People were so crazy last year to get on bantam that each time i went to the tackle shop id hear that someone has fallen into bantam again. |
I went there once last year and there were guys with ropes around them attached to shore. That wasnt one of the times I went fishing there. They were nuts.

: Last year i went on 2'' of black ice. 2'' of black ice is as strong as 4'' of white ice. But honestly, there is no reason you should be out on 2'' of ice. I know some people that are scared to go on a foot of ice!
