There were people out for 2-3 days prior to the warmup and rain.
The worst day hunting or fishing will always be better then the best day at school or work!

Was just at Conneaut lake to check conditions and fish if possible. On the south end I stepped off of one of the docks at Firemans beach and the ice gave way all around my foot-not good ice. North end about 1 and one half to 2 inches by the inlet out to 100yds- didn't want to push my luck any farther. Fished for about an hour - never seen a fish on my camera! did not get on by the fish comm. launch-bad ice. went on at the little park by the inlet.

Before I went out I knew who was out there by there vehicle and recognized his shanty. I also know that he outweighs me by at least 50lbs. (I weigh less than 150lbs.) I did not get too close to him or his brother (who also outweighs me by a good bit). Before I left another pair came out which was probably the other shanty FISHIN COYOTE Seen. I was probably there an hour and in that time only one bluegill was caught between the three of us. We were only in 4 to 4 1/2 ft. of water. The gills are there but in a little deeper water.

Checked this morning , nobody on the south end. Went to the north end and checked the ice we fished two days ago. Ice looked good but don't let that fool you- two easy pokes with a spud bar and it went right through. It seems the farther out you go the thinner it gets. Don't bet on it for this weekend!

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

So there is access at Firemans Beach area? Or at a space between the permanent docks?

Quite a few out on the south end today and a few on the north. The panfish bite wasn't there for us, but we caught a bunch of pike including a fat female. Ice was 5" everywhere we drilled.

FISHED PANFISH LAST 4 DAYS ON THE SOUTH END OF CONNEAUT . ABOUT 30 EACH OF THE FIRST 2 DAYS AND A LIMIT YESTERDAY AND TODAY (2/24 AND 2/25 ) ALL GILLS. VERY SLOW BITE BUT WORTH THE WAIT ( DIDN'T KEEP ANYTHING UNDER 8 1/2 IN. TODAY ). ICE WAS 4 1/2 IN. AND SOLID BUT DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT WILL LAST WITH THE THE UPCOMING RAIN AND WARM TEMPS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE BOYS HAVE BEEN SLAYING THE PIKE ! IN 4 DAYS ONLY SEEN ONE KEEPER PERCH AND ONE DECENT CRAPPIE.
