Same thing happened to me last year. Didn't realize there was fishable ice close to home until I was out by the lake and decided to stop by and see how it was coming along. There was a guy in the parking lot that was heading out and he told me that they had been fishing for 3 weeks! Big AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tightlines and Safe Ice to you all!
