Again Jon the moron... Glad you can read. Do you have proof that they are actually deleted? Do you know for a given fact? or just what you want to talk out your ass?
Hey Jon that comment was made by me on fb about the club not checking the ice and now all my comments were deleted and i can longer post. I have proof that i commented and AMH yes they deleted my post. Youre the one attacking here. Why are they deleting comments? Hmmmm
and how is that? no one sees anything cause there is nothing to see but the drama a guy on the internet that wants to start drama.grow up kid.
Not sure about this, but I know DEC is planning on having their air boat on site.
No, due to being a long time member and seeing such drama from so called "men". its their decision and it always has been. this isn't the only or first year for the ice not to be in amazing conditions. but since their is not a Facebook page for the derby that means act like 14 year olds and cry wolf? you don think its safe, then don't go it that simple. no one is forcing or putting peoples lives in danger. its their own choice if they want to go! yes the shorelines out, yes the ice raised but yes it is also going down. people will make their own choice to go or not and have been! people act as if no ones out or has been out on the lake, FYI they have and are. the cub doesn't force anyone to do anything and for people to try and and say they are or try to say they are "money leeches" is insane. like i said grow up. just because they wish to continue it as they do every yer and you don't like that or believe it should be doesn't mean or give you the right to act like you do and post the **** you do on their Facebook page.
Hey just checkin if there is fishable ice in warren/Essex county, back from page 57... let's put the facebooking and drama aside and catch some fish here fellas
No i am not. this started because of Jon and his bull****
Scrnlkr thanks brother, if the ice on schroon is not good and you happen to be at eagle and see a clam Bigfoot with old glory flying, stop over. I'll give ya a beer... or 7.
Iowa...I'm not assuming it's safe. I have a plan to go out and check for myself. I am only trying to paint a realistic picture for those that are looking here and at the club's facebook page to make an informed decision. I will not be hanging around on unsafe ice, I will check it where I plan to fish and make a decision. I am not so foolish to push it beyond my comfort level and experience.
My apologies. Forgive me I'm a newbie! I appreciate the insight sincerely.
OK with that said don't go off eagle point or your going to find a hole friends of mine watched a guy go into when the ice was setting up. You can see the dark spot in front of the point it's huge and was uncrossable Sunday. I found more going north up the main basin to the deep water. Some ice is badly degraded through and through and some still had some ingerity. I feel bad for ya though because if it were any level of fishable I'd be there...but nope not this weekend I'd feel more obligated to pay more attention to the safety of those around me than the fishing. That is the reality of what you are putting yourself into...also I hate Iowa...it's a L...good luck stay dry.
Want to start a poll on how many ice rescues there will be this weekend?Hey amh518, Jon and Jon are two highly respected ice fisherman in this area, there words of caution should not be ignored, and you should not bash them. If your talking for the club, you said don't fish, believe me, many will not because of shoreline, and not knowing how much damage was done to the ice on the main lake. For those who pre-paid their entries, is the club going to refund the money for not fishing because of unsafe ice? I think not, so I totally agree with Jon, the club is not cancelling so they can pocket all the pre-paid entry fees.
That hole that was there all season had iced over with the snow filling it in when I was there Friday. The pressure ridge was all locked up and the brown shanty that was sitting on shore had made it to the ice. That was Friday. Is the shanty still out there ? On top or sinking ? I know it's a whole different sinero now but just curious about the shanty. Ps , I was there when the guy walked into the open water , amazing. . There were waves on it but some people always throw caution to the wind and become reckless. Be safe folks
I see they did another "non" deleting cleanup on their FB page......
Yes there is, Eagle Lake had 24" ice 10 days ago, on the small side. No rivers or streams coming in to dramatically change water level.
Seems as though Anne Hatchett has been busy.....
