SO WHO WANTS TO GET ICED?

I bet what ice remaining is fast thickening.. nothing feels safer than standing on the lake expanding and feeling that pressure crack go right under your feet! it is when you don't hear the pressure cracking that i pay more heed.

stay out of the stock market /big brother is on the take

    Imterestingly this is the one thing that scares off newcomers quicker than anything, but agreed its a great indicator of good, solid ice.

    thats right! its funny though how a seasoned ice fisherman loves that sound, compared to a newbie, who is ready to pack it up when the crackin begins. the other day some friends who are new to the sport, creeped 20 yds behind me as we headed out, at the sight of a small frozen upheaval.

    Years ago on Clear lake while laying spread eagle on the ice, (takin a break...) had a good one come from the other end of the lake. Was certain it went right up my spine, but after checkin it passed about 12' away. It was WONDERFUL !!!!(Maybe a little breath taking too !! )

    I was on Chautauqua last weekend and we had a real good one.  You could hear it coming across the whole width of the lake.  It was a lot louder than most!  The ice shifted about a foot!  Everyone out there starts hooting and hollering "that was a good one".  Then we all started teasing the newbies checking their pants.

    Ice on the bay was cracking & groaning all day yesterday.A few "good ones" (cracks) had a few newbies wandering "What the heck was that?"These sounds are music to my ears!!!!!
