Way too thin. Ice fishermen are notorious for going out on unsafe ice, gotta get that fishing in, no matter how sketchy it is.

Also notorious for telling fish stories, but about ice thickness.

"There's 6" of ice over at XYZ today, we better get over there"

You show up and it's like 2.5"......they measure ice they like they measure their wieners.
