That happed in Saturday, it will be worse after the rain today. My 8" holes were 12" toilet bowls by the end of the day today and the ice was inconsistent,
5-8".

I was really hoping to ice fish tomorrow somewhere up north. Hoping there is still safe ice up there after this rain.

I always loved to ice fish but even on good ice it takes me an hour or so to not think of going through.
A few yrs ago two boys lost their life on bad ice Budd Lk the east end takes
quite some time of real cold weather.

Please be safe Ya'all or come down, I'll have ya fish your a$$ off your cost for boat & bait $0.00

I went through ALONE at the age of about 12 or 13. [60 now]. I was only up to my stomach or so, thank God my feet could still touch bottom in the muck..
As I tried to pull myself out the ice kept breaking... Finally got out, exhausted but that lesson has stayed with me until today... I will never ice fish again as long as I live.. If I was in 6 fow instead of 3, I would not be typing this...
Ice fishing is not for me... bob

im thinking about getting a striker jacket

wear your ice picks and use common sense and you will be OK. You can always get out using picks just be sure to go back the way you came in, makes sense to assume the ice u walked on was thick enough to support you before it broke
