1 Drill holes with a hand auger (for ice 1 foot thick or less) or a power auger (for thicker ice). Those with patience can use a hand chisel.


2
Use sonar to see which holes have fish under them.


3
Once you find a hole you like (preferably the one over the most fish), set up your mobile fishing shack.


4
Reel in your big (or small) catch.
