Saw a guy go through yesterday

[Skunk City]

Plenty of spots still with unsafe ice, saw that first hand yesterday. Was set up over deep water on one of the big lakes with some big, sketchy looking pressure cracks. Scoped them out with Scoward and decided against crossing it. The ice went from 5" to 2" to thin in less than 5 feet. Short while later, lots of yelling and a guy chest deep in 50fow along the same pressure crack. His buddies were able to get him out quickly, but still scary as sh*t. Have a rope, pfd and picks ready to go!

Nothing will end your fishing day quicker than that

We spudded 3 or 4 spots along that crack over a 100 yard length. The bar was going straight through the crack every spot we checked. We wanted to get accross it, but we knew it was a dumb move so we all agreed to turn back. These dudes were idiots!

Live by the the spud bar!

That happed in Saturday, it will be worse after the rain today. My 8" holes were 12" toilet bowls by the end of the day today and the ice was inconsistent,
5-8".

I was really hoping to ice fish tomorrow somewhere up north. Hoping there is still safe ice up there after this rain.
