Can't believe they have cancelled the AFD derby ! Winni has a lot more thin ice and they are still on. The AFD is two weeks away. Seems a bit premature! Anyone know of any other derbies that weekend?
My pops and i plowed out cummings beach parking and the the hill to get down.
Went out by the boat ramp today. Lots of half frozen slush on top. Headed north towards the peninsula and had a decent amount of ice by shore. Went out a ways and only had a couple inches. Caught this guy on a tilt near shore.
Nice looking Newfound Bow! Congrats, thats a beauty.Hopefully no one drilled any holes too close to the launch.
Well I pissed about the AVFD being cancelled , but now I know why. One drowning at Alton bay and one missing at Ctr Harbor. No need for this. People hear DERBY and assume ice is safe. Just trying to have fun. This sucks!
Jiggin, what is it that makes the water come up? Is it the weight of snow pushing the ice down?
Yes it is the weight of the snow, house, wheeler etc etc....but yes the snow. It pushes down the ice causing the water to come up. The snow "wicks" the water so the cold air can't get to it to freeze it up. Then you have slush. You need to get the water to the cold air so it freezes but usually what happens is the water gets a top layer of ice but the water underneath doesn't freeze so you break through. With the amount of snow i hear we are getting tomorrow, i'll either bump my house off the holes at the end of the day or make sure it's jacked up and pack it down around the house. If i was smart, i wouldn't fish tomorrow and let it all freeze up tonight...but I'm not smart. I can stop by and check your house tomorrow.
