[QUOTE="snow2, post: 393925, member: 7990"] Agreed,these huge shallow bodies of water the ice moves and constantly moves on windy days, early freeze up expansion cracks open up and bounce slightly in the wind slowly opening up these cracks causing ice shift opening more larger cracks,this is mpo as i floated one time for 5 hours on a different large shallow body of water (mille lacs lake)one early dec day,my group walked out 2miles early one morning stepping over occasional large cracks in 8"s of lake ice,warm windy morning spittin rain as a cold front came rolling in with 20mph winds,lake started to break up,i watched huge sheets of ice over lap other ice sheets along shoreline, within minutes we had whitecaps between our group and shore,scary feeling as you u n zipped coveralls and untie your boots anticipating a morning swim,we got lucky as our ice sheet finally slid over,ontop of shore ice allowing us to walk off dry. It's always unnerving early clear ice as you walk out look down into darkness, always have the biggest guy in the group on point walking out with "spudbar" Early ice,opening day deer,duck hunting gets ppl excited and not thinking straight.
