Dan DAN the fisherman Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Safe ice is something you learn with experience. Hopefully not the bad kind, like falling through. The safefest way I have found, especially with first ice, is to drill holes every few feet to test the thickness. For some the spud bar may work, and thats fine for them. Just be careful, and use common sense. I usually like 4" of clear ice under me. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
