Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. He said there's a pickup that broke through the ice. He said it looked like only the front end went in. They had it tied up to try to stop it from going in. It sounded like it was in the area of the bigger crack, towards the west side of all the houses.<P>

Did they let trucks drive out yesterday? We were out at 16 and some guys said that they weren't letting trucks drive out.

Jig O Bit, They were letting some vehicles out yesterday.

Just returned from Long Point yesterday. They started letting trucks out on Friday but stressed greatly to stay on the road and cross the bridge. On saturday I watched several trucks driving in aimlessly towards shore during the snow storm and couldn't believe it. Long point had the road and bridge well marked but some of the trucks just headed for the landing. Most people did use the road but several did not. When we crossed the bridge after the snow, it was pretty slushy under the bridge.

Boater, we came back Wednesday. That crack was still moving earlier in the week. We crossed with ATV Sunday and Monday, West of the bridge, but on Tuesday the ice shifted and we couldn't get across safely with the ATV without the bridge. Good advice stay on the main roads!

The launch at Long Point looked Like a Zoo. Few cars out but there is barely 13-15 inches of ice, use the sleds or wheelers I say.

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
