Safety warning!!

[tightliner812]

For anyone thinking about running a snowmobile/ATV on the the ice right now, I would advise against it. Watched a guy go in tonight around the corner from the boat ramp on Big Turkey Lake. Luckily he was in about waist deep water and was able to get out about the time we got to him with rope to help.
Feel free to share this post to help keep others save.

Blows my mind someone would attempt this, we havent had that good of ice to even contemplate that, at least not for me

The guy on the sled wasn’t fishing he was just out riding with 2 younger girls that were on another sled. Lucky they were not right behind him when he went in.

Ya they were the only ones we seen. There was tracks where someone had a quad out a couple of days ago.

Was this to the left or to the right around the corner from the ramp? I am assuming its through the narrow off the ramp, and then to the left? I have a buddy and his kids that fish there, and if this snow gets put on tomorrow that spot will not be very safe this weekend and they will not be able to see it.
Just thought I would ask.

Gets a lot of people on that lake. Someone should put some brush to mark that spot like spear shack holes in michigan.
Glad everyone was ok.

seen a guy running a sled on a lake in angola monday. crazy! 

was fishing story lake one night and had a 78 bronco come out on the ice.  they were drunk laughing and tossing out cans.  there was 6" or so where i was that time too!  it was cracking like mad.  they went out around the island and back off and away they went.  they were lucky it didnt spin out and stop i think.  i was hoping that wasnt gona turn into a rescue situation because i was into them.

This was if you go right out of the ramp and go into the next little cove it was to the north east side of that cove between 2 of the  pencil reed stands. Just out from that little strip island that separates the coat from the main lake. It’s in about this area.

I'm thinking if we get heavy snow it will bring up the water and make it obvious that something is not safe there.

I agree with taxi, with all the snow we are suppose to get I would be worried about any snow machine on the ice right now.
cant see where ice might go from 6 inches to 2 inches in certain places. dont take a chance right now, to much snow coming tonight and tomorrow and sat to take a chance !!!!!!!! be smart and check the ice!!!! not worth it with ice machines. wait til we have better ice.

3 guys on 1 quad tonight on Sylvan.  It appears like someone also plowed a landing strip on the lake.  Couldn't tell if they had landed a plane on it or not.
