Definitely good advice but we also shouldn't forget that the water is dangerous all year if you're not prepared and careful. An unprepared person that doesn't respect the water is probably more likely to die than one that is prepared and cautious that fishes in February. Don't forget, that water is awful cold more than its warm, hypothermia can happen in march and April and November...good not to forget these warnings all year, seems you only see them during times like this when it's not as common to go out. Big lake, respect it every day and always safety before fish
