I spy where the 30”+ ones are.
I had a great morning. All alone. Probably don't want to try to go there unless you are extremely comfortable with variable ice.
Decent first day back out the got super tight lipped after about 9.
Thats a shame. A 20 dollar piece of metal prevents that..also for those that may not know....you are on camera on a majority of LG ice. Don't be like this guy....(this was just sent to me)
Lol. That is too funny. Did that really happen or did someone photoshop??Different topic. The LG reports and conditions page is pretty dead. Can anyone speak to ice thickness off MBD or any of the bays. I saw a quad this morning on the MDB cam so I'm guessing at least 4.Thanks
I haven't been out of MDB but have read plenty of reports. The ice formed before it snowed and the areas with snow on it have much less ice than the ice that had the snow blow off. Someone went in Saturday and I read someone went in yesterday. At the very least be aware and use caution.
I was at MDB on Friday and there was plenty of good ice where I was and there werent many people north of me. Wonder where the person went through?That said. Your right, I would still bring a spud to be safe.
on bigger lakes a spuds useful all winter, have been thankful I've had mine quite a few times mid season in fridgid temps even
I was up that way for work on Friday and didn’t fish but walked out 30’ and it was 3 inches. Ten feet away under the snow it was an inch. I didn’t fish there this weekend but read on here from a reputable source that someone went in Saturday so that one I would take as fact. Once you get out to the ice that formed after the snow it’s far better. I just figured it would be helpful to share that because if someone sees a quad out they may assume it’s all good and let their guard down
Absolutely you may need a spud every time on George. The pressure cracks open and close and a spud is essential to safely cross them many times. One time we couldn’t get across a newly formed crack and had to walk all the way to shore on the far side of it then cross at the shoreline and head back to the car. I bet we walked an extra half mile because of the detour. But that beats swimming 50’😎
Does anyone know anything about conditions at Huletts?
I assume this google maps image is some kind of fluke and there isn’t actually a submerged little town near Vets Park?]
