Don’t remember when didn’t have ice on Jan 1
« on: Dec 31, 2018, 07:35 PM »
  This year is the first time in a long time, I don’t even remember when I wasn’t fishing on January 1 !! I have fished twice (shaky ice) this year along the state line. When I was a kid we fished every New Year’s Eve on at least 6” ice, now seems don’t get a lot more than that for the whole year. When was the last time on the first of January that you were not on decent ice ??   Gonna head north in a week or so !!

Some not so smart guy, to be PC, put a car through the ice on Long lake near Alpena today. Some one said a side by side went through a lake a few miles north of their on Friday.

 Ice shifting and pressure crack in an area of the lake that had not been fished. 2 Quad went thru sat night on a pressure crack. They just went in with font wheels. The SXS went thru with all 4 wheels

Quads just went in with the front end and they got them out. The SXS sat on the ice with all 4 wheels thru the ice. I am guessing they got it out without much of a problem. That happened right in front of a friends house. It is really going to be bad now because everything is covered under a layer of wet heavy snow. Got ice first and then 6 or more inches of snow

I feel your pain brother. Allegan county, this is the norm.
