Ya i am seeing guys posting vids of fishing on so called 4" of ice for whities, not too sure about that, ask their wife if they know how to measure. always that group that pushes it and eventually they get into trouble, no float suits either. just rolling the dice.

It does, but one needs to report their GPS location while on ICE, unless they pay the sub fee.
It is actually a rather simple app that shows reported locations on a map, however it can be abused by posting fake ice reports. There is no way to check the authenticity of reports.

Yes. Some have used some bad judgement. Ems services have been used unnecessarily. U been on the roads lately? More drivers and pedestrians and e-bike drivers doing stupid sh!t than a few ice fisherman. Do we all wanna ban them from, driving , walking riding etc? Face it. Some people make bad decisions. Most don’t. But that’s humanity. All the soapbox preachers telling everyone how to live…..stay in your lane.

Well you be my guest friend.....I will rely on my knowledge of ice and go fishing in the places I like to fish when it is safe to do so......It has gotten me there alive so far and have been fishing for many years.....the best app I can use is sitting on my shoulders. Good luck.

I always walk out on the ice, it is called good exercise and i am in my late 60's. People are just plain lazy taking a machine out when it is only a 10-15 minute walk.

Yes! Agree

Careless people give icefishers a bad rap. Look before you jump

Funny I saw a post on facebook on Tuesday. These guys were looking for someone to help them off the Ice.

I thought myself who the hell would risk helping these guys.
