That's crazy.. We were there most of Sunday and at barely daylight if you're not careful and not familiar with the creek flow, you could walk onto thin ice. I was hustling to get out was looking up only periodically and in low light it barely looks any different. Someone even gave me a heads up and I was shocked how far out the creek keeps things open. I chased tipdowns all around it Sunday but we were well off the creek. We watched a guy tempt fate with a spud bar and get close to the water and he finally stopped. Then a guy walking out mid-morning walked right between the guy on the bucket and open water. He had no cleats on and was barely waddling along .. It was a sight to see ! Scary stuff ..

when  in doubt stay away from creeks. i think creek runoff water rots the ice from below fast.  its moving water n
n probably a degree or 2 warmer. always a prob at end of wall season as fish move towards creeks n so do the fisher people.
reprt off magnolia sunday. same as everywhere else...lots o fish but few keepersn creepers a MUST!!!!

Game Hog I'm working to get you a more precise location on where she went thru so I can post here for you guys..All I know is that they were far away from where the creek comes out from Greenhurst..
She is ok, just a little shook up...my brother in law was quick to get her warm and out of wet clothes quickly..not sure if she will be going back out there anytime soon
Real good Steve, we were biting this morning..we were biting this morning...

That's really unfortunate.  I'm really glad she is okay though!  It is definitely a wake up call for all of us to stay alert out there.

After further talking to my brother in law, she fell in about 50-60 ft off  the boat launch out of Greenhurst,  not Dewittville ...sorry for any confusion!

In between Vikings and chedwell, basically if you walk out of chedwell rd and head out at a 45 degree angle.  A few years ago there was a couple open holes out there possible due to gas bubbles they were in about 25 ft. I fell in one and went under on 10 inches of ice. I am not a beginner out there and had a good idea were they had been the week before but with the cold weather I figured there would be no issues. Also the weather was so cold and blowing snow made them impossible to see. I should of known better but got lazy. Made it to the truck just about the time my knees stopped bending.

Thanks for the update. Glad she is ok. That was a bit nerve racking going out at 5am with a fresh 3" of snow. Greenhurst is a bad area for that. There is also a creek that flows in there. Lucky it's not a popular spot through the ice.

Has anyone been out on Burtis Bay this week. Planning on going there Saturday, do I need to watch for any bad ice along there?

I fished with GH Wed morning and after we left the ice I checked Burtis.  First of all it was so windy it was a virtual whiteout on the lake.  There were 2 tents out there, but there were 2 spot marked with stakes and yellow caution tape.  I didn't venture out to see what was going on with them, and said screw it.

remove the obvious ones while cleaning, then roll in egg white and Italian bread crumbs , a little lemon pepper seasonings, lay them in hot oil!  close your eyes and enjoy!  they pop out with the tip of a knife after filleting. If the fillet has numerous amounts, toss it and move on. Plenty of perch to choose from!

I inquired about the grubs with the DEC a few years back. They are harmless and won't hurt you. A little extra protein.

Should have went after the craps. Perch are relentless today. 13 more days for the eyes. Think I'll make it. Don't see this ice going away any time soon.
