I agree, but not in the conditions we have had in this area. Below 20 at night and up to 40 during the day. Your situation would be great with good solid ice, but that's not what we have. We have air pocket filled ice that is not very stable at all right now for heavy machinery to be driving on. We have maybe 3 inches of good solid ice and 3 inches of bad.

Interesting wake concept tho never thought of it like that.

Edit: also as a person that's been here my whole life, I still wait for 10. No fish is worth the cost of your life or all your equipment + fines.

I grew up in the area as well lol. I’ve always been a little more cavalier with ice, but usually stick to snowmobile.

I swear this ice rescue on red happened every year
