[QUOTE="zoops, post: 209825, member: 790"] Probably in 2000 when still in high school, myself and a few buddies went to Lake Laretta by Michigan, ND. Had been a decent perch bite there the past couple winters, none of us really ice fished at the time we were just kids looking for something to do. Had been there earlier in the winter and at least a couple hundred houses were out there. Well it was late February now and upon getting to the lake there's hardly a soul there. Driving my parents minivan, we get to the access and it's pretty well plugged. Not to be stopped we gun it and of course get buried. We spend a good hour digging out and go fish for a few hours, no bites. Buddy also cuts his ankle with the auger and didn't realize it was cut pretty good until we got back and his boot was full of blood; he had to go in for stitches. Upon coming off the lake, we hit the access going about 50 mph and make it up the hill, but the road is glare ice and my buddy who is following us goes into the ditch right after getting off the lake - another hour at least to dig him out. Serpentine belt also came off the van probably due to all the snow jammed up in the engine - had to get that taken care of too. Dad chewed my rear when we told him. Fun day! I don't think I ice fished again for a few years. [/QUOTE]
