Hey Dan... Thanks for posting that... I sent it along to a few of my Green Stump Carp fishing friends...

I like proving we are tougher (and of cours end up proving we are way past nuts)

Were those planer boards really used or were they just a pair of ice skates.
Now that's how you really drop the re-sale value of boat/engine.

We is baaad, ain't we? That's a pretty common site around here. We even have people around the Detroit River who get a running start in open water and shoot the boat up on ice shelves to drill some holes. LOL

Cool pics and article, we did something very similar to that in 2005 at the Bender boat launch for browns. At least these guys were smart and went after walleyes

I'll see if I can find pictures.

hmmm More info, that guy is not a Michigander, he's a Wisconsinite!!! YEAH BABY. hahaha Sorry, Dan.

Happened in November and Escanaba is correct.

John you sould recognize that boat. The guy that broke ice in the pics, also particpated in the Bender outing, we broke ice very similar by "washing" out a big hole with the prop so we could turn/move boats.

Yea broke ice 2 years ago at a WAT in genoa. Best thing was that my partner had a pretty sparkly new plastic boat!!!!! I was not in the boat when that other guy went on the beach.

Reminds me of a few trips at Tobin Lake, Sask I have done in late Oct....But ...While my results were pretty good...they were not up to these guy's "rewards".
I was younger, then ...LOL!
Nowdays...with conditions like that...cribbage w/ a few Lamb's Rum & Cokes in the cabin is more appealing.
