I saw a green ranger on the ice at long point a few years ago, I pulled the front wheels of my subaru on the ice, but chickened out and walked instead. When I lived in NH I drove on the ice all the time.

we were at the belltower one day like you guys said probably 3 or 4 years ago and just happen to look over and there was an F150 like 100 yards from us. hahahaha was funny because my buddies dad is always freaked about even a wheeler so we took some pictures and sent um on.  Then next thing you know he took off straight down the middle of the lake in a blizzard. hahahaha   Haven't seen that since

Burtis still isn't looking that great.  Drove by this afternoon but didn't get out on it.  It may just be smooth but I don't like the look of it.  Probably another rabbit hunting weekend.

Looks like fly fishing tomorrow, maybe if the wind dies down.  Can't to head to Rinlander Wi next week.  No problem driving on that ice.

I stopped by long point tonight.  It was dark but from what I saw by the lights of the marina it looks like the open water starts before the end of the point.  To make matters worse the wind is blowing the open water right on to the what ice there is.  The forcast looks very windy both sat. and sun.  Early next week looks like it may start to make some ice in the bays on the north end.  I'll stick with my weekend plan of chasing beagles and fishing open water.

... a "thank you much" hand shake goes out to doctari, for making the trip down to our club last week (Southtowns Walleye Association) - he gave a well delivered / and received talk on the proposed firearms/ammunition law changes by the government, along with relevant clarifications of what they might actually mean, to todays enthusiast.

 - turns out the guy actually knows what he's talking about - go figure ;), HA !

 :)Anyone on the ice yet at Burtis?  Should be making ice at a pretty good clip? Not much snow in the Kane area.  Looks like Kinzua will be fishable real soon.

Saw some foot prints, but they didn't go out too far. Looks to be pretty locked up from Burtis to Lakewood, but I'm betting its pretty thin. There's was a lot if open water on Friday.

Guys, before asking about safe ice look up a post or two.  NO safe ice yet.  A guy went through at Burtis.  I drove over to the lake and drove the loop.  Saw where he went through at Burtis.  No safe ice anywhere.  period.

Use your heads and stay safe. If you are that hungry for fish go to the store and buy some. THINK
