To all of my ice fishing peeps, now that the cold is here and ice is setting up across the state, please be careful when venturing out and always remember the golden rule: no ice is safe ice. Most of us know that there are different types of ice that can hold varying amounts of weight - what is safe for one may not be safe for another. Make sure to have your safety gear packed with the ice gear: Ice picks, spud bar, throw rope, and a buddy! Tight lines!!
