Ice fisherman pulled from White Bear Lake

By Brady Gervais

[email protected]

Updated: 03/25/2009 12:28:31 PM CDT

A 44-year-old man was rescued after he fell through the ice on White Bear Lake around 10:10 a.m. today, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

The man had been planning to ice fish, said Holli Drinkwine, a Ramsey County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. He was in the water for about 15 minutes before being rescued.

He was taken to a nearby hospital. His condition is unknown, but he was conscious when he was removed from the lake, Drinkwine said.

The man's name has not been released.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office water patrol assisted White Bear Lake authorities in the rescue.

Authorities are advising caution on lakes.

"The ice is getting dangerously thin," Drinkwine said.

Brady Gervais can be reached at 651-228-2171.

I decided today to get everything ready for storage. I was going to try and get out this weekend, but I don't think its going to happen, and not sure I want to take the risk. With all of this rain, just don't trust it.

Lots of larger areas opening up in the Chisago Lake Chain area, and the ice is getting pretty dark in some areas. I would not recommend anyone ice fishing these lakes. Not worth in IMO.

Article on Kare11 dot com that talks about a man who refused assistance last night on lake winnebago. Ice broke away 1/4 mile out and the fish were biting! I think he planned to have it blow over to the next peice of ice or something

Here ya go.... he must have been catching some monsters

OSHKOSH, Wis. - A fisherman floating on a Lake Winnebago ice slab refused to be rescued, telling authorities he wanted to stay because the fish were biting.

Winnebago County sheriff's officials say Joseph Dake used a ladder across open water to get to the ice slab, about a quarter mile from shore.

Lt. John Zimmerman says the slab was connected to ice that led to shore, but a large crack had formed.

The Oshkosh Fire Department sent a rescue boat to Dake Tuesday evening. But, the 35-year-old Oshkosh man refused assistance, saying the fishing was good.

Now thats what you call a combo between open water and ICe fishing right there.

Yea, At this point, my life is more valuable than a couple of fishies. I'm almost ready for 'soft water' season already and the call of the ice is rapidly fading! Don't get me wrong.. Icing 'em is just too much!! But I'll take soft water as a close second. Phred52

I packed up all the gear...

sad to say.. the season is over for me.

I am not much of an open water fisher person... I can handle tossing a line for a few pike or some bass... but I just dont get into like Ice Fishing. I will be looking forward to next season in about 5 minutes....

All of the lakes here in southern mn are ice free already.

Yepper- carried all my stuff downstairs the other day. Kinda puts a tear in the eye. Torn between sadness the seasons over, and sadness because of all the moneys worth of gear gathering dust and spider webs for 8 months

The ice is rotting away as we speak. Be patient. We can be boating in a couple weeks (or less) around here.

Hope to hear a happy ending to the story.

Better get the entryway finished like I was supposed to between hunting and ice fishing. whistle

Not much time left between hunting and fishing again.

I was out tonight in the Detroit Lakes AREA and the Ice was not that great. shore line was ate up pretty bad.The Ice was ok but very spoongie. The auger pushed through very easy but there was still over 2 ft of ice. I thaught I was done a week ago but I gave it one last try tonight and Now, I know I'm done. I really didn't feel good out there tonight.Plus fishing really sucked.Its not worth going threw the ice thats for sure. I walked out, I DIDN"T DRIVE. Just so you know..

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
