Almost lost my pickup today on skunk bay. I think it was an unmarked spear hole but I cruised over top of it and my rear end fell through. I instinctively accelerated and popped out of it. The water was up to the rear bumper. Coming out the bump was violent but no damage so far other than a blown tire. I immediately drove to the beach and put on the spare tire. Spare was flat. Found a home owner inspecting his summer home. He gave me a ride and pumped tire. Got back to fishing.

An atv cruised by pulling a castle in the dark. It sounded like he was close to my accident hole. Lots of driving out here, trails, etc and ice close to 30 inches. Possible it could have been a natural thin spot but there has been spearing nearby and there is no pressure ridges or any sign of bad ice.

I broke through right at the mouth of skunk bay to the west near the shore. Big thick ice chunks mark the no no spot.
