Every year at this time I wonder who will be the first person to brave it out to the broads. We sit at home waiting to see activity on the web cams (thanks to all who operate them, with out the I would lose my mind waiting) or forum reports before we make the trip over to the island, but I always wonder who decides to go first and what leads them to believe its OK.

Last year we went up snowmobiling before the ice was ready and talked to a few people ice fishing and asked how they knew how far they could go and the answers varied from, "we drill holes" to "when you go in, you have gone to far".

So, as we sit and watch the ice grow, use charts to guess how it is growing, etc, who will be the first and will they report back?

Volunteers?
