If you have a brain though, you use the 50% rule to keep yourself safe. If you measure the ice, be prepared for the ice to be 50% as thick on other parts of the lake.You can drive a small car on 5'' of ice if you feel lucky and have inhaled too many fumes from the sunflower heater. Along the way, you should expect to tread on ice that is 2.5 inches though.

I bet it went over a spring or weak spot or whatever. I also DO NOT drive on the ice after seeing that.Be safe this year and catch many fish
