I m still going up on the 25th, safe ice or no, so ill just play it safe @the first and fish right off the dock, the dropoff to 12 ft is only about 5 yards away from there, so I can at least set up a few flags that are only a few steps away. Ill take a life line and tie it to the dock, and at least until I can be sure ice is thick that far out, only drill as far as the line can reach. Worst case scenario @ this point is that the long range forecast keeps bumping up the temps, or that the last few days of forecast im waiting for (so far have it out to the 25th), says that the actual days I will be fishing keep warming up too.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
