We caught 2 nice Browns and had a little excitement. 

I had one trap that kept going off and after my 5th or 6th trip to the flag, the back of my sled broke thru the ice on my way to the trap and then #1Bassfisher stepped in an old ice hole and went up to his knee, but nobody got hurt and it was a Good day out on the ice for our 1st time fishing it. We did cut 16" of ice

Crazy that you can be on 16” of ice then break through right next to it. I was able to spud through about 6-8” of ice in one hit the other day…..I wrapped up the season after that.

I should of added we ran into a Darn Blizzard on our way there that lasted about an 45 mins

Our last outing was on about 19 inches of ice.  It wasn't bad but the season is getting to an end.  The edges were ok but you could see where vehicles had stressed things a bit.  I make a point of going on foot since that minimizes the chances of taking a dip.

YEA if we go again it will be on foot and near shore

Today i went by Farm ponds in Falmouth and Cumberland completely free of ice with Geese near by finding green grass. Im sure the NE edges of lakes where sun hits it the most will be open water, Ice fishing over in Cumberland cty, for safety reasons!!!

Drove by Middle Range on Friday and it looked real punky.  Lots of water by the causeway.  Strangely, when I got farther north to Locke Mills, there was that shack still on the ice on North Pond.  Ice did not look safe and frankly I don't know how they're gonna fetch that off the ice now.
