Well i know the feeling of being on a student budget i have been there its horrible.But i can tell you one thing once you get the icefishing bug your hooked for life.So if i was you i would be searchin garage sales and keeping a eye out on ebay for a used Auger better yet a new one,heres another idea[cool] find a friend with a Jiffy gas powered auger and become his bestest friend,.I Trust JIFFY!!So this is all i can say about the auger thing.You can spend 70 - 100 bucks on a hand held auger but you will be buying blades and more blades if you know how to sharpen them i guess you will do well but thats another art form. So all the time your spent drilling holes by hand ect your could be fishing and not just that you can move around and drill all over to find the schools of fish.
