What do you consider is safe ice?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

i dont go on it until there is at least 4 inches of nice hard ice. AS for my vehicle I wait until there is at least 16 inches and make sure others cars have been out.

I'm a coward on the ice :oops: . If it's 8" , I'll walk on it , but it's gotta be at least 12" before I will drive :roll: :)

I was out on 3 inches last year, but I think from now on I'll wait for 4 inches before venturing out there.

great chart ... one question: who's the poor b****d that reports back the thickness :? ? and if he's wet i guess you can assume it's less then 4 inches ...
