A few key takeaways from this past weekend:
-Patience is everything. The fish here roam a lot, you might go 30 minutes without marking anything, only to have a sudden flurry of activity.
-Always set up tip-ups. You never know what might be lurking nearby, and they can make all the difference.
-Don’t be afraid to seek advice! Blade’s Bait & Tackle was not just the perfect spot for bait, but also an incredible source of local knowledge. They pointed us in the right direction and gave crucial tips on where to avoid due unsafe ice

Big shoutout to those who share their insights—it can turn a good trip into a great one!

ICE SAFETY

While colder temperatures may result in ice forming, there is no guarantee ice is thick enough to support a person’s weight. Ice may look thick at first, but thickness can change rapidly, creating potential for life threatening injuries. Ice on bodies of water with a current, like Little Bay de Noc, rivers, and creeks, are particularly unstable.

It’s also important to keep dogs on leash when around freezing bodies of water. Shoreline ice is weak and can result in accidents if your pet is exploring.

If you spot someone fall through the ice let them know you are going to get help and call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not go in after them. Stay on solid ice or steady ground and if available, offer them something you can use to help pull them out, such as a long branch or piece of rope.

If you fall through the ice, follow the 1-10-1 rule outlined by The Lifesaving Society:

In the first minute, focus on getting your breathing under control and keep your head above water.

Use the next 10 minutes while you still have movement to grab onto the ice in front of you to attempt self-rescue.

If you are unable to carry out a self-rescue, you have about one hour before you will likely go unconscious due to hypothermia.

If you plan to head out on the ice for recreational activities like ice fishing, adhere to posted signage and be prepared.
Check with a local bait shop operator or resort owner for known ice conditions, thin ice areas or dangerous open water conditions.

There are several steps you can take to stay ice smart:

• keep away from unfamiliar paths or unknown ice.

• avoid travelling on ice at night - clear hard ice is the only kind of ice recommended for travel.

• if you must venture onto the ice, wear a thermal protection buoyant suit to increase your chances of survival if you fall through. If you do not have one, wear a lifejacket/PFD over an ordinary snowmobile suit or layered winter clothing.

• Use a spud bar to check your path and avoid slushy ice, thawed ice that has recently refrozen, layered or rotten ice caused by sudden temperature changes, and ice near moving water (i.e., rivers, springs, or currents).

• never go on the ice alone; a buddy may be able to rescue you or go for help if you get into difficulty.

• before you leave shore, inform someone of your destination and expected time of return.

• assemble a small personal safety kit no larger than the size of a man's wallet to carry with you. The kit should include a lighter, waterproof matches, magnesium fire starter, pocketknife, compass and whistle. You should also carry ice picks, an ice staff, a rope and a cellular phone.

Have Fun and Stay Safe!
