What an unbelievable winter….
So depressing

  you got that right    cancelled tournaments, vacations gone bad, disappointed sales in the small shops,  etc  etc

If ice couldn’t hold the person being rescued then yes I’d say the helicopter wouldn’t be able to touch down, very good observation

It was an amphibious chopper would have floated.

Please feel free to share them once you have them all marked up!  LOL

Of course…..😂

Now you know how us lake erie guys feel  we didn't even smell ice this year and haven't had good ice on east side in 8yrs.  It's sad, i can't carry on the tradition as much and as easy as my father did with me.

I’m sure the pilot took into consideration if he landed could have made the rescue more difficult

Oneida isn’t the only place to icefish 😉

I know but its a good test of how ice is in the area. When your travel turns from few mins to a few hrs to half a day and getting longer just depressing.

 , your right it’s depressing to make trips  but I enjoy fishing so it’s 4-600 miles a week or stay home and be miserable
  And my spud is pretty trust worthy
 With all the reports out , things can happen without trying to win a  Darwin trophy

[Hardwater2]

I enjoy it too much as well Freddie. Hopefully headed north 1 more time next week for the last hurrah😉

i just seen a bunch of robins in my yard ....drove by lake neatahwanta in fulton it was 90% ice  covered yesterday  today  90 % open water

[reeleyz]

The ice is packed in from Cleveland and East. To the West is mostly open water.

[oneida1]

yeah i only got two fairly good size areas open now everything is packing in...

Is the wind enough to pile the ice up on the beach ?  Saw it last year after the fact , Thats amazing

[XC 600]

East side of Lewis Point ice is stacking up. Any one ever wade main lake for prespawn walleye.

No.

[trapper2000]

[Mjnoff21]

Open water out from mill street in constantia

cant remember the exact year maybe 6-8 years ago we were getting them in fish creek all the way up to Blossvale the last weekend of season. Rather be on ice that time of year that was a close second though

I saw that on the beach cam  earlier  NUTS or what 

[XC 600]

I've caught plenty of fish in the canal early march, but I agree ice is better . Can see some guys out on sylvan this morn.

[trapper2000]

I think those Frabill pro tip-ups float so you might just need the jet ski !!
