CLEVELAND, Ohio Some of the ponds and small lakes are covered with ice now, but beware when heading out on the frozen surface to catch bluegills or yellow perch.
If you’re thinking of testing the Lake Erie ice west of Catawba Island, as a few were doing on Thursday, think again. From all reports, that ice is too thin, very unstable, and will be battered by southwest gale winds up to 35 knots Friday, and westerly gale winds on Saturday.

In last week s column we talked about the release of rainbow trout in the big pond at Lamar Dixon. The trout were purchased by the Ascension Parish government and stocked for the benefit of folks to be able to enjoy some time with family and kids to get a chance to catch a few fish that you’d have to travel a long way to find them.
So on Monday, the 21st, Goosie and I met at the big pond to film an episode for Ascension Outdoors TV that will air on EATEL channel 4 or 704 during the month of January. We arrived at 10:00 am to meet with our videographer, Trevor Vampran and got things underway.
