Chestnut on the town side,Niagara on the bay side. 20-22' fow minnows and jigs and grubs. Fish are running 10"-12" keepers to me. A lot of throw backs. A couple 13"-14.5" fish every trip. Should be better in late February or March. Hope it helps. I'm heading back up of Thursday or Friday. I avoid weekends.

The famous Gull lake. Two years ago I won a free ticket to that event but I didn't go unfortunately.

Congrats on enjoyin the ice WCW, enjoyed your report.
Last night at Wilhelm was stellar. Nothing caught worth bringing home but, just the piece and tranquility watching the sun set. The night before, the ice was shivering and readjusting as the OAT dropped back to the teens following a full day of sun. Moaning and popping, making for a symphony, on the ice.
Last night was entirely different, not a breeze as the ice layed still and so very quiet, I thought I could hear ha haa's and conversations, while ice fishing with old buddies of days gone by.
Weather sure ain't looking good after today, here my little piece of The Pennsylvania Wilds. Won't be long before we will be 'walking the plank' to get on the ice.
Good times and tight lines.

I'm sorry, but the party to whom you wish to speak is not available at this time. Don't hang up, your call will be taken in the order it was received. Just as soon as I get back from fishin.
To all: Happy Valentines Day and Ash Wednesday.

Son and I fished half day on Monday (29) keepers, stayed the night fish Tuesday 7:30 -4:00 ended up with 52. Moved several time on Wednesday. Fish where nothing special mostly 10"-11" fish with a few jumbo 's. Caught fish deep and shallow in the weedbeds. Emeralds and jigs and grubs worked. Had a couple break offs. With then rain and warm temps,I'm pretty much done. Freezer is getting really full this winter. Happy to stay on top another year (57) First year for a float suit and hope to never need it. Be careful last ice causes the most accidents. Looks great in the morning but not so great at 5:00 pm ice conditions change rapidly with high temps and sun or heavy rain. Stay on top guys. In a few weeks will be catching them out of the boat.

Thanks WCW.
BT would of liked to have hooked up with ya on the ice at Erie but it looks like that might have to be next year. In the mean time I'll be lookin for ya on the water this coming Spring.
Made Wilhelm this afternoon and what a diiference from yesterday to this afternoon with the ice surface. Past two days ya definitely needed cleats or ice skates to get around. Today that mirror shine turned soft ice gray with puddles of water growing larger as the day wore on. Still 8 to 10" of solid clear ice to bore through but the incoming weather is gonna make that ice difficult to get to.
Tight lines.

'Tis days before ice out, when all over the lake Not a angler was stirring not even the stupid fish; The auger now hangs by the shanty with care, As I hope open water will soon be here; The ice rods are nestled all snug in the shed; While visions of Walleye dance in my head; The Smitty Sled in the rafters, and I don't give a crap, As I settle my brains for my afternoon nap. Won't say if the ice fishing is toast for the rest of the season, I'm sure somewhere sometime some die-hard will be walking the plank, getting on the ice right up to the very last minute. I recall stepping right up to and fishing wide cracks through the ice, in days gone by. Sure was a stellar year for ice fishing, condition wise in my little piece of the Pennsylvania Wilds this year, but I'm hanging it up in hopes of playing still another day. WCW I would look forward to making your acquaintance, and fishing the bay
