Careful of the pressure cracks

This was yesterday afternoon in big bay. That open water is about 8' wide and twice as long. You can see a number of similar holes all the way along the crack. With this cold it's going to ice over . Fyi

No open water and about 5" ice

There are some man eater and ATV eater holes out there. I spudded my way out with a buddy this am on West Lake and set up on about 5 inches (he drilled on a white piece of ice and only found 3). We hadn't noticed it but he looked over towards the east when a breeze came up and saw a pressure crack about 80 yards long and got as wide as 7 or 8 yards wide about 50 yards from where we were fishing. With no wind, it looked like simple flat, black ice. Be careful and keep your eyes open.
