Okay fellas, I know everybody is Jonesing to go. Please be patient wait that extra day or two it is not worth having your loved one start off the new year by burying you. Give it an extra couple days or so to freeze up nice and thick no fish I don't care how damn big it is is worth your life. I saw a post of people walking on 2 in of ice and tethering themselves off to trees with ropes that is just simple fellas.
