Anyone fish Indian this weekend? I've been working all weekend and off these next 2 days and thought about possibly making the drive. Wasn't sure if the typical areas still had decent ice and if the edges were sturdy enough? Looks like its going to warm up towards the end of the weekend so this likely will be my last go for the year. Thanks in advance for the info!

Hey guys,

 I'm new to ice fishing and was looking for any tips that you may have mainly related to safety. Now I've read about all of the safety equipment and have watched videos on how to use them. I have a spud bar, ice picks, shoe spikes, a whistle, life jacket will always be present as well as a fishing buddy. I have seen many of you talk of a throw rope so was thinking that should also be with me. I won't be going out unless there's 4 inches or more. I'm sure like many of you I am just concerned about going through, especially being new to this. Any pointers or advice is appreciated. Thanks!
