ice

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Hey Chevy....It's not a good practice to post ice thickness that you "heard rumours" about....people actually read these posts and might walk out on Bucham's feeling that they are safe because there's 5" of ice that you first reported.... :wink:
