Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
Doesn't seem like a smart move so early on and you can't fish it until the first anyways so that would explain the lack of fishermen on buckets. Personally I think i'll wait a couple weeks before I venture out on the big lakes. Also I went by a few of the other bigger waters in that area just yesterday and there was a few coves with some ice but the rest of it was wide open.
check again tomorrow, and let us know if you still see it there?....lol
