Crazy stories.  What would you guys recommend for ice fishing outfits?  A lot of times I've been going out there hasn't been anybody else out there with me.  Not sure if anyone would be able to hear me.

I have also been wearing a Striker suit for the last 5 years.  I'm very happy with it, and I use it for spring salmon trolling, pickerel jigging and any late fall fishing also.  Very flexible suit with good buoyancy.  Don't forget your ice picks as well.  They are expensive but at this point I'm not putting a price on my life.

I have full body flotation suit, very worm winter version. Tested it summer time by jumping in the water. You simply bob on a surface. My son was playing next to air-ated dock winter time and ice gave in.  All he got water in the boots.

So did they go through a pressure crack or a hole where they moved a rental hut or the mouth of the Trent which is always one of the first places to open up because of the flowing water when it warms up and rains hard
