Be careful out there guys. A Quad went through the ice this morning about 100 yards off shore on cooks bay. I'm hearing the driver is safe. With the recent snow covering the ice it will be difficult to spot the sketchy ice.

Wow unbelievable some people just do not get it specially on cooks bay if you do not see ice hut operators out there that should be telling you something like they say you cant fix stupid glad to hear no one was hurt.

There are already huts out off glenwoods smh, just because some of it is "safe" doesnt mean it all is. This happens every year and always will.

If you have to go then take the necessary precautions, leave the machine at home for now.

I wonder if it suprised him when it broke or he said...yup, knew this was going to happen

I once made a mistake as well, fortunatley for me the only armchair quarterbacks I had to listen to were my family who were glad I was OK and didn't think I deserved to die because I made a mistake.

what the hell was he thinking.

 

Really, I mean, come on.

 

I know it happens every year, and it always will. But this year is super sketchy, why would you bother runing a quad this early?

And all his friends showed up to get it out, thumbs up and NO CHARGES laid. :huh:

 

Stay tuned for more, as the darwin awards continue.

OK I was not going to comment but to know me is to like me :tease:

I fished that area from an early teen till my mid 40s

 

Fished with some long time old timers who lived on Guest Rd BBP area

 

Old Howard God bless is still fishing, a hardy newf :clapping: ,,,his phrase was I start fishing when I stop seeing people fall thru the ice, and a damn good fisherman he is , taught me lots over the years

 

 

BUT ONE OF THE STUPIDIST THINGS I EVER SAW WAS JUST 3 YEARS BEFORE WE CAME UP HERE WE WERE WALKING OUT FROM IBP a MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVED ON A WALKING CATTLE TRAIL TO FISH NOT FAR FROM SHORE WE ONLY WENT MAYBE 200 YARDS AND I TOLD MY SON IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AS SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS OFF TO OUR RIGHT WE SAW THE STEAM COMING OF A MAN WHO HAD MANAGED TO GET HIMSELF BACK ONTO SOME SKETCHY ICE

 

AS WE TURNED TO GO BACK TO SHORE A SLEDDER WHO DID NOT NOTICE US TRYING TO WAVE HIM DOWN DROVE BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND BROKE ICE HE TO GOT BACK TO SHORE MINUS HIS MACHINE

 

NAW summed it up the best,,
