anders Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 you just posted to rub it in didnt you...... That image should eliminate the last two graphics...I never did like seeing vehicles on ice, regardless of the thickness of the ice, should be illegal in my opinion.
crappieperchhunter Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 4+ is plenty. Just be safe. One year I went to Lefroy on Simcoe for perch. It was first ice. When I got there I saw one person WAAAAYYYY out there in the deeper water sitting on a white pail and fishing away. So without checking I figured it would be more then safe in the shallower water where I was heading. Headed for my spot...had to cross a pressure crack on the way out and it never even phased me. Got to my spot and started cutting a hole. Didn't even make 3 turns and I was through...less then 3 inches of ice for sure. Now I was pooping my pants and 300 yards off shore. Didn't even fish...but made my way back to shore. That pressure crack on the way back in was infinitely more intimidating then it was on the way out let me tell you. I made it back safe but I never ever went on first ice again without doing the spud, step, spud, step. Have at her Simon. Be safe and give us a nice report with some fish porn.

Im not a big fan either, but seems like its the way to go out here. Once the ice is 40"+ I might consider it. Dont want to find out if the truck is a good submarine.
Ron Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) I would have been out there 2 inches ago! (Provided there is no snow on it at the time) If there is snow on the 4 inches of ice now it should be more than safe enough. Edited December 9, 2009 by Ron
Michael_Brown Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I would suggest not listening to Ron about ice safety unless you would like to make the news. People call 911 when they see Ron heading out on the ice. Come on Ron, I dare you to say I'm wrong.

T Fisher Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Walk slowly and carry a chipper. My chipper takes out a inch of ice with every hit. If you hit the same hole 4 times and you don't see water your good to go. Have fun.

You must be a liberal...let's just make everything illegal, then everybody would be safe. Gotta love the "nanny state". If common sense is applied, there's no reason to keep vehicles off the ice when it's safe. Just tell Wayne he can't drive to his cottage in the winter (I know, I know...he would just fly in), but if you had your way, I guess planes would be verboten on the ice as well.
irishfield Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I can land the airplane on ice and it will stay up.. and when I step out I will go thru !! Why my buddy always carried a large hatchet on a rope! 1600 lbs / 24 square feet of ski = 66.7 lb/sq ft pressure on the ice. Me at 220lb / 0.5 sq ft per boot = 440 lbs/sq ft pressure. Same stupidity when the OPP drove out in their 8000 lb suburban to tell my neighbour he was a threat to public safety with his wide track old John Deer dozer on the ice. The dozer had a lighter "foot print" than the OPP truck that pulled up RIGHT beside him!
Michael_Brown Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Good Thing Ron doesn't drive a bulldozer. Edited December 9, 2009 by Michael Brown
irishfield Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Yah.. but he does drive a truck and trailer..
Michael_Brown Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Was Ron stuck in that photo or did he just lock his keys inside again?
Fishing 24/7 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 i went out on 2.5 inches of ice once,... no snow on top... glair ice... THEN the sun came out! the rest is history! only thing i can say is that i had to switch shorts when i came back home! CRACK A LACKLING!
