ice fishing

Im going to start ice-fishing because i know someone who has an auger. We'll be doing it on a pond so it'll be for mostly bass, bluegill, pike and an occasional perch. What kind of baits do you reccomend?

2lb test with a slip bobber, styrofoam, and either a minnow or jig, like a swedish pimple.. the bobber is to keep an established depth, usually you let the jig hit bottom and then raise it a few inches off the bottom and set your bobber depth ... also wear rubber boots and take a small piece of plywood to rest your feet on instead of the ice, you wont believe the dif. it makes.
