I used to go on the ice all the time but that was years ago when it was nothing to drive across mallets bay in the truck with the Plow on to go for Pike along the sandbar. NOT NOW somewhere along lifes path that "Brave on the Ice Deal" went sour, I can't explain what it is but, I cannot even walk 30 feet from shoreline any longer.
