Think about adding a GPS receiver to your ice fishing arsenal, if you venture out just after early-ice season for bluegills. To make the most of this process, all you need to get started is a hand auger, ice chisel, small portable shelter, and a sonar GPS combo ice machine. Begin by loading the lake map on your GPS and look for the deepest water off the main-lake structure in the area. Keep in mind that panfish congregate in deep basins during early ice. You can also use your GPS to avoid current areas that could make early ice unsafe. Slowly, work your way out to the spot, checking the ice as you go. Once you've located your spot, auger a hole and set the sonar, set the shelter and bring out your ultralight rods and small jigs to catch early season bluegill.
