The odds are greatly stacked against him, why do people put themselves into these kind of situations. I hope he makes it. grin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

True Ice fishermen like this fine yank should be allowed to drink and drive if they can pass a DMV driving test while drunk. There should be a special designation on the drivers license specifying that exception. Ice fishing as a way of life is just that important for a productive society.
For those who are against drunk driving, I am not talking about those who are lousy drivers when drunk.
Disclaimer: I am currently drunk, yet still confident that this makes sense.
No matter though. I challenge anyone to explain how ice fishing makes any sense to anyone other than drunk yanks.

Oh yes I have Nessy. Drove a '73 Beetle out on the ice to do it. That was the last time I went ice fishing and the last time I drove that Beetle. I got it off the ice but not far off. It broke in half on me. Too much salt took its toll. The Do Not Pass and the Stop signs for floor boards just wouldn't cut it any more. We drank some beer that day...

The big lakes inside Michigan are frozen. Our Tipup Town starts Saturday. Last 2 weeks.

Lots of fishing contests and a carnival, all on the ice. That's on Houghton Lake.

How thick is the ice down there? It’s not truly ice fishing unless you gotta drill through 3 feet of ice. Lol


Cold as ice!

I only needed an extension ..once. And I didn’t have one. So we used an ice pick for the last 8 inches. Haven’t been out yet ...but hearing the smaller lakes have 12 inches....and the big lakes ..no clue......but it’s making ice everyday,and that’s a good thing.
