Just down from Bigmouth. Saw his post .
On Sunday AM, I saw a black plastic sheet like item blowing down the lake, on very thin ice, near open water. Could not even try to get it. Way out from shore. By 1 in the afternoon it was gone. I assume it was part of some kind of shelter for ice fishing.
It was a bad day for me also , first my printer broke and just before the game, my 1 yr.1 Month old HDTV died. Won't even power up. Did not get a chance to get on the web to post what I saw. .

How bad was the wind?

Big Bay weather station reported sustained winds of just over 30 with gusts to just over 40.
Windy
It's over now and we are in the deep freeze for the rest of the week. The ice machine is at work full time -

The freeze, its about time. Did anyone get any fish, or was it to windy?

This thread isn't about the wind or the weather it's about somebodies lost ice fishing gear!

It could be mine. Our weekend started and ended crappy. My friends got here from buffalo, and one of the crew took five steps and ended up on his back knocked out. 6 staples later we were finally fishing! We hammered the fish as well as everyone else near black lake marine. Then we made the mistake of leaving our gear out Saturday night. We lost two shanty's, six rods, five chairs, bait buckets, an auger, and tackle boxes. Erik 783-3962

Big mouth thanks for returning our stuff! I'll be up at camp today til sunday. Hopefully the Gills and Crappie come back. We didn't fair to well last weekend.
Thanks again.

Erik... wish I could have found some of the more essential gear...maybe along shore in Spring. Fishing has been slow here too. Walleye are biting lately at Wheathouse Bay in Ogd.
