Ok, looking for advice here. Never ice fished buckeye,  but really wanna try it this year. Just maybe a few tips on where to start, a decent place to catch some slab crappie and or saugeye not looking for anyone's " secret spot" lol. Just some places to have some fun catching. Any help would be awesome , thanks

Fairfield Beach is where to go tiggy2. 

[real deal]

Tiggy2 you will find some guys on here wont help u find where to go. Its a big lake and its full of fish. A few of the guys even say they wont tell u because their ice fishing guides, andddd there not. I murder the saugeye out there, head to fairfield beach and go out across the lake and fish next to the marsh island. 7 to 10 ft of water, tip ups and bass minnow work great. Jigs with bass minnow and vibes work good also. For gills head into the shallow coves, i catch em in 2 to 4 ft of water on wax worms. Good luck!

You are absolutely right man.  One specific guy I ice fished with several seasons gave me that same story last season.  The past few years have been spotty for me as far as ice time goes so I hadn't been out like I was 5 years ago due to 2 new youngsters.  This guy who is a "pro staffer" here said he would guide me but not just fish with me.  I know what I'm doing but haven't spent a lot of time on the lakes lately and like the company on the ice.  Oh well, it's just fishing man no big deal.  Sometimes friendships you make fishing can last other times acquaintances are just that.

Tight lines and stay safe!

The only area I have fished at Buckeye is Fairfield Beach. Walk out past the island and start drilling holes and checking depths and for fish. I usually try and fish the deeper water, 10 - 13 feet, during the afternoon then move shallower toward sunset. I use Acme Phoebes, vibes and # 2 or #3 jigging rapalas tiped with minnows or minnow heads. The times I have been there, quite a few people were out there so it is easier to figure where to fish.

People are always skiddish when it comes to meeting new personality on a website to all who are new don't take it personally best advice 90% of guys on ice are good folks be courteous n ask if you feel unshure of things and odds are the next cool guy you meet on the ice is on Ifo as for the ice guides senerario who cares to each their own buckeye is a great place to trek off on your own n find fish

Hey with that being said nobody likes to pay a guide even one you know watch the post guys will share a lot n you'll catch up anything u missed
