I agree with the spikes and always wear me korkers. Find a buddy with a gas powered auger...spent enough time splitting wood as a kid, don't need to prove to anybody that I'm a tough guy chipping ice.
Buddies on ice with you, always a must.
I agree with the change of clothes, me and Mikey had a buddy who went through 16" of safe ice one day (stay away from the reeds!)
Tip ups are as much as you make'm.
Good shiners a must.
Grab a jiggin rod.
State license, you know you'll use it later in the year, any way.
Crazy bald brother (he has the power auger).
Cajoling fat man fishing buddy (he brings the eats)
Patience, motel room close, in case you want to make my brother's signature cocktail dreamed up at Cutty (the Captain Gay)...Cap'n and gatorade...he still says thanks Kevin!
Have fun, don't fall in. Heck, why don't you join the Bomba Bros Ice Fishing Tourney, while you're at it!
Later,
Rick
