Welcome to hard wqater fishing[
] It's a blast.
I don't believe anyone suggested a bucket to carry stuff, I suggest a 7gal bucket taller to sit on and they make some nice padded seats for them. The next step will be a sled (as the gear increases) if money isn't an issue those with the flip up shelters and seats in them are the way to go, I think, but I'll show you what I have.
Also a rod holder is nice when the fish are taking a nap[
] ther's all kinds but I'll post a couple pictures of things you can make with PVC.
Lures are for catchin customers, us, so many to chose from, but it's a color thing just like soft water fihing and what your after. Smaller sometimes is the best choice and I like anything with a painted eye on it and a shinny side.
The auger is what makes this all possible[cool] it must be sharp and there are some fantastic hand augers out there that will do a great job with little effort probably a 6" will work unless your seeking out large fish then maybe an 8" (10" is the largest hole you can have in Idhao).
A fish finder is a good thing (saves drilling a hole for depth and will shoe structure) again many was to go and if you have one already there's ways to make them portable, I'll include that picture as well.
One of the many pleasure while your out is when the ice starts to sing to you which is the best on a bright sunny day.[cool]
