    I talked to my friend at steves lucky bait up in baudette. He was telling me that a couple guys went out to the lake on wednesday on top of 9 inches of ice. solid right?, well around noon one of the ol’boys heard a loud CRASH!!! next thing he noticed, the line is starting to drift..
    A hover craft came out and picked em up. has anyone else heard about it? poor guys. 9″ you think you’ve got all the ice in the world.

    My rules for safe ice have served me well over the years.

    “Safe ice is 3 cubes into a glass, add liquor of choice with mix of choice. Use moderation.”

    I don’t think there is ANY safe lake ice yet.
