The Second Annual Burbot Bash kicks off today. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says they are reissuing a safety advisory and tips for safe ice fishing.
The ice pick sets will be available as long as the supply lasts. Donations to the Dive Team will be accepted and appreciated. Blust hopes everyone will remember a few safe ice fishing tips.
Always check ice thickness, never ice fish alone, and remember that fishing from shore ice when the lake is not frozen over from bank to bank can be particularly hazardous. Wearing a personal flotation device is recommended. Blust also recommends watching Haskell recommends an ice fishing safety video produced by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources called “Danger, Thin Ice!” It is available on YouTube. The Burbot Bash will be a weekend long Fishing Derby with a kick off at 11 AM today at Buckboard Marina, with registration, rules and status updates on the burbot.
