\nICE
\nSAFETY TIPS
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/b>OutdoorsNiagara.com<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are
\ntons of places you can get ice safety tips on the internet and it is
\ngreat to
\nhave a good knowledge of those tips. In this article you will
\nhave a good
\ngeneral idea of what safety is all about without chasing all
\naround the ‘net
\nfor this information. This article gives you a few
\nsimple rules, carrying some basic equipment<\/a> and using common sense.
\nThis advice is framed for ice anglers, but skiers, skaters,
\nsnowmobilers and ice boaters should follow the same steps.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Always
\nremembers this:
\n<\/span>Be extremely careful, “Ice testers are found
\nin the spring”<\/span><\/b> Joe Ognibene<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

PLAN TO FISH AND FISH YOUR
\nPLAN.<\/u> <\/b>Before departing for a fishing
\ntrip, tell someone the details of your outing. These should include
\nwhere you intend to fish (the lake name and county) and approximately
\nwhen you plan to be home. If you decide to stop somewhere after your
\nfishing trip, a simple phone call home is greatly appreciated and notify
\npeople that you are off the ice safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring along a friend<\/span><\/b>
\nto add to your fishing experience and provide extra help in the event of
\ntrouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

When fishing on early or
\nlate season ice<\/b>, always bring an ice bar (ice spud), compass, ice
\ngrabbers, and a length of rope at least 20 feet long.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ice bar<\/span><\/b>
\nis critical because it acts as your \u2018eyes\u2019 on the ice as you feel
\nyour way on uncertain terrain. Never assume<\/u> that ice is uniformly
\nthick over an entire lake. By probing your way with an ice bar you can
\neffectively check ice thickness with each step. One good poke with your
\nice bar will commonly break through to water if the ice is less than
\nthree inches thick.<\/span><\/p>\n

A compass<\/span><\/b>
\ncan save you if an unexpected snowstorm or fog causes a whiteout. Take a
\nreading from shore to your fishing spot and write down the back azimuth
\nas well as you can find your way back to shore and avoid un-safe ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ice grabbers<\/span><\/b>
\nare another essential piece of equipment for ice anglers. Sling them
\naround your neck outside your outermost garment so they are readily
\navailable. Go here for simple diagram of ice
\ngrabbers<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Floatation Devices.<\/span><\/b>
\nIce anglers concerned about safety on suspicious ice should wear
\nflotation devices: a life jacket worn under the normal outdoor gear will
\nkeep you warm and may keep you alive in an ice emergency. Flotation
\ncoats serve the same purpose by keeping your head above water and aiding
\nyour escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

