Water is not always what it appears

[Old plug]

Evedently the lake cleared down by Coffmans Beach. Because it is clear in one place it does not mean it all is. We had a melt on top of the ice last night and it would give you the impression of open water. Especially when the wind was calm as it was This morning.  My neighbor msg me and told me on less than 5 boats plowed into the solid covering of Ice up by Cedar Point. One large bass boat came flying up there full tilt and crashed into the ice that was just below the surface. No idea of any damage or injuries. He did say the guy running on full tilt was taking on water when he left. I have seen these situations before with water on top of ice.  It is dangerousness if you do not know what is there. I would wait till I was sure where I was going
