I've been to Camp Perry before, where do you guys park and enter the ice after you drive in the main entrance?
we park on the beach, but there is a couple of parking lots in back, they treat everyone great, as long as people don't trash the place or other things. please don't ruin a good thing.
Understandable Wayne, is the route out fairly smooth at this point, cracks to cross? I just don't want to risk loosing my gear/sled, besides Capt. Mike, have others been going out successfully?
Lots of guys out at Catawba and some at Camp Perry . The ice is in very good condition at both places.This weekend will be a mad house at both places , so get there early. The 911 crack is always there however . Take extra gas and make sure your machine is full when heading out . If and when the cracks open , there are always options to ride east or west to find a place to cross . A few years back when the ice blew apart at Crane Creek , most of the guys standing there waiting to be rescued were out of towners . The locals rode east and had no problem getting back in on their own at all . Common sense is the rule on Erie during any season .

have to agree with dale, ice is in good shape, just be safe, it is smooth sailing, guys are moving around looking for fish, so far not like last year, fish are soft mouthing the baits, and not the huge females yet, its early.
