FOG

[empty hook]

Anyone ever get turned around in the fog while ice fishing.

I haven't been turned around in a fog, but I have gotten confused as to directions during a ground blizzard with zero visibility. It's a female dog when it happens after dark on a large lake. Luckily I put my GPS on track back and followed my track back to the launch.

Not fog, but turned around in a white-out.  Had a compass with me as per pop's instruction.  Always a good idea to take a compass with you, mark shore, then you may avoid the walking onto thin ice or into open water.

I didn't have a compass with me the day I got turned around.  Long before GPS. Fog lifted enough so I could see shore about a 1/4 mile away.

I had the same thing happen to me out on Lower Saranac Lake here in NY.  Luckily I remembered a light on the boat house at the DEC canoe launch.  The snow was absolutely terrible that night.  I was fishing with BCJensen from Pennsylvania at the time, and his sled kept tipping over because it was plowing so much snow.
