Just got back from the lake. I fished in the bay back by the campground. The ice was 5 -7 inchs. I fished from 10 am until 1 pm and caught 35 bluegill with 26 of them being nice keepers. A few of them were some really nice redears. Also I drove by the C-6 lot/ launchramp and there was ice but I dont advise going out there as it was wide open water Tuesday last week. I will be going to Portage Lakes Old State Park this evening for crappie and back to Nimisila in the morning if anyone wants to go.

I fished from 9 am to 2 pm and between my dad and I we caught more fish then I wanted to count. We were back in the campground again today fishing in 8 ft. of water. The hot colors seem to be orange and chartruse. I stopped by the C-6 lot and the small bay has 5 inch's on it but at the mouth of the bay the ice drops to 1 inch real quick. Ill be meeting my dad up there around 8 am tomorrow if anyone wants to go out just let me know.
-
I went out this morning from 8 am until noon. I started back in the campground and only caught a dozen gills and 1 really nice perch. I then moved over to the c-6/ launch ramp and only caught a few small gills. If you go to the c-6 please be very careful. Just past the mouth of the bay it goes from 5 inch's to 1 inch real quick.

I actually had to do some work today so I was only able to fish from 12 to 2pm. I fished back in the campground. I caught about 20 bluegill and almost all of them were dinks. The was 6 inchs where I was. I will be out there early tomorrow if anyone wants to go.
-
Fished back in the campground today. The ice was 6 inch's where I was. Over by the c-6 lot the ice is not safe as it is starting to open back up. I caught about 15 keeper bluegill and 1 crappie.
-
I got to fish today with my wife. We caught about 40 bluegill and 1 nice crappie. The ice was 5 inchs. Lots of slush and water on the ice. If you go just be careful.
-
Thanks for all the reports, sounds like I need to check it out. I havent had shit for luck at Indian this year.
-
I know that Indian is about 3 hrs from me and the fishing isn't that great here for me to drive that far. We have been having a better season then the last several have been though. If you do want to come out some time let me know and I can show you a few decent spots that we have found.
-
where abouts are you from Lima?
-
Im in Canal Fulton. Its about 20 min south of Akron. I think you are about 2 1/2 hrs from me.
-
I made it out for a couple hours before it started raining. The fishing was lousy. I only got 6 gills and 1 perch after throwing everything in my box at them. The ice was about 6 inchs back by the campground. All the snow and most of the slush had froze up over night but the rain isnt helping out much now.
-
I caught a dozen nice gills and crappie this morning. It was really slow compared to what we were doing last week. the ice was 6 inch's back by the campground. I might go to Old State Park or Mogadore this evening if anybody is interested
-
I fished for 3 hrs and all I caught was 1 golden shiner. All the fish would bump and run or I should say the 3 nibbles were bump and run. The ice was 5-6 inchs of good ice and another 2 of gray ice. I will be back tomorrow morning to try it again.
-
I fished back by the campground again today. The ice was really cracking and popping this morning. the ice was 6-7 in the middle of the bay but gets thinner as you get closer to the main lake. I stopped drilling at the small island where it was 2 inch of clear and 2 inch of gray ice. I did a little better then yesterday with 2 redears over 10 inch but the rest mainly 4 to 7 inch.
-
Fished back in the campground today. The ice varied from 4 to 7 1/2 inch's. The shorelines are starting to melt so be carefully coming on and off the ice. Caught about 40 gills and perch but few keepers.
-
Stopped by to check out the ice today. Over by the c-6 launch ramp has all reopened. Back in the campground it looked like someone had been out but I took 1 step on the ice and went thru. I'm going to give it until Friday or Saturday then Ill start fishing again.
-
Fished back in the campgrounds. I was only able to fish from 330 to 430 and got 10 dink gills. Ill be back in the morning and hoping to do better. The ice was 5 inchs of good ice
-
YES!! Finally. Hope to be out later this week, maybe see you out there.
-
Let me know if you want to go. I fished yesterday and it was kinda slow but we got about 20 gills a few crappie and a nice bass. We cooked them up tonite and they were tasty.
-
I havent been able to make it out. Has any body else been out? How have they been biting?
-
Lots of guys at C-5 (Campground Bay). Ice is 6"
Some starting to venture out to other mid-lake areas.
-
I may try and get out there Wednesday afternoon. I have a Dr. appointment in the AM and some errands to run, but my afternoon is free and easy.
I'll be hitting the campground bay, otherwise known as "Haynes Bay".
