January 3. 2018 Ice Conditions on Presque Isle Bay in Erie Pennsylvania

The ice on Presque Isle Bay is getting thick enough to fish and one brave soul ventured out today at the foot of Chestnut.  The following video was shot at the Liberty Docks and shows cloudy but well covered ice.  I would give it two days.  By January 5th it should be good but use caution and test thickness.

Presque Isle Bay Solid and Ready for Ice Fisherman

Cold weather has really improved the ice conditions over the past week.  Remember, ice is never really safe; however, most of Presque Isle Bay can now support ice fisherman.  Today, fisherman ventured into the deeper waters off of the foot of Chestnut Street.  Fisherman were also spread out and were fishing popular spots like Misery Bay which is usually really good fishing early season.

A good number of big lake perch are being caught in all areas with some steelhead also being caught.  The weather is looking to be cold the next few days so the ice should even improve.  Good luck fishing!
