How its gonna be for the northeast until like January. I may just go for it and have ice picks on and blankets and towels in my car next time the ice gets close to 2 inches.
I've fished on sketchy ice before, places where old holes used to be and what not.
It's so much safer ice fishing in the spring compared to early winter because in winter its colder outside and there's snow covering the ice so you can't tell where the bad ice is. In the spring the air is like 40-50 degrees and you wont die after you fall in, plus you can tell based on the color and texture how the ice will be. I didn't first go on the ice until it had 6 inches last year, but in the spring I fished way less.
