Tricky Ice

[JWheeler]

Well you hear about it every year, people getting caught on ice flows. With the crazy weather we've had lately it was only a matter of time. Off another fishing site is a report of some guys being rescued by the coast guard last night.

They were fishing the east side of the bay off of thomas road about 1-1/4 miles out, which would normally be just fine, but that wind had shifted around from the east yesterday, which sent them for a little ride.

Funny thing, some friends and I have been planning a trip to Mud Creek a little further north of thomas rd. I have said that the worst thing for us would be and east wind, well someone must have heard me. :angry2:

Anyways, be careful and be smart...