[top]<\/a><\/p>\n

JUDGING THE ICE<\/span><\/b>
\nSmall ponds and protected lakes generally provide the safest conditions
\nduring the early ice fishing season because they freeze more quickly
\nthan larger bodies of water. Similarly, bays and shallow portions of
\nlarger lakes protected from winds freeze first and can provide fishing
\nopportunities before the remainder of the lake is frozen.<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes<\/b> steady,
\ncold temperatures<\/b> to form safe ice. Once the lake is frozen to a
\nminimum thickness of three to four inches, it should be safe for travel
\nby foot. When walking on three inch ice, your fishing partners should
\nspread out. New ice is fairly tough and elastic. Even if it cracks in
\nall directions, it can support an average-sized person.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take precautions<\/span><\/b>
\neven when you think the ice is thick enough to support you. Many factors
\nabove and below the ice can affect its strength and thickness. Avoid
\nriver bends and underwater stream currents that flow in and out of
\nlakes, thinning the ice. Points, channels, underwater humps, and any
\nnarrow constriction within the lake can cause underwater currents that
\nde- crease ice thickness and strength. Ice forms later and in a thinner
\nlayer over springs bubbling into shallow water; such springs are
\nextremely dangerous because they are not easily noticed. Docks, piers,
\nand patches of emergent vegetation, like bulrushes and cattails, can
\nalso lessen ice thickness and strength. These dark surfaces absorb heat
\nand transmit it into the ice. This is a more common problem during the
\nspring when the sun is higher and days are longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snow cover acts as an
\ninsulato<\/b>r and slows down ice formation. Be cautious when ice is
\ncovered with snow early in the season and be suspicious of scattered
\nsnow patches on presumably safe ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Larger lakes tend to<\/span><\/b>
\nfreeze in a progressive manner from the edges towards the center. When
\nventuring out on the larger bodies of water, watch for small ridges that
\nmay indicate new ice formation. Ice between the shore to the ri(lge may
\nbe safe, but from the ridge to the center the ice may have just formed
\nthe night before, and therefore, he un- sale. Always stand nearer to
\nshore and check the ice on the other side of a ridge with your ice bar
\nbefore continuing towards the center. Later in the sea- son, ice
\nadjoining the shore may he- come unsafe first because land warms it and
\nwaves constantly break and re- form lakeshore ice. River ice conditions
\nare often dangerous. Moving water makes ice thick- ness extremely
\nvariable and can scour good ice into open water overnight. Moving water
\nunder the ice can quickly claim victims as the strong cur- rents hinder
\none\u2019s ability to get back onto the ice. Stick with traditional ice
\nfishing spots that people have fished for years. These areas have a
\nhistory of forming good ice. If you want to he adventurous, don\u2019t
\ngo it alone.<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Large bodies of water,
\nsuch as Lake Erie<\/span><\/b> or even Lake Simcoe,
\npose problems usually not encountered on inland lakes. Off shore winds
\nare a real danger to big lake ice anglers. If the ice is not locked in
\nby an island or point, winds have been known to create an ice floe and
\nleave unaware fishers stranded. Because this situation is somewhat
\ncommon on Lake Erie, experienced anglers pull or push boats set on
\nrunners out with then to insure a safe trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to Lake Erie\u2019s large
\nfetch,<\/span><\/b> lake winds can cause ice heaving
\nthat looks similar to pressure ridges on large inland lakes. These areas
\ncan be crossed, but search carefully with your ice bar to find a
\nsuitable safe spot. Remember that ridges arc weak spots, and a strong
\noffshore wind could cause the ice to separate at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

[top]<\/a><\/p>\n

Pack ice is frequently<\/span><\/b>
\nencountered on the Great lakes. It forms when large floating masses of
\nice cakes blow into a bay or shoreline and freeze together. Pack ice is
\nnot as strong as a solid sheet and should be approached with caution.
\nRemember: on big waters, watch the winds and bring a boat. As spring
\napproaches, the warm sun, winds, and above-freezing temperatures can
\ncreate problems for late season fishers. Areas that took the longest to
\nfreeze during first ice are the first to reopen in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid areas with<\/span><\/b>
\nunderwater currents and springs. Similar to those encountered at the
\ndocks at Beaver Island State Park, Wilson Harbor, Oak Orchard and many
\nothers.\u00a0 Also, remember that dark surfaces
\nlike piers, docks, bridges and emerging vegetation absorb heat and can
\ncause dangerous late season ice conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the ice starts to
\nthaw<\/span><\/b>, it deteriorates to a stage known
\nas \u2018honey comb ice.\u201d The ice turns black, loses its elasticity and
\nis hazardous regardless of thickness. It should be approached with
\ncaution \u2014 better yet, avoided<\/u><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prevent a chilly
\ndunking<\/span><\/b> \u2014 or worse, know and watch
\nfor signs of variable ice thickness on lakes of various sizes and
\ndepths. In general, smaller waters freeze first; colder ice is harder
\nice; new ice is better than old ice; and piers, humps, currents, rocks,
\nsnow and emerging plants thin the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Communications with others<\/b>
\nis always important. Boaters have 2-way radios for communications with
\nothers and why not ice fishermen or others venturing out even in a
\nwoods?\u00a0 In the stores today are simple 2-way hand-held radios that
\nare inexpensive and affordable by everyone. They are available in all
\ndepartment stores and sporting goods shops. The distance range is
\nanywhere from 5 to 7 miles. It could save your life or someone else’s.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When venturing<\/span><\/b>
\nout on ice, especially during early and late winter, take precautions.
\nAsk bait shops and friends where the ice is safest. Know the waters you
\nfish. Tell someone your fishing plans. Always test the ice first. Carry
\nor wear safety equipment, such as an ice bar, ice grabbers, and a float
\ncoat. When fishing on large bodies of water, special equipment is
\nnecessary to ensure your safety. Choose your fishing times and places
\ncarefully. Fresh fish aren\u2019t worth a person\u2019s life.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b><\/span>
\n Cut off about six inches from an old broom handle and pound a large nail in one end. Grind the nail to a point. Drill a hole on the other end of the handle to accept a
\ncord that is long enough to run from the end of the handle up your arm, across your shoulders and down the other arm. Thread this through your jacket sleeves and let the ends dangle. If you break through, these devices will let you dig into the ice and pull yourself out. Otherwise, you will not be able to haul yourself out with just your hands on slippery ice.\u00a0<\/span>

