The only thing I can tell you is if you do it correctly you won't do much fishing but you will do a lot of drinking.

Don't you need a petrol powered auger?

Go to bars in northern Michigan and ask around. People are happy to share their hobbies with people who are interested.

Craziest thing for me was driving the car down the boat ramp, then just continuing to drive out to the shack. Freaky feeling. Seatbelts off, doors unlocked, just in case. Caught zero fish, but was a lot of fun.

We can host you up in northern Maine 🤙

Lake of the Woods or Mille Lacs in upper MN. Winter tourism is their bread and butter. Plenty of guided packages you can look into and the amenities at lodges aren’t lacking.

Yes quite easy to rent in the Midwest lots to choose from, or do yourself with a hut and auger. https://gulllakefishingcharters.com/luxury-ice-shack-rentals/ is example of low effort option, choose your own adventure though
