I dont do much ice fishing anymore. Im sorta lozy and really enjoy being warm. If i do it, i set the tilts go inside and watch for flags by the fire. When i lived in michigan we ice fished all the time. Tilts, jiggin sticks, the usual stuff. The most helpful piece of equipment i used on unfamiliar bodies of water was a portable fish finder. All you need is a skim of water on the ice and the transducer works just fine. I looked for quick changes in water depth, and if i happened to find structure all the better. Ice fishing is the only time i would chase fish on the fishfinder. If there was a school of fish milling around i would drop a jig with a waxworm on it and clean up on panfish. It was important on lake huron. You can go a mile out and be in 4 feet of water with 3 feet of ice. Not a lot of action.
