MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
If it was cold enough, you most likely heard the ice freezing and growing. You will hear some really strange and eerie sounds when this takes place...everything from cracking, groaning, and probably, the sounds you said you heard! (Or...maybe it was Sasquatch blowing you a kiss!) LolWasnt really cold enough to be freezing and growing that fast was in the low 40s this afternoon. It was right at sunset but i have only ever heard popping sounds when the ice is growing this is thebfirst time i have ever heard this sound.
Any pipes or well casing sticking up in the air. There is water intake tower on a lake we fish. When the wind blows just right it sounds like that.
Just wait till a crack comes right up underneath ya and the lake blows and spits up a mist right under you. There will be some weird noises coming from people.
I have had cracks happen close to me but havent felt any mist yet lol
It might have been frozen mist pretty much at that point, but still the guys that were experiencing it the first time, did they jumped. LOL.
You mean like when you realize the water has dropped under the ice and it finally cracks and drops the 6-8” to the water. Lol those funny noises and smells to follow from people
I have had 4 inches of ice feel like it dropped out from under me, that was fun haha
Happens on big lakes a lot. Love it when you get a huge boom and then its quiet for an hour or two after. Ive had my heater and flasher knocked off my bucket a few times.
I've heard that weird soda bottle noise too. I think it's expansion and contraction of the ice, and air being sucked in/pushed out from under the ice, and the air makes that strange reverberation noise. BLUB... BLUUUUUUB....
That’s been my biggest fear of ice fishing since I started, a giant pressure ridge/heave splitting right beneath my feet and creating a 3 foot wide river.
