Title: Breaking the ice
Post by: wapak ice dawg on December 13, 2016, 10:45:56 AM
someone who lives close to Indian Lake give us a hint on how the ice looks over there, I would normally take a spin and check for myself but we're working 7 days a week and just don't have the time. Thanks for any input

Buddy of mine checked long island this morning. UNSAFE!  He didn't give me a thickness measurement but if he says it's no good you don't want to be on it. He goes out when I wouldn't dream of it. Hope the next few days help out.

Be safe and check the ice! bait stores are telling people 3.5"

Those are some pretty accurate ice thickness readings, do you carry an ice micrometer with you?

I love it!  Have you checked out Williams, Bresler, Ferguson or Metzger yet?   I may try to hit one of them Sunday or Monday, depending on how warm and how much rain falls on Saturday.
