This is what it looks like today. About 4” of slush
Everybody's chompin' at the bit, rightfully.But remember, be safe. Give Mama Nature some time to do her thing and help make you safer. Be sure you're coming home with that loaded stringer, not being fished out by the VFD... There ain't no fish, or day of fun, worth a tragedy...
Somebody posted a GREAT safety video in the NY Forum. All Ice Fisherman (especially NEW ice fishermen)should watch it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dube-QUgxoQ
Agreed Rutt..I carry and use the heavier Eskimo spud bar as well.. It is a bit heavy but you know when you strike that ice it will go through if its still too thin.On the Plus side, I do take a ChaPru too and he always walks 10 steps ahead of me !!!!!
