| Just read a timely reminder that at least in Oneida County, you are pushing your luck by ice fishing right now. A local guy that specializes in off road and through ice recoveries told the local news that it just is not safe on a lot of lakes. He had just recovered an ice fishing shanty and ATV that two older gentlemen sank on a local lake. Bait shop in Minocqua echoed that warning. We should get some solid ice with night temps dropping but right now, better to be safe than sorry. I know that what was pretty solid ice in front of my place is now slushy.
