MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I like being out on the ice and people will walk all the way out to where you are and ask "how thick is the ice"?
Oh man, here's what made me crazy the other day:I was out on ice that I was barely comfortable with. I carefully made my way out onto the ice, checking with the spud and drilling test holes, wearing the float suit and and the ice picks. Then I hear a (NON-fishing) man an woman with a kid arguing on shore. The guy is saying that the ice probably isn't safe yet. The woman and the kid are stepping onto the ice "it must be safe, with those fishermen out there!" and the guy is like "you can't assume its safe" as the woman scoffs and heads out onto the ice with the kid.Civilians on early ice-- YIKES!
