Who wants to live forever. Sketchy ice 3in

Idk if you read that post from the same lake about 6 hours ago but probably bad timing with the joke.. AJ was fortunate to get pulled out

Assassin, where do you see the post about someone (AJ) going through the ice?

I did not read that post . If any spot looks different give it a poke with a spud bar. I have a 20ft rope on my sled so my weight and the weight of the sled are spread out when checking the ice in front of me .

Thats a good idea I should really make mine longer. I extended it last year but not by much.

I'd change the post title to "Who wants to die over one 18" rainbow?"

When I was much younger with better circulation I used to ice fish the Mile in the middle if the night alone without a shelter. Just a hand auger and a metal folding chair. I wouldn't go until late Dec or early January-to be safe. For some reason nobody wanted to go with me! One night I excitedly walked out from Sucker Cove about 100-125 yards to the North-Northeast. I drilled my first hole through 15-17 inches of ice. I drilled my second hole 4 feet from the first and the auger popped through after just a handful of turns. It had to be 2-3 inches. Needless to say---I gently stepped to back towards the first hole and was totally unnerved-afraid to walk back to the car for warm ups until daylight when hopefully other fishermen arrived.. Hate when that happens!! Young and dumb!!

worth it caught fish and did not go swimming .

caught fish and did not go swimming early ice yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaa

Great you had a successful day! Always get excited to see the bibber going down, one of the more fun moments of ice fishing for sure!

Nice trout bud. Glad you had a nice outing, there is good ice out there I just made a mistake not being cautious. Have a good ice season.
