      It’s not open water. The lakes in upstate NY are pure spring water and crystal clear 🧊. I’m sure it’s a foot think just looks open because of clarity.🏊‍♂️🤿

    6. Tim Crowley 0
      Ice must have been thin, looks like you are scared to go further out than 20’ from shore. Can’t wait to get ice suit back out, packed it away last week had been ...more on kitchen bench waiting to go.

    - Lake Ontario

    Details: Good spot for 1 pounders
