Trucks on 7" of Mille Lacs Ice

[Bass Thumb]

Folks, don't be the guy that puts his truck in the drink. There's only 7" of ice out there.

 

That didn't stop the person I saw driving out there today on the flats. There was also a set of truck tracks heading out from the Garrison access that were at least a few days old.

Some people just don't have common sense....

We must have been around each other. I was on Garrison Bay this afternoon as well.  Measured 5-8" of variable ice where I was. 

 

Yes, I also saw those tracks you speak of.  

 

Got a 17" walleye and a small pike in 11-12'.  Pretty slow.

I had two 10" and two 17". Fished hard and banged a ton of holes.

That's pretty crazy.  I was up on Red last week, out of Bearpaw, and Tyler said one of his test holes only had 7'' of ice....of course, there are guys driving all over the place up there with half-tons (or more) and big houses behind. If someone hits the patch of ice he found, down they'll go. 

 

You won't see me driving out there.  I haven't even used a four-wheeler yet.

I'd be okay bringing a four-wheeler out there now. I just stopped carrying my chisel a week ago when I stopped finding areas with less than 6" of ice. The thickest ice I've seen is 8".

I'd be using a four-wheeler if ours wasn't in the shop.
