it might be time to put away the ice fishing gear when...

You see the bottom moving in the hole, but you know it is not the bottom that is moving!!!

Freaky stuff man, cool vid. How big was the sheet you guys were floating on?

[frostbite]

is that's what you call ice trolling? how did you get off the ice looks like you are covering some ground/ bottom if you were out there for a while there had to be a pretty good gap on the shore line

I am not sure, I could not see anything but ice when we were out there. if it wasn't for seeing the bottom, we would never know we moved at all...

We had wilcraft vehicles like the one in the pics at the end with electric outboards.

We had about 20 yard of bad ice to trudge through that took some work, and 50 or so of open water which was easy

[Desperado]

the chunk we were on was about 10 inches thick

it may have been as small as 8 square miles (2 wide by 4 long) or as large as 50 square miles (5 wide by 10 long)

like Cyb said once you were more than a mile from shore, you could see ice in all directions

but every access we went to had 50 to 100 yds of open water between shore and the ice sheet

What you needed was a good wind so you could pull crank baits.

Now that's what I call ice trolling. cool vid

I'm thinking the breaker that ran north past the resort and Tamarac point allowed the sheet in Tamarac bay to be a seperate piece of ice from the main lake body. with that much open water around shore it could easily slide around, but if it moved that much in four minutes of video,I mean like at least four feet, how much did it move in forty five muntes? crazy cool!

thanks for posting the video cyberfish!
