Nice to see an ice-fishing forum up here.

Here is my setup, I bought it two years ago when I got into Walleye fishing because it was too cold out there at night without some kind of shelter. At about 65# unloaded it’s a #$%@! dragging it through the snow but it’s well worth it once the sun sets and the temps start to fall. Typically loaded up with bait, grill, jigging rods, tipups, vexilar, buddy heater, propane and a cooler with some food and drinks. I have a Nils 8” hand auger that I’ll be getting a power head for this season, usually the hand auger isn’t that bad but the last few years we have had in excess of 20” of ice on some of the lakes I fish (which is a lot in CT) and the hand auger just isn’t cutting it (literally!).

For rare day trips of if I'm meeting friends I'll pack much lighter, usually just throwing tip-ups and a jigging rod in a pack and carrying out bait and if needed an auger.
