I've had the itch since ice out last year. Bought the flasher after all the ice melted in fact. Almost pulled the trigger on a portable ice shelter, but missed out on the $1 shipping from Bass Pro. I usually like to head out light and drill multiple holes finding the fish. Now I'm thinking the flasher was a big mistake. Used to just take my auger, bucket, pole (backup pole), one jig and a puck of maggots.

I was at Costco yesterday and bought a pair of ice and snow studded slip on your shoes pads. They look awesome and would be excellent for ice fishing.Or just hiking in general in the snow and ice. I wear my Baseball cleats but my feet freeze in those.

cremode or a porta potty would be nice. When I'm fishing the middle of like Fish lake a small porta potty would be great to use as a chair or a pooper.

next is hand warmers.and with that come the toe warmers.

Thermos for coffee

Gear......

I take my sled for transporting

I take a couple vegetable spoons to clear the ice..

An Auger.

bait.

I saw those the other day, was thinking about a pair for my wading boots for getting too/from the rivers.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker
