First timer

I fish here quite a bit in the summer and drive by everyday on my way home from work. I noticed some people ice fishing a few times and it peaked my interest. Soooo....

I have done some reseach about safety and regualtions but is there anything I need to know before heading out soon?

Like ettiqute of using a hole that was made by someone else who left or things of that nature?

You can use another hole as long as nobody else is fishing in it! Sorry, couldn't resist!  As for drilling close to people, just stay a reasonable distance away. You can ask how their doing and how close they want you drilling. You'll want basic safety equipment such as cleats to strap to your shoes, a whistle, spud bar, ice picks. Most everything you'll need can be found by searching the site for a few minutes. That covers bare basics of etiquette and safety. I'm sure other members will add valuable input. Sorry I can't be more helpful as I'm not familiar with that lake to give specifics.
