Hit a Duluth area lake today and found 4-5".

No matter what you do make sure you have at least 1 person with you, your ice picks, a spud to check ice thickness, rope and a life vest at least your 1st time out.

Be safe!!!!!

The very thing I love about this forum is that I feel good about my kids reading it also. I just read a post here that the moderators had to erase. shocked.gif I also want everyone to have a safe season, but don't begrudge people for getting out when they can safely.

Thanks for solving a mystery for me (some) FMers. During over 15 years in corrections, I often wondered what became of 75 or 80% of the inmates who spoke as if they were the toughest, bravest, and craftiest people on earth. Now I know!!! They moved to MN, bought (or stole) some ice fishing equipment, and beat their bare chests with minnow scoops and frozen shiners while proclaiming their wisdom and fearlessness in fishing forums. A suggestion I learned from two men who went early ice fishing on Lake Sinai near Brookings, SD shortly before I moved to MN (13 years ago). If you're taking chances, be sure and drag a portable sled with your gear in it behind you. When both went down and lost their lives they evidently succumbed so quickly that they didn't even have time to try and hang onto the sled as it was found floating over their bodies with all their gear still in it. Saved the divers a lot of time and us taxpayers some money. Perhaps - according to a couple responses- they were actually safe until one maybe had some doubts...and then they weren't safe any more. Take all the chances you want by yourselves guys, but don't try to kid yourselves and others that ice is safe just because you think it is. Someone from the shallow end of the gene pool may actually believe you. Got my BP up with this thread!!!

I was on a bay on SW Metro lake today and it had 3 1/2" of solid, crystal clear ice everywhere I checked.I used a spud bar and checked the whole bay, its small. I will be out first thing tomorrow morning on 4" of the best possible ice with portable and gear. Best part is-It's in SW Metro!!

Since BOB seems to have it all figured out( I love the experts ) just a few things to consider. No one on this forum is the king of first ice and no one on this forum is the smartest and safest ice angler out there. The bottom line is all of us are so fired up about ice fishing we have been scrolling this forum for days, weeks, months. Whether you go out tommorow for the first time or wait until January. Have a great ice fishing season. We don't ice fish so we can argue about who is the best and who was out first. We ice fish because we love it. It touches part of our soul that nothing else does. It is part of who we are. Enjoy it!! Be safe and have a great ice fishing season. Hope to see some of you on the ice this year!!

bottom line is that no ice is ever safe. If you want to be 100% sure and not take any risk--- then dont go on the ice. I like that idea cause it will be alot quieter out there for me laugh.gif These same arguments can be made for seatbelt ussage. Using them saves lives--- but more lives would be saved if we did not get into vehicles in the first place
