FG Steve you use that magnet in your boat to fish for steelhead?
Just about lost my spud on first ice. My son and I were fishing on about three inches of new ice. After cutting the holes I spudded about half way down and left the spud standing up in the ice, so I didn't melt down into the snow making it harder to find. After sitting in the shanty for four hours we decided to leave and packed up. Just before leaving I looked around and no spud. Apparently, the sun warmed it up and it melted through the last inch of so of ice. I went to where it had been and found that the T on the end had caught on the ice. Luckily, I was able to reach down and pluck it out. I'll never stand another one up like that.
