I'm an avid ice fisherman, and have been for 5+ years.
I haven't gone through the ice, and (knock on wood) I don't plan on doing so. Just the same, I always bring a change of clothes and a blanket in my truck and always wear my ice spikes thru each sleeve just as an added measure.

There have been quite a few tragedies this season where people ventured out on unsafe ice without ever checking. eVEN IF I have a CONFIRMED report regarding a specific body of water, I'm going to drill a test hole to verify the thickness.
