As an ice fishermen who ventures out onto newly formed ice several times throughout the ice fishing year, I would recommend bringing an axe to hit the ice as you go. If you hit through on one hit, start walking back. If you only have an auger, drill holes every 10-20 feet when on less than 3"s to make sure it doesn't go less than 2"s. And never go alone early in the season. And have lots of fun but leave the big fish for me.[:p]
