Check out our top 8 ice safety tips
Whenever you ice-fish, keep these safety tips in mind. First, tell someone your plan, whether you are fishing alone or in a group.
Also, test the ice. The minimum thickness to support one person is 4 inches of clear ice; 7.5 inches will support a group weighing up to two tons or an all-terrain vehicle. Use an ice chisel or spud bar to strike the ice and evaluate conditions as you venture out.
Read all top eight tips on our website, and be ready for the ice.
