Re: Early Ice?
Early ice is dangerous as hell. Underwater springs still working at any top ice that may have formed. Wait until it's been cold a good while, and you get a minimum of 4" EVERYWHERE before you walk it, while you check with that spud that you should never be without...

click on the chart..

Re: Early Ice?
Only the front tires were on the ice.  My wife got supper mad until my daughter laught and told her that the front tires were only a foot onto the lake. I may be stupid but I'm not crazy, or maybe that's the other way around.

Re: Early Ice?
The 1st report from URL was from a outfitter & he said there was ice as far as you could see, with 4" everywhere they drilled. The next 1 mentioned a 100' wide crack, getting everyone off safely & closing the access.
