What's that sound?

Today I decided to head out from the bottom of Mapleview Dr, Innisfil. Went out with the girlfriend to do some perching in 20ft of water. Walked out to just shy of 100m from the pressure crack. Nice black ice on top, so I thought. After cutting through about 75% of the ice I hear a creek then a crack The ice seemed to have splintered for a good 50m all the way round me. I'd be lying if I didn't say I nearly made some brown ice right there and then.

After the ice calmed I creeped back to the hole and inspected thickness. 3in or so. Decided it must have been some built up pressure. Drilled a 2nd hole, apologized to the girlfriend and began fishing.

Best part.... We got skunked

Some pics of the conditions.

3in is a bit on the thin side to be taking a GF fishing i'd wait for 5-6 inches for sure

Maybe he was trying to lose the gf

Ya that thickness is best for the Ex.....

Honestly I was meant to head out from 2nd Line Gilford today. Thought I would save myself a 15min drive and try Innisfil. Lucky she's not an Ex yet. Any woman who joins in for a fish is a keeper

Gonna play it a lot safer next time.

By "apologized to the girlfriend" you mean you pleaded your case for why she should keep you, right?

3 inches or so is scary.

3 inches are only meant for Wives not girlfriends

Girlfriends will do anything until you marry them.

I'm very surprised you even stayed!
If the girlfriend even knew what could have possibly happened, she'd be smacking you until you made some brown ice!
Luckily nothing happened! We already had 1 tragedy this winter.

Aussie,

Was there anybody else out there in the vicinity?

Quoted for truth!

Glad to hear there was a happy end to the day ... be safe

That was the ice ready to open up and swallow you,s up never to be seen again.but really I don't know,but it sounds good 😨😱

Did you guys both have float suits on? Do you realize if not how close to the line of insanity your were trekking? I'm really really glad we did not have to read about you on news. Play safe.
