that explains it

[snuffynra]

wonder if the pond will be packed with guys?

[pimplepounder]

no ice down here people are in travel mode

[trapper2000]

after  that  thaw  i'd  use  a  spud  bar  on  the  way  out!  and  drill  a  few  holes  .... i  wear  artic  armor  but  have  a  pfd  and  rope  in my  shanty ....  i  know   that  ice  was  a  little  funky  when i  got  off  ,  asking  others   if  ice  is    safe  is  like  asking if  a  gun is  loaded ,  you  check  for  yourself  ....  walk  with  the  spud

im trying to decide someplace to go tomorrow or Saturday, haven't ice fished sandy pond  alot. my father inlaw owned the yellow camp right next to the wig wam, we fished in the summer but never ice fished it,just hate to get there and find 300 guys out there. but i need to get out and fish.

[trapper2000]

can't  tell  you  what to  do  ,  but  sandy  is  always  worth  fishing

[snuffynra]

I have to think there will be a bunch of people at the pond this weekend so if you are questioning safety, just wait for some others to go out first. i would think the steakhouse (Wigwam) would be your best bet.

[rprsnt34snaa]

okay cool man i just wanted to make sure...

[H.T.]

just drill holes on your way out to check the ice as you go and you should be fine.

[trapper2000]
