Im hoping to come up from northern Ky this weekend.Anyone know how the ice is looking.I would love love to come up and do some perch fishing.I made it up up there a few times with the boat in the fall and did very well.We dont have those delicious critters down here.If Findlay isnt decent does anyone know how the lakes in Lima are looking? Ice in northern Ky is only 3 inches.Everytime it gets decent we have a day or two of 40 degrees and rain to screw it up.Any info would be appreciated.

The crappie bite at rocky fork is on fire right now but the ice questionable at best.All I can say is go deep.20-30 feet right on the bottom.Charturuse an hot pink plastics have been working well.When the ice has been weak I have been fishing of the docks at the marina.there are 6 or 7 of them so there is plenty of room for all.I plan on making the 75 journey again on Sunday and I will give an update when I have one.Good fishin' to all and be safe safe on the ice.

Ill try to give an update tonight.I hope to be there around noon.If anyone is heading out that way give me a call.  859-640-0626

My son and I limited out on trout but that was about it.One dink bluegill in 5 hours other than that.We started out around 200 feet out on the ice for about 30 minutes then decided it would just be best to drill some holes off of the dock and fish off of it.The ice is a good 6 inches but extremely weathered and in rather poor condition.It was making ice like crazy but the exixting ice is very honeycombed and has stress cracks in it every couple of feet.A couple of times we took some steps in a different direction from where we were standing and we watched new cracks form under our feet.Makes you a little nervous when your out with your 14 old boy.Hopefully by later in the week there will be enough new ice to head back out on the lake again.The good part about it was that we had the entire lake to ourselves for most of the day!

Fished today from 1-6 not much action compared to last week.the bluegill bite was completly OFF!!! 1 little dink in 5 hours.I caught 1 trout lost 3 at the hole and had 4  more of them break me off at the hole.I donated a lot of ice jigs today.8 to be exact!!I hope there is still some good ice next weekend.The warming trend looks to be short lived.The ice varied from6-9 inches today in a relatively small area.Anyone go out early today?

Im hoping to come up from northern KY on thursday to Lima lake. Is the ice still solid.I was up there twice last week and did very well.I caught about fifty bluegill both times and limited out on some very nice trout both times (14-16 inches).I also caught a couple of decent perch.I can use Indian as plan B if neccecary but in 3 trips there this year I have caught a total of 12 bluegill and none were keepers.Ice is almost gone down here but I still have a major itch for the hardwater.Any help of info would be greatly appreciated before I make a needless 150 mile drive.

          Thanks for any help