\nSAFETY TIPS TO BE AWARE OF
\n<\/span>By Joe Ognibere<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It is certainly true this year that \u201cas the days
\nbegin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen.\u201d Along with longer
\ndaylight hours the frigid temperatures we\u2019ve been having means ice has
\nbeen forming and forming fast. This doesn\u2019t mean you should rush out
\nand start chopping a hole in the nearest pond to start the ice-fishing
\nseason. Wait until you know with absolute certainty that the ice is
\nsafe. Then, and only then, is the time to enjoy a pastime that helps the
\nwinter pass more quickly. Before you head out on the ice there are a few
\nthings you should do to make your excursion more pleasant and a lot less
\nlike work. Ice fishing means you are chancing that the thickness of the
\nice will support your weight and all the gear you haul with you. Your
\npersonal safety should the most important thing to consider before you
\nhead out.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always mentioned a safety device that could
\nsave your life if you break through the ice. Once in the water it is
\nnext to impossible to haul yourself out. There is nothing to grab onto,
\njust slick ice. Carry this easily made gadget that could save your life.
\nTake an old broom handle or one-inch dowel cut to about 10 inches. Run a
\npilot hole in one end and then drive a long spike in the hole so it
\nprotrudes a couple of inches. Tie a cord on the other end that is long
\nenough to run up your sleeves, across your shoulders and down the other
\nside. Let them dangle while you do your thing. In the event you break
\nthrough you can use the picks to jam into the ice and haul yourself out.
\n[SEE DIAGRAM ABOVE]<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Dressing for a day on the ice means dress in layers. Usually heading out
\nto a favorite spot means you\u2019re going to become warm and you could
\nstart sweating. Some of the newer clothing will wick away sweat rather
\nthan have it stay on you to chill you later. Wool is an excellent
\nmaterial to wear because it will retain warmth when wet. Be sure your
\nouter jacket is one that is windproof. When the fishing is slow on the
\nice a gentle breeze can cut right through you if your jacket isn\u2019t
\nwindproof. Get cold feet and the day can be miserable which is why you
\nwant to be sure to keep your toes warm. Insulated boots and socks are a
\ngreat help, but nothing beats the chemical, warming pads that are sold
\nin most sporting goods stores. Tuck one in the bottom of your boots and
\nyou will have toasty warm toes for about eight hours.<\/p>\n

Instead of gloves I think mittens are the way to
\ngo. You can put one of those warming pads in a mitten, but not in a
\nglove. Ice fishing means you\u2019re going to get your hands wet and who
\nwants wet hands when out on the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

It might sound silly, but carry a compass with you
\nso that in case of a sudden whiteout you can make it back to shore. I
\nbecame a firm believer in carrying a compass on the ice when I was
\ncaught on Lake Erie a mile or so off Crystal Beach the day before the
\nBlizzard of \u201977 when whiteouts were common. It\u2019s a scary feeling
\nwhen the shoreline disappears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting out to your spot means hauling your gear
\nwith you on a sled or toboggan. A sled with steel runners is not a good
\nidea. The rough ice will tip it easily. An old wooden, or one of those
\nplastic toboggans that are sold for children, makes an ideal way to haul
\nyour stuff. Once on the ice a windbreak is a great idea. There are some
\nlakes in the state where windbreaks or tents are not allowed. Check with
\nthe locals to find out. The ideal tent is one that has a hole cut
\nthrough the bottom so you can fish through the hole you have drilled.
\nOnce you have your tent set up now you want to heat it some way. There
\nare many small heaters on the market that use propane as a fuel and will
\ndo the job. You\u2019re not trying to heat the whole tent, just warm your
\nhands once in a while. I found the ideal hand warmer was Coleman gas
\nlantern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure of the ice
\nyou\u2019re going out on.
\nDon\u2019t forget, ice testers are found in the spring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
