[fishmeister_86]

HI F.M. READERS,

JUST WANTED TO GIVE A UPDATE ON THE ICE CONDITIONS AS OF THURSDAY, DEC. 2ND.

WENT TO BOWMANS LANDING, BAY IS FROZE, STILL OPEN WATER MAYBE 100 YARDS OUT. WENT TO TILSONS, THERE WERE 3 FISH HOUSES MAYBE A 100 YARDS FROM THE DOCK(CRAZY), GO OUT MAYBE ANOTHER 400 YARDS-OPEN WATER. WENT TO VNP PARK LANDING-BLACK BAY I BELIEVE HAS BEEN ICED OVER FOR A WHILE, AND I COULD NOT SEE ANY OPEN WATER. I DO ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO DARES TO GO OUT EARLY, USE GREAT PRECAUTIONS, BE WITH SOMEONE,HAVE A 100 FOOT ROPE TIED TO YOU, LIFE JACKET-ON, ICE SPIKES. I ADVISE THIS, AS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, I WENT THRU THE ICE ACROSS FROM SHA-SHA & IN THE WATER 30 MIN. WELL GOD DECIDED TO KEEP ME AROUND ON EARTH A WHILE LONGER., SO BE CAREFUL...THAT INCLUDES YOU SCOTT SKIFSTROM. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT THERE, JUST AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE, JUST HAVE LEARNED TO BE CAREFUL.

SINCERELY,

FISHMIESTER

Good morning FM. I'll be up on the 17th and hope to wet a line for a few hours. I'll try and stop and see you before I'll go out. Glad to hear that its finally icing up. Thanks for the info.

[Cheers]

heavy warm south wind on Friday took a toll on the ice. Looks like the North Arm may have froze last nite (Saturday nite ). If any one needs I can update later . No snow worth mentioning yet. Only 2 deg. F. -17 C. at 9am.

[Cheers]

Sory for the bad information this morning. After taking out the binoculars it seems there is still some open water in Norh Arm. I guess it was just wishfull thinking.
