I went about 8 times last year on Erie and pray that we get another season even somewhat close to last years.

I realize that not everyone is comfortable with sharing information, but that is generally what this forum is for. While we do not want to publicly announce our GPS coordinates for the world and non-contributors to see here, I would be happy to share any ice fishing reports and even real time info during the ice fishing season with members and contributors to this site.
The ice is big and plenty of room. Tent "cities" pop up all over. However, it is difficult to move three or four times on ice compared to wet water.
Last year I ran into a group on the ice that where communicating via radios. It was a guy and his son and a few friends. He came over and told me what channel he was on, and asked how we where doing. He then said if we found fish he would appreciate any help... I thought to myself, "I'm sure you would." Then he told me that his son was a mile South of us in 20 FOW. We where in about 30'. He had the rest of the group spread out about a mile or so in each direction from where he was. He set up probably 300 yards or better from us. When they all caught fish or had any action they would share, and then the ones who didn't catch moved and tried another spot. They did this until they found a good honey hole. He asked me a few times how we where doing and I obliged and told him. We had a decent day, and we went home.
Then next day we where by ourselves again, and he called me on the radio to see if we where out again. This time I was happy to share our location and how we where doing. He told us where they were (in relation to the previous day) and that they had found a spot. He gave us the location. I found out later that they create a really good network on the ice of a dozen or so guys and they communicate to quickly find the fish. If everyone moved once then there where a couple dozen locations tested by mid morning.
I didn't get back up to fish again last year. If I had, I would have found him, or someone in his network.
I realize that this might seem like common sense, but it still took some coordination. I'd love to be able to have a way for us all to contact each other and share info for those of us that are willing to share on the ice.

Matt, were they using handheld marine radios, or some other type of radio.
Thanks Pat

In ya'll's opinion what are a good set of dates to use as a rough estimate of the ice fishing season? Is Jan 15th - March 15th reasonable??

Matt; very interested in your " hypotheical" place to say. I been fishing Erie since 1984 on the ice. I ice fished 72 days last winter all over. Last 3 days on Erie 12 fish 98 lbs. I will be up next week for some bank fishing ( lakeside. catawba, sandusky bay, huron lighthouse, etc.) What about parking space at Lakeside with truck and trailer?
