March 16 2010-Last Day On The Ice

It was a beautiful morning, so Joanne and I packed up our fishing gear and once again headed out to Lake Joe. The temperature reached a high of 16C. Due to the warm conditions over the last couple of weeks, the ice is quickly becoming very thin in places. At least this fellow is taking no chances. Instead of a snowmobile or a truck, he is crossing the ice in an airboat. Smart!

All over the ice there are areas of open water. This one was just a couple of yards from where we were fishing.

Speaking of fishing, we were having no luck, so I decided to practice my golfing. It was a hole in one.

After a few hours of no bites, Joanne and I decided to put our minds together and levitate the ice chisel. Neat trick! All in all, a great day, and we both ended up with sunburned faces.
