Fisherman Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 Had another Darwin Special on Simcoe today, buddy figured the ice was getting too thick and needed to be broken up with his nomobile. Unfortunately the rescue crew had to go and pluck his sorry bacon out of the drink. Nomobiles are those things that don't work well in the water, when you try and start them, they go no no no no! They added a careless driving charge, should have been wasting oxygen.
OutdoorDan Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Satellite image form the 28th. Lots of cloud cover but you can see it's pretty much mostly all open. How do you think of... I don't even... Sigh.
EC1 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Should have kept the nomobile in full throttle! At least he's ok.. The back lakes barely have enough ice to walk on, so check before you bring your expensive toys out. Or you can just donate them to me!
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 a lot of my chums tell me i drive like an old man. i just nod and say thank you.
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I think my ice is fairly safe now.
irishfield Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I don't know Dave.. you probably should still wrap youself in bubble wrap to keep Billy Bob happy!
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I don't know Dave.. you probably should still wrap youself in bubble wrap to keep Billy Bob happy! Yeah I know. I wouldn't land a 747 on it yet but I think it may be ready for Tank travel.
livinisfishin Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Lol would definitely not be hand bombing that ice dave!
archie_james_c Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I think my ice is fairly safe now. I could punch that with my 8" FinnBore ...... *grin*

cheaptackle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Just read about one going thru the ice on Trout Lake (North Bay) last night at 11:30, 1" of ice where he dropped in. Michael
Fisherman Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Just read about one going thru the ice on Trout Lake (North Bay) last night at 11:30, 1" of ice where he dropped in. Michael 11:30 at night on questionable conditions eh, I wonder what the precursor to that was?
cheaptackle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Article was very brief but at the time I read it there were about 2 dozen comments ripping the rider to shreds. Rider & rescuers all ok was all the report basically said. Michael
BassAsin Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Lol would definitely not be hand bombing that ice dave! I'll have to flip you a pic of me hand bombing through 30 inches here in north bay come march. not as tough as one may think.
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 I'll have to flip you a pic of me hand bombing through 30 inches here in north bay come march. not as tough as one may think. By March we have over 60" of ice.
Roy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 By March we have over 60" of ice. Dave, you can't have 60" of ice on Nipissing. They have to keep some room for water.

OutdoorDan Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 YUP. Impaired snowmobiler By the looks of it he blew a long while after the incident, and he still blew over. Impressive.
