More skidooing than fishing.

Hi all,

Its been a sketchy start to the ice season, just as the ice was setting up nicely we got the mother of all snowstorms that dumped 2 feet of heavy wet snow on the ice, it got cold right after but messed the ice up good. Finally got a few hours off work and decided to head out from my place. The lake I went to was sketchy, 9" of crappy ice at the landing, and then only 5" of solid black ice in the main basin, took a long time to finally drill a hole after breaking trail and checking ice as I went............

You got the headstart, but we've about as much ice as you now, we got lucky and haven't got peppered with the epic early season storm we usually get.
