Answer 2

As you explained it, you have to cut through the thin ice layer that forms   It will never be as thick as the original so easy with a hatchet or small shovel.  You would have to leave it all winter for it to get thick again.  It will always be there...as a thin spot. It will never be liquid water until it is all liquid water then your ice fishing outhouse has sunk.
