jus got back from LOW tonight. we put our silverado through at 3 sunday in about 3 feet of water. damage wasnt bad but it was still a pain. luckily there were some nice people up there to help us out. the ice we tried driving on was not even safe enough for walking on and there was ever some open spots near by. i guess that what happens when the city boys go out and think they know whats up.<P>good luck

i was out to it was fine sat. but when you get the rain we did that evening the warm rain is gotta go somewhere and draininto the small holes making them bigger. dont venture at night. but the rest of the lake was awesome for driving as all the snow melted just look out for the bomber trails as we gotstuck driving thru that and it was not fun shoveling all that slush. good luck,walleye bite was soso .it was nice getting my limit on red in 3 hours friday night <BR>

it happened off adrians roads infront of skeets point? (i think) the people said there was some springs around there and there was small parts of open water near by that we werent aware of until after. several of us had fallen through just walking around the truck. sure would have been nice if they would have mentioned to us that that ice wasnt good and to stay away!<P>keep safe!

The reason you were not warned about any of the 3 springs that are off of Skee's Point is because you were driving off of the plowed road. You may not have known were the plowed road was. But those three springs are not the only ones in Four Mile Bay and not the only places you could fall through. There were infact three different vehicles that went in that spot between Sat. night and Sun. when you did. So don't feel too bad. But next time stop and ask around and then look around ahead of where you are driving. <P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by snaggletooth (edited 04-02-2004).]

      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.
