Tons of people here saying ice fishing is dead and such just have no idea the difference between locations. Would I be on lake Champlain right now? Fuck no. But smaller lakes and ponds still have 6+ inches of ice and are extremely safe to be on with just fishing gear or maybe a 4 wheeler.

However, yesterday was probably one of the last days you'd see me on any body of water. certainly wont be out there again unless we have another long session of cold weather.

These men went out on lake champlain at a remarkably stupid time and paid the price for it, not all fishermen are going to do that shit.
