Sorry I haven't added any ice fishing reports. My father is in Hospice in Maumee, so I haven't had any time to keep up with it.

Deep freeze weather has the ice fishing on strong. Lots of good ice off the NW corner of South Bass Island, and as someone already stated there are a lot of shanties and tents out there between Green Island and Rattlesnake Island. Just like open water fishing, all depends on the day. Buddy of mine was up there 10 days ago and did well, I think 24 walleye and some yellow perch for two guys for a few days of ice fishing. I think he's going back, may be there now.

Web cam shows folks out ice fishing off Catawba State Park area. Saw a snowmobile go by. Looks like it should be good through the weekend. Haven't looked at the forecast after that.

East Harbor should be going strong too, as well as all the ponds and lakes.

Get out and enjoy if you can. A good experience to get to the Lake and just see the ice, drive around a little. You don't have to go ice fishing. Walk out a hundred yards at Catawba State Park, just to say you've been out on the ice (follow the traveled paths - don't go where nobody has gone!). I know a lot of you don't like winter, but Lake Erie has some fun and adventure to offer in the winter too.
