There's been 2" of clear ice on the bottom and 3" of white (cheap ice) ice on the top of most of the lakes and ponds that I've been fishing. Since the recent rain and 40+ temps, there's a lot of water on top of the ice. I'm guessing that the upper layers of white ice will melt and compromise the quality of the ice.
This is my first year ice fishing, so I'm very sceptical of going out on thin or poor ice. I would think that after the upper layers of ice melt and the rain refreezes, the ice will become much stronger.
What's your thoughts/opinions of the ice quality with the recent weather occurances?
Thank you, Bowhunter57
