Thanks for your report. hopefully the bad areas will lock up with safe ice soon. Just hope this next thaw doesn't ruin it any further.

I think i've seen those guys before.:) There are a lot of them out there as a lot of you know. I'm sure we all have a story or two about "green horns" on the ice.
I know I have warned a lot of guys over the years about thin ice spots on the lakes. Some heeded the warning some took there chances. The one I recall the most was a guy taking his daughter about 10 out to fish the road bed at Piedmont. I was on about 4" of ice in the bay. the main lake was open the day before and skimed over with about an inch of snow. He didn't even have a spud. He thanked me and went back. Hate to think what might have happened if I wasn't there that day. Be safe guys !!!!!

Pymatuning Lake / Re: 1st trip
« on: February 09, 2015, 03:44:03 PM »
If you don't know Pymatuning to well I'd pick mosquito. A little easier seeing where guys fish. Not sure on license. Fished pymi few years ago parked on Pa side and didn't have any issues. Did meet a hostile type on the ice (from Pa) that tried to scare me off by saying I'd get fined if I had fish on Pa ground when I left the ice. I called odnar and was told at that time what I was doing was fine. Might want to check it out though.Good luck, either place has some good fishing.

Lake Erie / Re: Camp perry
« on: January 24, 2015, 06:16:34 PM »
good to here from you icetester. the bite is slow right now. Day break and just before dark is your best bet. really spotty the rest of the day. Doesn't mean they won't turn on at any time. You know how that goes. They were doing real well out of Catawba about a week ago. Quite a few guys getting quick limits.All about timing I guess. Something I have to get better at. Got a couple guys out today & tomorrow, will let you know how they do. Good luck and be safe. Ernie

Fished  Fri 23rd about 3mi out. didn't catch anything but ice was good (8" or so). Reports were some guys did OK depending on where you stopped. Most agreed a very slow bite. A lot of lookers. There were a lot of guys that walked out a mile or so but I don't know if they did any good. Most of the guys were out farther.

If they're not to bad try soaking them in a little antifreeze then wash with soapy water & rinse. An old tooth brush will help loosen surface rust.

General Discussion / Re: auger blades
« on: March 13, 2014, 08:04:28 PM »
Also have Eskimo Mako 43. Hit dirty ice after about 6 or 8 holes & that did the blades in. Took my knife stone and polished them back up with good results. Have drilled at least 20 holes at Erie where the ice was 17-18". Still cutting fine the last time out, which by the way was my last time out for this season.:)  P.S. Doesn't take much "dirt" to dull your blades; also don't force the auger, too much pressure will take the edge off the blades. The weight of the auger should be enough to cut the ice if your blades are sharp.

Lake Erie / Crane thurs 6th
« on: March 07, 2014, 09:44:43 AM »
Fished from 28 fow to 20 fow several moves didn't mark a fish. Talked to several other groups with same story. A ton of guys out so I'm sure there will be some good repots. I just couldn't land on them  I stay away from main packs . Maybe some of those groups were on some fish.  Ice was still 18" with 12+ good clear ice. No cracks were open. Some snow in patches but nothing to hinder travel. I think the stiff E NE wind kept everything locked up. Just keep an eye on wind speed and direction. This will affect the cracks. :)
