Thanks everyone for the replies. I must admit though I am more confused than before I posted. I didn't want to spend the money for a power auger incase I didn't like ice fishing, but guess I need to rethink about what auger I need. Thanks again, Pop

That was kind of how I took your post POP. No matter what size auger you buy manual augers work very well for the average person. If only doing a few holes a large 8 inch is not a problem however if drilling 20-30 holes trying to locate schools of perch and other fish on on large lakes can be a little taxing. A fifty dollar auger, scooper and a couple of short rods can get you started. I like to use castmaster with a small mill worm or mousee to sweeten the very light taps. Most pan fish will hit the jig when you pause in the jigging. However trout like the jig constantly moving. You can use many other lures and baits similar to open water fishing. Perhaps go out when the first ice comes on and is safe and ask the locals how they are doing it. I agree that spending a lot of money then abandoning a activity is a waist of money. I can say that dress warm and be prepared for whatever , perhaps even a emergency just in case on should arise.
