You almost get a desperate feeling to salvage your ice season and venture out on thin ice. Just the thought of waiting till next year for a chance to ice fish can tempt anyone. Before you risk losing all your gear or even your life, consider this. Michigan has safe ice 7-8 hours away. You can get your fix and enjoy a long weekend. Use your new gear and have plenty of stories to tell when you get back. Our season may not have been fullfilling but it definitely would suck to read about a fellow IFO angler losing his life.
