We are about to embark on a great season of hard water fishing, and I am as excited as the next guy or gal, but please be safe and consider the consequence of walking out on questionable ice. If you're not sure go home to fish another day. There is not a person on this site that will not be missed, we are all some ones child, husband, wife, brother, sister, parent, or friend. Be safe, never fish alone, and always carry a spud bar and rope.
