Well I have only ever fished proven ice. I like to swim but not in the winter.
I look for areas where people are or were using w/o incident. And I usually dont like first ice or less then 5 to 6 inches.I know I have passed upa lot of opportunites but never took a plunge. Knock on wood. Ck do you sound with every step or every so many feet or whats the technique?
first ice. last ice.spud..
Last year was pretty easy in pa.over a 10 inches of ice before i got out and 17 inchs when the edges got rotten and I quit goin. This is all good info though thanks to u all. I will be shoping 4 one.
No spud here. Just the essentials.
The most important piece of life saving equipment until the ice is proven. If that isn't clearly understood ~ stay off the ice.
