WHAT,It,s only Nov,30th AND,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Terry]

funny, Brian had to remind me to walk in our foot prints on the way back in, a minor brain fart

 

but yeah, we had ropes, picks, floater suits spuds and know how to test the ice

 

the thing that scares me the most is when a guy, 2 kids and a dog sees us out there and just starts walking out in the general area we are with no regard to ice conditions or personal safety

didn't happen today but has happened in the past

Funny how many pm,s I got today. All my answers were,sorry,I will not be the one that said go.

 

Know where your going,know your limits. 4 inches of black ice,Im walking comfortably. We stepped and chipped all our way out and abound.

 

I didnt post to say it was safe for all or any to go. I posted this report,as it the earliest we both had ever been out.

 

Terry and I have been around the block a few times. I trust his thinking,and Im sure he does mine.

 

Knowing now, by reading other boards,,the word is out.

 

Be safe,know yer limits.

 

Maybe I shouldnt of posted this at all. Some guy reading .OH THOSE GUYS ARE OUT,IT,S SAFE, goes through and I,ll feel like a

 

Try to spell my name right will ya.LOL

That it did Chris. Nice to see yer outing was nice as well..

 

 

well we only found one lake I would think most are not ready

 

After driving this morning to do some scouting,I did find a few lakes that were not safe yet.

 

Couch

 

Not happening anytime soon.

 

From a lake I was hoping to fish this morning.

Not happening.. 10 ft from shore. I heard cracking,and was off like a scared jack rabbit.

What I found? Where the snow fell,the winds blew,the lakes are not safe. I could see different stages of ice formation on all of them.

We were lucky enough to have the ice we did yesterday. Froze over for 8 days,and the temps were well below -10 all those nights.

Looking at the temps coming,I my just grab the float rod for bit.

We got a tease,and I,ll take it.

Before we all know it,we,ll be slaying lakers and whites and perch and thos pesky herring which we cant keep.

Be safe all.and enjoy yer winter wonderland,when it comes.

Glad to see (got the msg yesterday you 2 were out) that all and all it was just good to get out on the ice that was deemed safe at the time in the area.
