    I like your thinking:-) I was at Walmart Saturday, I got my 2021 fishing license then just walked through the tackle quick. I actually had a ice rod in my cart for 10sec but then came to my senses and put it back Lol. I don’t evan have a auger so not sure what I was thinking.

    I would feel safe on 7” of ice. From what I’ve been hearing in sw Iowa not that thick.

    I’m about to just sell off all of my ice gear. I already know that I’m not getting out before I move in March.
