That place seems to be a crazy place for ice.fatluke wrote:...perhaps you can all elaborate on the bad ice conditions?
About 100 feet from shore... we had about 10 to 12 inches of ice. Then you go out another 25 to 35 feet from there and it is MAYBE 4 inches of ice.
There was an open spot in the ice about 2/3rds across the bay... water bubbling and percolating out onto the ice. Poop-loads of slush.
Not quite certain what happened at the launch... but what looked dry and thick ice that some of the boys parked their rigs on, either seeped water through or crack up... and one wheel was halfway submerged.
All this is to say... Be bloody careful there. That lake also is notorious for thin ice on the shore. You could have 18inches of ice in the middle of the bay and 2 inches on shore.
