I was a freshly birthed fawn last ice season... Shaky limbs and all! Lol... GetANet showed me the ropes and I had a blast! My basics were handed-down cross style wooden tip ups from dale, a few new spools of ice line, barrel swivels, hooks to match your baits, and suitable fluoro leader material for whatever u plan to target. Our first trip out, we didn't even have an auger... We used his beast of a spud bar and welding gloves to blow holes in 8" of ice. We prob opened close to 15 holes that day. A skimmer to clean the holes is helpful and cheap. Some sort of ice cleats or creepers are a good piece of safety equipment to have (if u have corkers they'll work just fine). Ice picks around your neck...also a must. There's a ton of stuff for ice fishing but the above mentioned stuff will def get u started. A hand auger is good to have, too. Chopping with the spud was a bit brutal the next day lol... Many others will chime in with other stuff, but this is pretty much what got me started. Always think safety first, too!
