My point was about new ice and snow covered, Steve thats all.
YUP The guy was even walking a path made by others,and still went in. Lucky his freinds were close by.

When I was scouting lakes north of here just before the new year,I went to Airport rd to see if there was guys out. It was first ice,lots of snow and slush for the most of it. They were all the way over by the island. I said ,well you know. That was just crazy. I even talked to some locals that fish the area and said,NO WAY.
I,ll be heading here.

If I told the mrs,s I was going to the boat show,well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Were those fish bonked or throut slit before they were left lying around.
Atleast your getting out Blair. Even at that thickness,soft ice is just that.
Take care out there bud.
True enough Wayne. I am one that will venture out on ice that many may not.
A good example is 3 years ago at IBP. Guys walking everywhere. One wrong step,and they were going in. Inconsitant ice . Ya me along with others you know were out there.
IMO Yesterday was not the day to be out. That had to be a given to any ice angler.
Oh the days of the last weekend out on Long Shoal,,catching some great sun rays,cooking some whitie fillets then placed on a fresh bun with tater sauce. Thats been a long time waiting.
