Since no friction force can develop to move me, I would throw my bag horizontally with a force in the opposite direction to which I want to go. According to Newton's third law of motion the bag too will push me with the same force in the opposite direction. This force will push me and since ice is so slippery that it can offer no friction, that is why me and my bag will come to the edge of the pond sliding though on the opposite directions.
