Todays pic

Still looks like a lot of open water and shotty conditions.

That pic says a lot. I thought it would be better. Where did you find that? We are in for a couple of really cold nights coming up, hopefully that helps!

Hey guys, please pardon my ignorance. Since I didn't grow up around frozen bodies of water, what exactly does it mean to "spud"? in the video below, is that the small metal pole with the little yellow ice shovel on it?

It means to stab the ice every couple of steps and if you go through with 2 hits, it's probably on the thin side and you should find reverse.

If you are spudding make sure you have a good lanyard on it and that the lanyard is wrapped around your wrist. Otherwise you will have to buy a new spud real quick.

My second spud bar had a lanyard on it.

Not really a problem. I'm not venturing out onto the ice anyway.

Thanks!

I just did a quick search on YouTube. I didn’t find any updated ice reports for cooks bay. Hopefully someone will post tomorrow with the cold temps through out the day and tonight!
