Title: Sandusky Bay
Post by: ledhed on January 03, 2011, 08:47:48 PM

I've been fishin the bay alot since 12/18.The ice off Whites Landing is 5-6" where it was 12-14" last week.The springs are wide open again so use extreme caution and your spud bar.Did pretty good on perch today well away from the springs,4' of water.

Fished again for 3 hours and only had four keepers for my effort.The current was going out today and the water was very milky where I was.One word of caution,Whites Landing is no place for first timers or new icefishermen,with the current ice conditions.There are thin spots and open holes around the springs.I saw a guy walk next to a spring whithout a spud this morning.I spudded the same area yesterday and went through with two wacks,about 2"of ice.The ice is getting eaten away from the bottom by current and the springs.The first two springs are open and the third is covered by a very thin layer of ice.Very spooky in spots,be careful and use a spud.

Thanks for the updates, I was fishing it and doing well before the warm temps. Hopefully she seals back up this week?

Fished again today 8-2pm.fishing was very slow.Only 6 keepers.The springs continue to open up,even some of the smaller ones.Be very careful around the first spring.I've got the first spring marked on my gps and it said it was 40' away from where I was standing,which was open water yesterday.Caught bullheads on the second spring so I moved to the third and only caught 2 perch.
