I agree, this weekend will be sketchy at best.....
-
checkd a little lake today and it had maybe 2 inchs....was a little bummed because i thought we would be on ice sat..... but noooooo
-
3 guys on PLX/OSP Friday evening. I'm gonna poke around to see if there are decent spots for a Sunday morning trek & drill adventure somewhere within the PLX Chain.
-
I’m hoping for a Monday morning attempt. Am tied up Sunday, but will have Monday open! Thanks for keeping us informed!

A few guys on OSP/PLX
1 guy on Nimmy., BIG Bay north of Campground Bay
-
I was at mogadore today. New ramp had 4 to 4.5 inches was not the greatest ice but was not bad either. Probably caught 400 fish with 28 keepers. Constant pick but not large.
-
I have 4 inches on my pond. Caught 1 dink perch then................a 13 incher!
-
Nice Toad
-
Can anyone tell me what this is that my perch regurgitated after I caught her? I thought plastic worm, but it was hollow. About 4-5 inches long, soft, kinda rubbery. The fish was full of eggs, if that means anything. Thanks
-
I will try again with the picture. Not sure why it didn't post.
-
On 4” at Nimi. Nothing huge. But 6-8” gills, a few 6-8” perch, many dinks, a couple 9” crappie and I lost an 18” or so whiskered walleye at the hole! ;D
-
Tuesday morning 1/26. Mogadore - Ticknor Bay.
2 guys out from the boat ramp. Ice looks scary. Wet spots, gray areas & shoreline weakening.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!
-
Yeah, I’m waiting to try again till Thursday. All day Wednesday is supposed to be below freezing. Hopefully edges and any water on top will freeze up nicely.
-
Can't pass up a decent day of ice due to the crazy ice season. Gonna play hooky from work on Friday & drill some holes.
-
I'm going to try Saturday John. I'll let you know for certain if you want to join.
-
Don't think I'll be on the ice this Saturday. Our 2 grandkids are spending the weekend with us.

Nobody on the ice

Had a good 3 inches today at Nimi. I was the only guy for a while, and then around lunchtime there were about four or five others that showed up. Walked on at the south main boat ramp. Got a lot of bluegill, perch, and Crappie. Many small, but a lot of nice ones too. Got a fish Ohio Gill and crappie!
-
Thanks Slabslayer.
My favorite place on Nimi to get on ice is C1, but S. Main is my #2.
How deep were they hitting? Flats or close to "structure"? ;)
-
Both actually. Big gills were back in the bay by the pine trees, and I was getting the big Crappies in the main lake channel. They were just swimming through and would take it. Only a foot off the bottom in 21 feet. Plunge a spoon into the mud bring it up a foot, when a school would swim through and bam, a nice crappie!
-
I fished my pond yesterday for a few hours. Slow day, but caught a small bass and a crappie. Buddy is coming over tomorrow morning and we are going to fish most of the day. Used a beaded spoon for the first time, great action. In the darkened shanty, I could see the bottom at around 9 foot. I actually saw the crappie hit the spoon. Pretty clear water!
