Ice IS a funny thing. I honestly have never ice fished....one thing I want to do but my current winter hobby takes top priority and therefore it has not happened yet.
Either way the only way I comfortably take my snowmobile across ice is when I know temps have been low enough for long enough and if I see trucks and shanties on the ice. I have taken my chances in warmer temps with slush on top and freaked the whole time.....not worth it and lucky I lived to tell the tale. I have also seen trucks parked on 2 feet of ice with a patch of open water 40 yards away. Holy hell it makes you think....just saying. Live life, take "acceptable risk", but do it within reason. I don't believe in missing out on life but ending it for one day of fishing isn't worth loosing your life over either.
