Use a chordless drill with a large bit. Drill the holes about 6-8 inches deep(don't know if you need to go that deep - but drill the holes at about a 45* angle(more or less). For stakes use branches or sticks(both free) of some kind(they should be about a foot long) that will fit in the hole you've drilled. Place the sticks in the hole and pour enough water(use the water from your fishing hole) in to fill the hole with the sticks already in place(the sticks should protrude about 4-6 inches out of the hole) - it will freeze in a couple of minutes. Tie the guy ropes to the sticks just above ice level . When you are done and leaving, untie your ropes and kick the sticks to break off the tops(so other folks don't trip over them when you're gone) and just leave the what's left of the of the parts of the sticks that are still frozen under the ice.
Hope that made some sense.
