How about one of those "thingies" that help remove ice from the hole? I have a metal one and it works great. I did not go with the plastic ones because a wise ice fisherman said that they to crack.

Unless the pond has a regulation against it, build a small fire on shore for cooking and just keeping warm between flag runs. I've even gone as far as bringing an old metal washtub (oval shape about 25" long and 15" wide. I've used it to hold a small fire on the ice without leaving any ashes behind. I've even used metal trashcan lids as well.
They won't melt and the ice below will create a puddle to be used to put out the embers when you are done.

Most shorelines have plenty of dead wood suitable for burning.

I figure that the less I have to carry, the better.
