We all love too fish & some hunt, but g. Whitmore & head of are dnr said they will lease out state land for solar panels plants first 400 acres & 4000 by spring, that's government over reach & illegal!, that be nich trout fishing are mich rivers & seeing that & solar panels do leak over time, os much for are drinking water & clean rivers, they where under oath too protect are land & waters & wildlife & wilderness areas & state game area s ? Your next fishing report could come from the ausable river or the manistee river on how many fish died because the solar panels leaked & leaked in too are rivers ! Get hold of your state government or state rep. Like Jay deboyer & your federal level now !

You provide such value with these videos. I don't even ice fish. I'm a bass fisherman from KY who comes up a couple times a year but I love LSC and MI so much and I keep up with the lake and conditions all year. Thank you for posting these videos. Go Lions and God Bless!

Been skating all week on the canal, nice thick ice in the still-water areas

Thank you Justin!
To the young and new ice anglers, invest in a float suit before you buy that new shanty.
It’s starting to look like a great ice season this year. Be safe everyone and good luck!

Yeah baby!!! WOOO 3 years, it's been 3 years since we got some good ice this early on! I was out twice today already, can't wait for the weekend! Gonna be busy!

[fordman]

Thank you for another awesome update, always watch for your videos, i have met you before at the fairhaven boat ramp few years back i was running gas powered rc car and you put in your video. Look forward to your next update take care and thanks again 🤟

I think the best thing to remember is that no ice is "safe ice". Good luck out there folks.

[brothergas]

Thanks JC. Appreciate the update. Saves the drive and for that I am subscribed. lol. Old school here. If you’re under 125 proceed with caution. If over wait till someone says there’s at least 3 inches. Spud, spikes, cleats. All a must. Be safe yall!!!!

[nickcourt]

Bring a spud, buy a float suit, and find out where the current flows. It's amazing how fast the current will eat the ice. It takes much longer to freeze up. Stay safe, tight lines!

[vinneyphelps]

Can't wait for the diver duck video. Thx

Tha ks for the video. My neighborhood lake in oakland county is at 3 inches already

[MIFish]

Always use your spud, no matter what. Never step on a new lake without one.

[devonkeeley]

Hey I made your video! First cut at the raft. Sorry for giving you the bird I thought you were the DNR 😂

16 year old kid went thru the ice and passed down in central Ohio yesterday. Use extreme caution on early ice…and never ever go alone.

[lyonmane]

Careful around seawalls... The ground radiates a bit of heat which makes for thinner ice

[leonidas]

Always walk with a spud, walk, spud, walk A pair of ice picks around the neck are something similar will help get you out if you happen to fall through the ice! Stay safe and fish on!

[johnhartman]

My advice. Never fish alone in areas where there are no people nearby .Do not fish ponds that you do not know.There are springs that keep the ice dangerously thin.

[JimBowSlice]

First ice use the buddy system. Spud every step. Ice is setting up nice. Checked fairhaven yesterday. Ice at shore was 2 inches and soft but 3.5 of hard ice 50 yards out. If your not comfortable wait a few days.

[normankaster]

I've gone thru the ice for over 35 years it never gets any better... It WILL happen, so all you can do is have the right safety gear on you, not in your sled or a buddy's.... ON YOU Ice picks, ice cleats, float suit, my dad always told me to use your spud bar to check the ice anything less than 3 hard hits and it starts to leak, back up.Also when your not chipping/ checking your way out or in, carry the spud bar in the middle and at your side so that it's flat to the ice, doing this saved me when I found a spearing hole that was snowed over I fell thru and the spud bar stopped me from going all the way under. Always listen to your gut feeling it's their for a reason. But just like ANYTHING ELSE IN LIFE you can die doing something that you love, so be mindful of that. Good luck this year and hope ya don't get to wet, learn a thing or three about learning to read the ice you should be fine.

Always bring a spud! If you don't feel comfortable back out.
