Ice fishing Starter kit

[JohnR]

I picked up a used kit with a bunch of stuff (H/T to WestportMafia for the lead) to build around.

Next step, a few more tip ups and maybe a used power auger.

John if you want to educate yourself a little about "ice" you might want to check out this blog started recently by a very experienced iceboater from Burlington VT. I think the tradegy with several snowmobilers going thru and dying last winter in his area got him thinking there needs to be some kind of resource for ice safety and education.

In se ma and ri I really think a power auger is overkill. A spade usually works better

I do have a 10" electric and a 8" manual though. I hate gas augers in the morning

Check out the nils usa auger. Much cheaper than a power version, and damn fast. My friend just picked one up, there's a chance that it may make its way to tabbit and you can try it out.
