Title: Findind safe ice
Post by: FreshwaterPhil on Nov 29, 2022, 06:06 PM
Shot a short video clip of how I safely ice fish early in the season. I realize most of you on here are veterans, this clip is more intended towards people new to ice fishing.

Hadn't thought of it, probably because I won't go on the ice when it goes through. Saved my skin a number of times.
Funny how my most important piece of fishing gear only gets used 2-3 weeks per year.
