Only 3 inches on my 1/2 acre pond, but it felt solid. Going to a larger lake today and see how thick it is.

I?m hoping to get out soon.   I?ve had several extended family needs arise plus an upcoming knee replacement for my dad next week and I?ve not been able to even check the ice.   Friday I?m going to check, but all the snow up north isn?t good.   Keep us posted how it is down there.   With no ice last couple years, I might make the run to Indian.   But keep hoping for Erie to freeze up decent!

I am in the Union county area and we have good ice. Caught fish in every hole Saturday, but then it died down. I had to move to find the fish. Caught 1 decent crappie plus smaller ones, small gills and several largemouths. Biggest bass was 12". Ice as of today is 4 inches, probably 5 on my pond.

I have been catching a lot of small crappies, gills, and bass the last 4 days. Hoping to get out on Wednesday. Ice is 7-8 inches thick, so we may get another week of fishing in.

Well my friends, I obviously didn't jinx the season by starting this thread. I've been getting out at different locations the last being New London Res. The ice was a solid 9 inches of hard black ice. Between 3 of us we didn't fair well at all. Maybe it's just a case of learning the lake. My best outings so far have been farm ponds. We're heading to Pymatuning next week for the very first time ever.  Does anyone know where a good point of entry would be? I'm not looking for anyone's spot ( I'll find them on my own) , just a parking lot to start out from.

I still have safe ice as off today, 2/9/25. Fishing has been slow with lots of nibbles from dink gills. Bait stealers mostly. I have been using the smallest tungsten jigs with 1/2 of a waxie and still don't get many hooksets. Crafty little rascals!
