Muskieman Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I wish I could.... my wife doesn't know his and my kids don't know theirs... we are of different cultures (I'm French Scot Canadian and he's Pakistani Croatian) , he's in the Navy and spends 200+ days on the water but has never been on the ice and swears that he never will... I really don't like unexpected expected company.... I was really looking forward to tomorrow. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipfisher Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I drove right to the hut this morning. I drove onto the ice and parked close to the dock. I walked to the hut with my gear then walked back to the truck drilling holes ever 200-400 feet. Here are some pictures to show ice quality and depth. I found varying ticknesses between 12.5" and 16.5". I then drove the truck to the hut then back off with out issue. Slush is all hardened and should make for better fishing.

NAW Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Do you have a gaff at the hut? I lost mine last year. Just picked up all the parts to make a new one, but not sure if I have the time to complete the task tonight. I don't have a welder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
