How do you test for good ice? This is what i do.
I walk out on the ice where i know it is only about 2 feet of water then i drill a test hole. If the ice is less than 4" i go home. If it is over 4" i go out a little further and drill another hole. I stay away from current or other soft spots. If the ice is in poor condition or thin i drill lots of test holes.
