I know that there are several guys and gals that are staring at the ice right now thinking about how good those fish would taste from the hole, so I just wanted to remind everyone to make sure the ice is good before you step on it. Make sure you take your buddy, rope, and spikes along with you no matter how good you think the ice is. In my opion the artic armor or the ice armor suits are a must also. I know alot of people are not willing to drop 300 bucks on clothing, But I did and it is worth every penny knowing that I increased my chances of being with my wife and kids another day. Good luck to everyone on the ice and everyone please come home dry.
