My brother-in law and his buddies were fishing off Lincoln Beach when the chunk broke off, but there was open water between them and Bird Island that year and they ended up floating that direction and If I recall were on 6 to 8 inches of ice, they made the news that night as several news teams were there watching the rescue, I'm sure some members on this site remember the incident. We were just glad it didn't turn out with tragic results. You hear of that happening on the Great Lakes once in awhile but not out here. Good Luck on your outing and be careful especially with a heavy machine. I have a friend here at work that left one at the bottom of Flaming Gorge with a sled and lots of fishing gear years ago.[fishin]
