X on the ice

Took the X ice fishing this past week out on some big frozen water (15 inches thick). It was also my first opportunity to see what it could so in fresh 4-5 inch snow over ice and then also packed snow. I'm running with winter tires on some 17's (don't know the type). Expectations met, I was rolling at 30-40 mph and had great control with DSC off.

Love it.

Nice.. At least the lake didn't catch the car.
Wait shouldn't DSC be on?

I got skunked but the family/friends pulled in 13 pike. I keep the DSC off to keep the nanny from being activated on excessive wheel spinage. I turn it on when safety comes before the fun.

Looks like fun!
I miss the days of my youth, ice fishing on Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie
with tip ups, and spearing in the shed.

15" of ice: pretty good thickness, especially if it's "clear blue".
