Reply to comment by whaletacochamp in Fisherman dies after falling through ice on Lake Champlain; state urges caution on lakes this weekend by airhogg

I grew up in shelburne as well and I can remember so many people out there in the bay. It’s just sad. At 37 years old to see everything we had as kids go to shit.

I remember driving out to the breakwater - THE BREAKWATER, routinely with my dads truck. Never in a million years would I do that now.

Yup. Every weekend we were out there either walking or skating by ourselves, on my dad’s snowmobile, in someone’s shanty watching tip ups, launching model rockets, just generally having a blast.

We used to drive on from the boat launch in Malletts Bay and come off at the Sandbar. The only problem was if there was too much snow on the ice. Neither of which is an issue anymore.
