one more thing. an extra large wallet. if you can afford one after buying all those toys. HAHA
-
I must be a gadget buyer. I do need the underwater camera and GPS yet. I don't like strike sensors a whole lot and don't tipup fish enough to consider them. I never knew a guy with a portable shack and gas auger had an unlimited budget lol.
-
How about cooking gear?
-
Ice spikes, 50 feet rope, water bottle, candy bars, bait net/scoop for minnows, hand towel, lid or seat for 5 gal bucket or folding chair.
-
Ummm, did we forget the beer!
-
Those are some good basic lists....even though you only mentioned JIGS once. ::)
I also carry a whistle and a pair of those orange hand spikes in case I (or someone else) falls in. Good safety equipment ;)

No matter what your budget is you should have rope,ice picks,ice cleats.Also stash a set of clothes behind your seat just in case.Driving home wet stinks.Been there done that.
-
Big budget requires a like form of transportation, 4x4 pickup to haul an enclosed trailer, containing a snowmobile or ATV to haul the trailer that doubles as hardside shack with all of the amenities mentioned earlier!!! ;) ;D
-
Don't forget the Brats and beer!

Some plastic shopping bags, like those from Wal-Mart....
Good for putting fish in, your trash, the trash the other bozo left on the ice,
and they make a good liner for the 5 gallon pail - like when you need to take
a dump (please dispose of bag contents properly). They take little room.
I keep some in my ice gear and softwater gear.
