I went fishing last weekend and the ice was the big story. I have broken ice before. You know, the crystal-thin stuff that doesn't even slow you down. But, never anything like this:

That ice was 1/2 inch thick, from shore to shore, and all the way down the river. So, we did just like the old timers talk about and drove our boats in a circle, busting ice and creating an ice-filled fishing hole about 50 yards in diameter. That is how we started, and this is how we finished...I think we did okay:

Yep, I would do it all over again...and again...and again...

Good luck, Everyone!
