THANKS
Drove by Reddleback bay (Newell) Saturday just to have a look. Couldn't believe what i saw. 6 ice shacks and 8-10 trucks on the ice. All in a 1-2 acre spot. Not sure how thick the ice was, but I think they're crazy.

a couple of weeks ago there was full coverage on the lakes. I'm sure its fishable by now with the cold temperatures. I might venture to spray this week, if I do, I'll jog over to lower k and drill a few holes.

I dont understand why people have to risk their lives to drive to a spot, I bet its the same place they were all set up last winter, and its easy walking distance.

I don't know. It seems to me that people driving their vehicles onto ice that is not thick enough to drive on yet is dangerous to those of us who know to walk on untill it is safe to drive on. That kind of makes it our business, as I certainly do not want to die because some one else makes a mistake and I am sure that most of the other members here do not want to either.

Obviously you have never been around when a vehicle goes threw. Picture this, you invite your buddy out he has to work a little late but tells you to pick up his wife and meet him out on the ice. Your out there the ice is 12" you text him the thickness and you suggest he walk out, like you had walked out. Hes excited to get out and figures the ice is good enough 100yrds off shore less then 50 feet from where your fishing , he goes through. You and his wife run over freaking out bringing a little bit of rope with you to help pull him out of the water. the water goes calm and after a couple minutes the air bubbles stop. he doesnt come up..... how as a fellow fisherman, ice fisher outdoorsman can you say its none of his buisness??? its all of ours, we may not know it but one day in the wild you WILL have to put your nose into someone elses biz and save them, been there personally a few times. If I see that you had cut your leg real real bad with an axe while camping and are screaming like a lil girl, Ill be stickin my nose into your business. If your gonna make a post like that atleast get your spelling right

Default First time out on hard water since April

Was out at PCR today, straight ahead of where the boat dock was. Caught 6 lings, and a wee jack. It gets to live another day

I was a beautiful day. Thickness varied from 6 - 8 inches of solid black ice.

Was on llb today. I didn't feel comfortable at all and I was within 100 feet of shore.

Probably about 12-15 inches of ice. But the way people fish that lake by Churchhill is stupid. Guys parking 3 trucks in a small area on 12 inches of ice..

Had a guy pull up in his truck beside my truck and ask how the fishing was. I was in my 3/4ton diesel crew cab and he had a 1/2 ton crew cab. On 12 inches.
