I've fished on thinner than 5, and some really inconsistent thinner ice, but, I'll stick to 5 or better.
Mind you, two winters back, I targeted whites just under a pressure ridge of certain frailness,,, but the bite being quite good kept me thinking about going through. Only two feet deep but the ice chunk that could have broken with me would have been horrible had I gone thru.
