Gugny Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Picture just taken by a friend of mine who lives on the Hudson River (Big Bay in Queensbury, NY). That’s about six guys ice fishing. Morons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really tell how thick the ice is. It can't be very thick, as it was in the 50s less than a week ago. Not to mention, it's a river, so there's moving water. They do it every year, though, and no one has died that I know of. The water is very shallow there, anyway. Still dumb, IMO. EDIT: I misread your post. Didn't see the law part of your question. I don't think there is a law. If it was on state park land and there was a do not go onto the ice sign, I'm sure that would be different.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Saw some people ice fishing yesterday, but it was on a small, shallow lake. I wouldn’t do it, but I guess it’s safer than on a river with moving water. That’s crazy. Hopefully no kids out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fished that bay for decades with my father and albeit not much, the water does move. It's just so early into the winter and the temps have not been conducive to significant ice building. But ... as I said ... they do it every year and no one seems to get hurt, thankfully. I love me some perch, but not that much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 What makes this moronic? The fact that the ice doesn't cover the entire body of water? I don't ice fish nor do I have the time or inclination to do so. Living in Florida also gets in the way. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it was unseasonably warm and rainy not long before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
