It`s a sober reminder of the dangers of fishing on the Great lakes, in a boat or on the Ice.

Sad day on Lake Erie. A fellow fisherman lost his life doin what he loved the most. All you guys that fish the hardwater, take heed. When they say open cracks, please pay attention to the wind and the ice shift direction. They have been flirting with that crack for 2 weeks now. First just a couple planks, then a couple skids with plywood. Ice has been coming and going for some time. Sorry to hear it takes a life to smarten up alot of people. A fish is not worth a life. Take care all and be safe out there. Mike in Ohio
