freezing up

[kmaty]

Took a ride around today see how the lakes looked only to find a guy all by himself and no body within a ear shout! Guy insisited on walking out to test drill. Told him i wasnt leaving until he came back in then After strongly advising him not and only a short distance from open water he proceded on as he walked the ice would splinter under his feet he drilled a hole and made it back in said there was about a inch anda half. Moral of this post is it hasnt been that cold that long and pushing yhe season is not worth it! I wana ice fish as much as the next guy just use your common sense and stay safe. Oh yea bonus of the day was one pickerl and a half dz crappi. Right down the street safe and sound on solid earth
