Ice Fishing Western basin

Agree with Juls.If going ice fishing go with a guide off south bass island.They get the first and sometimes only safe ice to fish off of.I have only ice fished twice and it was with a guide off south bass.It was quite the adventure.Some people spend the night on the island and fish a couple days too.

I have been on Erie icing since 1995. With the same (now retired guide) for over 20 yrs. I learn so much about ice on Erie. Juls was right , going off the main land is very iffy even with the lake frozen. went off 3 times since I started in 1994. I would fly go over to PIB , found a " Good "guide' since I lost my old one, like everything some aren't very good. I could list why but not right now. ( especially when you had the best) lately housing is getting limit and only one place to eat.,the lat 3 yrs. Bring your wallet. if off main land bring your will. FYI: you can fine air boats off the main land but you will be bucket fishing

I guess I can wait for spring and take them jig fishing, seems a little safer
