My guess is that you are walking and not using sleds. I dont think 4 wheelers can make it on the lake right now with the new snow overnight.
Your regular pole will work fine. Shorter poles if you like it for next year. You might consider getting a strike indicator for the light bite, 2 bucks top. Make sure you dress to stay warm! Wind breaking clothes for the berry a must this time of year.
Pretty much the same gear you would normally use only smaller. ice flies, jigs, ect. worms, minnows, chubs, wax/meal worms as sweeteners are good. I use no weight this time of year but eah to their own on that. jig slow and wait between jigs. pay attention the bite has been lite. Colors white, chartruse, brown, black and dark green have all worked for me this winter.
Good luck and yes you can drill through 2 feet of ice with a hand aguer. But i wouldn't want too! Take some help with ya and switch off. For your 1st trip try the ladders area or Mud creek.
