I even started bending the barbs down on my hooks to cause less damage to the fish.

Back in the early 80's I would have never thought that people would need to be concerned about over-fishing for bluegill and threatening the population.  After getting out I now see why there needs to be a concentration on conservation efforts.

I saw two shanties over by the District 3 office yesterday afternoon.

Sounds great! Hopefully I won't fall through the ice if I make it out this weekend. I'll be the fat guy with the beard, who is also not Santa.

If anyone happens to need someone to go out on the ice with please don't hesitate to get ahold of me. I live right by 619/Manchester Rd. I have weekends free as well as evenings during the week... if you like to go night fishing I am also interested. As much advance notice as possible is appreciated but the way things have been recently I could also head out on short notice. Of course I would be interested in other lakes as well, I just listed the ones close to where I live.
My primary interest is panfish and other edible fish.
This will be my first winter ice fishing, bait/lure recommendations would also be appreciated. I have a couple buckshot spoons, Lindy darters, some KJB Plastics lures, and a few run-of-the-mill standard ice fishing spoons.
Thanks for reading.

I live in the Portage Lakes area, I never work weekends and get home from work around 4:00pm. I am definitely open to fishing after dark as well.
This would be my first winter ice fishing, I have pretty much all of the basic gear (hand auger, spud, ice picks, rods, skimmer) and only need a couple other basic things such as a small sled to get started.
Feel free to send me a pm... as well as anyone else reading this who lives in the area and is looking for a fishing partner.

I caught one 10" crappie at Portage Lakes State Park right before Christmas after standing in the wind and drizzle for an hour and a half. It was his lucky day, I let him go because I was cold and wet and didn't feel like standing out there any more even though the fish were just starting to bite.

Stopped at Mark's today for the first time. Super friendly and very helpful!!! I bought a spud bar, ice picks, two rod/reel combos, jawjacker, string, skimmer, hand auger, and a few other odds and ends. Next on my list will be some good boots and cleats.
For some reason it was picking up that 20lb (or so) spud bar that got me really excited.

This is killing me  Next week I'll be taking the gills I have in the freezer down to Tennessee to give to my folks. I need to replenish the supply.

True. Maybe I'll stop and talk to some folks next time I'm through that way. I had thought of asking at the tavern since they have a dock. There was an apartment right on the water that I had been hoping would open up for rent at some convenient time.

Does anyone have a guest pass to fish there? Just curious to see how the reaction would be if someone were to politely and eloquently request permission. I drive through there constantly and have to resist the temptation to park by the tavern and toss a line in. There is also that gravel pit nearby as well.
Hopefully it wouldn't be like this:

Thanks everyone!!! I will be around and will definitely be in touch. Now my upcoming trip to Florida during the first week of February might be a bit of a challenge.
It's hard to believe that December is right around the corner, I'll start looking into gathering the necessary gear soon.

Greetings from a life-long Ohio resident. I have never been ice fishing before, but I would like to try it out this winter. I live in the Portage Lakes area, and I work in Streetsboro right by that private lake near the Frost Rd/480 ramp that I see shanties on every winter.
When the ice is safe enough I certainly wouldn't mind crossing paths with some experienced folks who know what they're doing. I'm easy to get along with, don't complain much, have the ability to listen/learn, can tolerate being out in the cold with the proper gear, and I can guarantee that I possess and i.q. of at least 90-95.
I have a definite interest in panfish for the good eating, but other species as well. Obviously I have an interest in Portage Lakes/Nimisila as well as wanting to obtain permission on that lake in Streetsboro. I'm interested in just about any spot in the state where the fishing is good and it's safe to eat what you catch.
I have a basic idea of what I need to get such as an auger, jigging pole, tip-ups, etc... And of course gear to stay warm.
Just wanted to give a quick introduction, thanks for reading.
