Celery Farm

this seems to be the most productive spot on shenango so far. I was out again today a little later than i would have liked 9:45 am but still caught some crappie, bluegill, perch and a couple of nice white bass. the warm weather/rain actually helped by melting the snow and adding about 3 more inches of white ice. 6-8 inches total. i have caught fish every time out and there have been a steady number of guys with today being the most ive seen.

I was at golden run. There was 2 feet of open water on the shore line by the boat launch. 

I don't know what way your heading,from the south on 18 go over the causway,and turn left,go past propagation area,you'll see where people park,you'll walk over railroad tracks an on to the lake,Celery Farm

How much black ice is there right now?
Are the guys using a plank to get on the lake at this point?
Directions above are correct. Good discription.
 

Thanks for the report. Planning on heading down in the morning w/ a buddy to check it out. Will be my first time to this lake and hopefully we can get out there. As I said, the cabin fever is setting in, so it will be  great to get out. I'll let you all know how it goes.

went off the swim beach yesterday bunch of guys but that was the end of the ice for now. only 4 inches total most of it bad and was melting and with the rain today forget it. caught a bunch of small whitebass and a couple gills, hopefully be fishing again by next weekend.

went to celery farm today caught 6 got real wet

gill pill went to the farm today just to check ice lots of cracks on shore going to give it a try tommorrow 

rjt - i dont think that would be in your best intrest. the ice has got to be bad. its rained 2 days in a row and before the rain there was only 4 inches total and less than half was good clear ice.

They both serve the same purpose and are both very accurate.  You are really just looking at feature differences more than anything.  I own a Vexilar and would have a hard time living without it on the ice.  A friend of mine has a Humminbird and really likes it.  When I purchased, I was comparing price, durability and features (price not necessarily being the most important factor)..Vexilar was my choice.  If you plan to fish shallow waters (Shenango, Wilhelm, etc.), my opinion is to not worry about any of the zoom and split screen options that increase the flasher cost and use difficulty.  I am confident I have doubled or even tripled my success through the ice (and even on the boat) with the flasher.

thanks rdall just bought a hummingbird 45 and was hopeing i didnt make a mistake  

anyone goin out tomarrow??? its been pretty cold i hope the edges froze up a bit.
