ICE Report

I just drove the shoreline of the western basin of Lake Erie today. About two dozen boats are in just west of the Davis Besse cooling tower. I saw 4 boats on the lake North of the Tussaint river. From Camp Perry east towards Catawba Island there is alot of ice. Port Clinton and the Portage river are completely iced in. The ice goes out about 1/2 mile. Scattered ice north of Catawba and east of Catawba. I did see 4 trailers at the Mazziricks access ramp. I talked to one fisherman who was retrieving his boat. He fished for less than 2 hours and had his limit of 4 eyes. He said he threw back 2 big females that were close to 9-10 lbs. each. Some small ice was around the ramps. About 30 feet of shore ice was east of the ramps towards Marblehead. The Sandusky Bay and channel are clear of all ice.
