Heading onto the ice

@tosee always gets some good ice fishing photos and it reminds me to keep my eyes open. I found this new pond on Saturday and knew I had to get back to take some photos. We are having a warm-up so I made sure I stopped by on my way to the Balance Center. How lucky to catch this guy heading out with his sled. The last thing on the sled was his auger. The ice Shacks were close to the shore but he was heading out to the middle. There was an opening in the ice right near where he packed up. I wouldn't go on that ice but if he was going I wasn't going to miss the shot. I was delighted he made it safely while I shot.

Hope he caught something. We just received some delicious fish that our friend caught while ice fishing.

Wonder if he caught some ? Great shot

Fun. My hubby and boys went with a friend to Lake Winnipesaukee. They loved it. And the perch they caught was so good.

Lovely, although it looks cold :(

Drowning worms doesn't appeal to me under the best conditions let alone under these circumstances - good capture though.

how can places still be frozen up there?

[tony gig]

Lovely capture.

They must know the water and thickness by how it sounds. Although it's been so much warmer I'd probably not chance it either. Good shot!

@olivetreeann If people were that smart there wouldn't be so many rescues and deaths each year.
