[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 309167, member: 3373"] I started ice fishing many years ago with an axe to open a hole. Then graduated to an ice pick. Thought I was in heaven when I finally bought a hand ice auger. Yes they do work and much easier to use a 6 inch instead of larger. It also doesn't require a huge investment in equipment. Pretty sure you won't have much trouble finding videos that will provide info on lures etc. Lot's of videos will show all the newest equipment and you can spend thousands but you don't need to. A guy told me one time when I asked "How deep were you fishing?" He had no idea. His response was "You don't need a depth finder to catch walleyes, If you don't catch one in 15 minutes, move." There are things that make it easier to catch fish but not required. As in all outdoor activities, a lot of stuff is designed to catch the user as much as the prey. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
