[quote LIL_FISH]After reading over all the posts all I have to do is sit back and laugh.[/quote]
Great thread folkses. Caught it late, but quite entertaining. And as a virgin ice fisher - it's all great info. I've seen a few posts about actually falling through, and a couple observations, but not so much about the getting on and off at iffy times. All part of the game I suppose!
And what with 40 degrees (oh carp) today, ummm not good news. Might hafta strap a plank to my roof rack to be ready!
I've heard warning not to wear waders ON ice, but I guess for the getting on, then change - not so bad eh? Interesting. I can see where a Jet Sled, or something with high walls for flotation could be a benefit to getting gear off safe.
Please don't feel slammed, I thought it was an interesting discussion. Lots to be learned by all, and never bad to be humbled, or humble oneself. (yeah, all I gotta do it hit Willard, and I'm there!)
