Who is the retard that parked a pickup and 25' camper in the Lewis Pt parking lot taking up 6 spaces?
Yep, it was a good one but I had no idea the ice would have been as good as it was. From the conversations on here all weekend I was expecting 2-3” of ice and wasn’t sure if I was even going to get on over deep water. I get that people don’t want to be responsible for anyone getting hurt but there were hundreds of shanty’s on the lake today. If you know the lake well, or at least spots you’ve been on in the past that freeze well, use your judgement or contact someone you know you can trust for an honest ice report.
True, there wasn’t much snow cover either to insulate it from freezing more overnight but we really got 2” in that short of a time? It definitely didn’t waste any time breaking down once the sun got warm by 11am.
I’m usually a week behind first ice and wait for the 6” report to head out but surprised that 1000 people took the chance this morning to head out. Anyways, it was a good weekend for the locals to get a crack at it. I had 2 walleyes iced before I even dropped a jig. They were hitting my first tip up before i could even set the spring. It was that kind of morning for me, finally.
