half a dozen guys when out this morning on lake St Clair.
they were catching perch. though the fishing was good they decided to move over a little, so they did.
not getting up off their seats they found them selfs floting down twards the detroit river.
one man jumped in and atempted to make the distance, he came up short but was able to swim distance. the other 5 were resqued by helicopter.
they started off at around harison twp and floated about 3 miles down river.
this is a yearly event, but usualy in the spring the iratic temps in south east michigan has realy put a damper in the ice fishing in the last week.
