Held my breath. Went under the water. Unlaced my Sorel boots because when they got wet they were like two concrete blocks. I couldn't move my feet before I got them off. I then climbed up my friend like a tree. Stood on his shoulders and jumped far from the hole. I then pulled him out and we walked back the way we came. Thank God I had a long line from me to the sled or we would of lost everyting including my Jiffy auger.
I now have large screw bolts I use as picks with a line around my neck for safety. I keep my boots untied if I feel the ice isn't that safe. I'll even wear one of those thin comfortable life preservers too.

I agree. I wait for ice all year. Being retired, I fish everyday there is safe ice. NO ONE loves ice fishing more than myself. I've been doing it hard for forty five years.

Got some sissy toes out on the ice on Thursday morning (just a few steps)... couldn't trust it. took the electronics BACK out of the bag and got the little boat ready again and chopped through some shoerline skim on Swartswood Yesterday and nestled in to a nice deep cove out of the wind and was pleasantly surprised with a decent midday bite of big perch & smallies... it shut off around 2 pm. full moon i think...
