PLEASE DO NOT PROCEED ON THE ICE UNTIL THIS WARM WEATHER PASSES THROUGH THIS WEEK...BY TOMORROW NIGHT, THERE WILL BE NO SAFE ICE ANYWHERE

UNFORTUNATLY WE ARE GOING TO JUST HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT GUYS

AGAIN, THE ICE WILL NOT BE SAFE AS OF TONIGHT..BE SMART, BE SAFE...

-Andrew

I could not wait to get this thread started

No better feeling than punching that first hole..

Did a little ice check on a few spots in and around Quebec this morning to find nothing but ''Bad'' ice everywhere

..Most shorelines were crap and made it impossible to take a step on...Eventually, I found a nice little spot just south of Aylmer that looked as though it could support skinny me and a few items :)I took the plunge and put my first foot on the ice

Ok...now the second...right on..Im on

I drilled my first hole about 8 feet out from shore to find 4'' of clear black ice..

Move about another 5 feet and found 3''....

.. ''Don't walk another step'' I told myself and proceeded back to the car to grab a rod rigged with 2lbs fluro, and a Genz bug with Techni-glo tail...My plans were not to drop a line in the water today, but I could not resist

..Not expecting anything to show up on the vex, this little guy came up off othe bottom and took a little nip at my jig..bad idea

Wahooo, first fish through the ice this year! A little perch

...Stayed for only about 10 minutes then had to go home..Sorry for the really bad shots I took today, this spot is secret, also I was rushing and my hands were numb

..Enjoy

Not bad for an ice check

Please Hawkers, don't get the impression that the ice is safe...It is different EVERYWHERE

I had a rope around my waist bia a tree...My ice picks were handy and were ready to be drawed if ever something was to happen...
