Even though there was 12" on Oneida last Sunday, I bagged it today, with the warmer temps we've had.

Good advice.....ice thckness is only ONE factor to consider. because when streams run into the lakes currents are set up that reach for large distances laterally and ice also rots in spots from gas pockets, bubblers used near docks etc. Even a float suit offers only limited protection from hypothermia which sets in VERY quickly. I found out just how quickly this year that 35 degree water makes your legs feel paralyzed and it takes you forever to warm up....not a great way to end the season let alone WORSE things that could happen. You almost always hear about people going through at the very beginning and end of the season which is when the ice is most likely to be compromised..it's not worth taking the chance.

I started the morning at Cranberry and had 6 inches of ice 3 white and 3 black.  The sun burned it up fast and it got real soft.The black ice had tons of tiny bubbles. After the fire trucks raced by towards  braddx we moved are spread into 2 feet of water for the remainder of the day.Found a few yellows in there!
