Camp Perry Reports

[jiginitis69]

Our base camp was taken down yesterday. It was 5.2 out of Catawba & 6.2 out of Camp Perry. Buddy says ice is sketchey last 2 milkes north to camp. Be careful. He also said 4 ATV's were digging out within 200 yards of shore, but what were they thinking. 13" of snow says snowmobiles only for a few days.

Not trying to scare anyone off. Ice is good to west off Catawba and should be good to 4 mile mark off Camp Perry.

They did stop & fish in 23 FOW and got 5 between 2 guys in 1 hour.

Good Luck & Good Fishing

Thanks Jig, this Lucky (hunted in your home deer stand few years back). Last Saturday when crossing a 12" crack with 4 wheeler, the ice broke off (? 3' x 6') right behind the machine. Everything turned out okay but in examining the edge of the ice it may have only been 4" thick. Scared me pretty good.......let me know if you go out Friday, would like to know ice conditions report - plan is to fish Saturday. South wind Saturday but not high. Good luck, always enjoy your reports. Lucky

Planning to fish out of Camp Perry Sunday through Tuesday. 4 guys in our group heading out with a quad and a Rhino. The guys with the Rhino are anxious about the thickness of the ice. How thick is it out there? Any info on ice/snow conditions is greatly appreciated!

Some thoughts: With all the snow and slush likely on the ice, I'd suggest talking to somebody in regards to difficulty of such 4 wheelers to drive out there now. Definitely choose snowmobiles if that is an option.

Also, I for one am not returning to fish there this weekend because of poor ice conditions (my personal feeling along with at least a few other fishermen).

Good luck, stay safe.
