I typically am fishing when I post ice measurements.
I always measure I don't post guesses.
If I'm just out scouting/measuring, I bring my drill with a big carpentry auger bit, a ship auger bit I think it's called.
I made a measuring stick out of metal rod. A little 90deg bend at the bottom to find the bottom of the ice and inches marked on it. And a loop bent at the top to hold, bigger than the hole in case I drop it.
