Beer is good for you.
Went to Bremer Pond to check out my house and minnows. We have had a warm spell with two days of rain mixed in. The ground water rose and lifted the ice pack up with it. There is at least a foot of open water around most of the pond. The ground water level will fall and the ice will go down to it's proper position. Found a spot where I could get on the ice with my auger.
My portable house was not full of ice from the rain. The minnows in a sinking minnow bucket in about 3 feet of water are alive. Ice is down from a high of 10.5 inches to about 6 inches.
A "breather hole" developed about 20 yards from my house. There is a kitchen table size hole in the ice. Told Dwight so he won't go out on ice with the Mule in this area.
No fishing, just a reconnoiter.
