Wow don't know where to start. Started fishing at 8 a.m. with it snowing and blowing. Spent more time trying to hold the tent down on the ice. Did catch a few perch and 1 trout. The gusts of winds were terrible. We were just getting ready to take the shack down when a gust of wind parachuted my tent in the air. There was 9 anchors in the ice and 4 adults holding on to it. It launched all four of us ten feet from where we were standing. My friend bruised his ribs and my wife hurt her leg. Never experienced anything like this. I lost my tent and other items, but we all made it out ok. I lost $550 in gear. The tournament was canceled at 10. Was told there was over 30 shacks lost that day. The officials did a great job of getting everyone off the ice. The boys plowing the roads did a he'll of a job too. Thanks to all who made it possible for all to make it off the mountain safely. If any one finds a clam 6-8 person shack, please comment on my post. It was used 3 times. Would like to see if I could salvage anything.
