[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Hey, sjgabby, so you liked my ice bridge, huh? You had to walk through 6" deep water before I built that![/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]As sjgabby stated, we drill several holes looking for decent numbers and size of fish. We didn't catch as many perch as sjgabby did himself between the three of us. Sounds like the best fishing was closer to the main lake.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Things are firm in the cold mornings but there is plenty of slush after the sun has a chance to warm things up a bit. We were able to get the sleds on the lake pretty easily in the early morning but were a little concerned coming off during the mid afternoon. While we were fishing, we were breaking through the crust and sinking in to watery slush up over our ankles. Better have decent boots or you'll have wet feet! Also the edges are very tricky. Friday, MGB broke through up to his knees. So really be careful when getting on the ice. The main ice was plenty thick where we were fishing.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Parking access to Pineview could be a lot better. You are taking the chance of getting stuck if you decide to drive down into the marina parking lots. The frozen, packed crust will hold you up but if you go off it, you break through. I have been and see several people trying to get their vehicles out once they go down in these areas; all 4WD. Some are lucky and get in and out. Its a whole lot easier to avoid these situations than tempt fate. Getting stuck is no fun![/size][/font]
