There's gotta be more than 2" of ice. I been ice fishing years and 2" ain't safe! The water would be pumping up through the whole from it flexing under their weight moving if it was only 2". Facts.It's sometimes hard to get them turned up outta the hole? Pulling them too hard can pull the hook out?I saw you respond to all your comment and i was wondering why you catch and release fish when releasing them will just kill them?
