So the other day I watched a couple set up from a distance and man a few 24 to 28 inch bows were pulled up through the ice.
On my way back to the truck I stopped by to chat.
Now we are fishing in 6-15 fow for the most part and I tell ya the set up they had was simple.
Three foot willow branch stuck in the ice/slush from when they drilled the hole.
A spool of 8 lbs mono line Laying on the ice, the line is wrapped twice around the end of the willow branch with a piece of orange ribbon and a bell.
Baited small tear drop jig head about a foot or so off the bottom and they just sit there in a lawn chair watching and listening.
Two of them watching four lines and when I was there they iced a few more just by a slight hook set then pull them up to the surface….you can keep it really simple at first, hand auger, small kids sled etc to see if ice fishing is your thing.

Good luck
