That's an area you would want to always check until it gets real cold . . Hasn't been that cold yet crappy deals . My wife got me a float suit few years cuz I'm always on thin ice . But someone's gotta check it how you know it's ready without checking .Quote:

Attachment 41328Attachment 41329My cousin lives on Quinte at Ox Point which is east of Pt. Anne. She posted photos of a really big stretch of open water in front of their place. Almost half way across the bay. Yesterday she posted a photo of a couple of fishing huts not more than 100 yards from the open water. Later she posted photos of the rescue taking place.( you can see the great flares in the second photo that were used during the rescue)
No fish is worth taking these kinds of risks. While I feel sorry for the family and friends involved, this was entirely preventable.
Preventable....yes! Guys seem to push their chances every year, and pay the price. Sad !!!Quote:
