Default ice fishing

Well I'm heading out to PA this weekend to give this ice fishing a try. I'm not a fan of fishing unless I have a T-shirt on but i'm open to new things and i'm gonna give this a go. Has anyone ever done this before or do it often? Any advice or tips? Thanks

To be honest with you, I know nothing. I was invited up through a friend of a friend. Apparently he has everything i need as far as gear is concerned. Other than that, i'm out in the dark. I'm just going to see what it's all about and ty something new.

Dress warm, have warm dry boots, Bring a coffee thermos and a cooler of beer. I cook while out on the ice. my favorite is deer steak on the grill. Oh, you'll want good sun glasses or goggles.
I can't stand being in an ice hut so i stay outside.
Have fun, I don't summer fish anymore, i prefer ice fishing, more action!!!!!
