Ice was plenty thick where I was at, probably around 7 inches. The ice is solid and I wouldn't worry about it.
I caught all the perch except one deadsticking and the most of the bites I got where very big. I read others were getting light bites but that wasn't the case for me at all. I had one rod in a holder and I was like 15 feet away. I looked over and saw my pole get sucked in through the hole never to be seen again. I had many other bites where the tip of my rod was going through the hole. I was far away from the crowds though so that probably played into things for me.
