Beautiful looking day on the Lake. Snow covered ice and blue skies, no wind and 17 degrees.
One guy out off Catawba and the small shanty towns north and west of South Bass Island.
Ice fishing is on, so post your reports or info!

Yes it would be nice to hear from people how is ice condition and how fishing going.
If you saw a grey shanty yesterday to the south of Rock ledge that was me about .25-.5 mile off 14 ft of water about 5-7 inches of clear good ice
So, how did it go, any fish on ice?
Just a couple of little shorts, no keepers
01/27/22 - Area webcams today don't show anyone out west of Catawba. Don't know if that's because they are north of the camera view or nobody went out because of the wind. Looks like twice as many people out off South Bass, little town of shanties and tent shelters between north of Green and south of Rattlesnake Islands. Satellite pic still shows some 'weak' strips and small spots of open water all around that area south west of South Bass and north west of Catawba. Almost all ice, but it still doesn't look as stable as you want it to be to prevent ice movement. Looks nice and "locked in" west and north of South Bass.
I seen no one out of catawba today but one airboat. That strong SW wind got some respect from all of us as it should.
There is a good size group off Catawba today, but looks like only out a half mile or less. West and north of South Bass continues to have a lot of fishing. Second hand report of some people out off Camp Perry. Weekend deep freeze again should improve conditions. Weekend looks good for access and ice. Now for some fishing catch reports...
Friend of mine and his son were out on East Harbor today. He fishes East Harbor most weekends in the summer as he loves panfish. He could not catch a fish today, and he said he talked to other fisherman around him today, and he did not see a fish caught!
Ice cutters are out. You can see the track in the satellite photo. Confirmed on Marine Traffic website.
