Hey Guys I what some of your opinions. I didn’t get my fishing fix this past year because of a knee surgery. I was on crutches from the end of April to mid August. Needless to say it was a long summer.
Now to the point! With some coaxing from “bone mover” I have decided to try my hand at some hard water fishing this season. What I need from all of you guys is a list of necessities for ice fishing. I think I have the clothing covered, but everything else is up for grabs. As I can’t buy everything at one time, a prioritized list would be very helpful. I am thinking of focusing on panfish this year so that might be helpful. I have also decided that a flasher is a must and easily adapted for all year use. Thanks for any help in advanced! 
Bring on you suggestions.

P.S. Please don’t forget about any safety gear you think would be beneficial.
