Ice fishing advice

[Jigman13]

Good recos from skunk so far

Good boots.
Hand warmers
100 ft of rope
Aerated bait bucket
Bucket/tote to carry your gear

I assume your hick buddy has an auger?

Check the regs on number of tip ups/rods you can use so you're aware before stepping foot on the ice

I pre tie all of my rigs so it is easy to swap out leaders quickly. Helps spend more time with bait in the water vs tying leaders with cold fingers while out on the ice. Various hook sizes and fluoro leader strength from small hooks and lite leader for trout/panfish to 6/0s and 80 lb fluoro for toothy critters.
