CB’s for Ice Fishing
Monday, March 8, 2010
This past weekend I spent some time looking at a hole in the ice some 9+ miles from shore on the Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota. We rode out there on a vehicle that was remade with “army tank” type tracks underneath it and we could drive through nearly anything. This vehicle I noticed had a very tall antenna on the back of it, a CB Radio mounted on the dash and an escape hatch in the roof for use in the event we went through the ice. This didn’t turn out to be a very real possibility as we found we were standing on 27 inches of ice. Good to know that these communication devices are being used very actively on this lake and many others, I’m sure. Personal CB Radios are a clear ticket to a direct communication with others.
