Ice is Good for Fishing Presque Isle Bay



Today I ventured out and scouted the popular ice fishing spots around the Erie PA area.  The past couple days have been cold with nights in the teens.  The ice on the bay really tightened up and is now fishable. 

Fisherman are heading out to the jumbo perch grounds off of the second and third parking lots.  Misery Bay also has quite a few fisherman.  Nobody is fishing the foot of Chestnut Street and one hut was seen way out off of the dock.  The ice looks a little shaky off of Chestnut.  The ice appears to be about 4.5 to 6 inches at the second parking lot and in Misery Bay.  After tonight it will even be thicker.  However, the next couple days are going to reach nearly 45 degrees.  The ice should be fine for a few days as long as it does not rain and get too windy.

Be careful while on the ice and good luck fishing!
