Ice Fishing

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

driving by a lake on my way to work yesterday morning convinced me to stay away from lakes for a couple more weeks. The whole lake was frozen over, but there was long cracks going most of the way across that were about a foot wide.

Those are ice making cracks... it's safe to go out on, i promise you :crapper:

[runninW.O.T.]

There is plenty on most lakes that started to freeze over a week ago. Drove by one lake on fri night with 20+ portables and several permanants!

still too early for me to go on the lake behind my house. I cant swim very well, especially when Im freezing my bones off, so falling through would not be fun. I'll wait another couple weeks, then maybe getting my lil nephews started in hockey.
Been a while since i've last ice fished. Maybe I'll go this year if we get a little house up.

I'll be down for ice fishing in about 2 weeks, just don't like getting first/last ice nowadays.
But I've been thru about 1/2 a dozen times in the 23+ years I've been fishing.

Someone already went through the ice on Coon Lake..Stupid to be out already if you ask me! I am waiting a couple more weeks before I will even walk out.

Youve been through the ice a half dozen times?? Thats nuts! Ive never came close and always hate the idea of heading out onto a lake I dont know.

Telling ya I will die doing something stupid in/with a car most likely.

The times I've fallen thru I was younger and alot dumber, last time I went thru was probably 16.
I've never submerged, but I have been up to my armpits.

I don't count dunking a leg in a predrilled hole falling thru, but making a new hole with my leg does count.
