First, remembered no ice is safe place.
The whole region has been in pretty much the single digits or less for the last three weeks. This means the Maumee  River, all the local lake ponds , reservoirs , up to and including Lake Erie is Frozen solid.

As you can see if you take a passing glance through any fishing related site on the internet That there have been quite a bit of fish caught in all bodies of water.

Most of the smaller ponds and reservoirs have been producing pretty good.  We’ve been hearing about a few decent perch and walleye coming out of Lake Erie but nothing crazy yet.

We are stacked up on ice auger’s, fishing line, ice rods and reels much much more. Also we are pretty well stacked up for the walleye run this spring to include waders , rod reels, a ton of floating jig heads and tails.

Lots of live bait including wax worms, spikes, and working on a minnow resupply this morning.

Have fun, be safe and good luck fishing
