MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
6 inch is all i need to get my 20 lb lakers through the hole
Ya, good luck with that! and a rope and gaff and dynamite.
the one im holding here isnt 20 but it came through a 6 inch and i got one last year that was 22 lbs and that came through a 6 inch not saying it was easy but im saying it can happen
I dont fish with tip ups I jig all day. And if you move a couple feet off the spot you catch nothing. Our holes up here freeze solid over night. Ice thickness is 4 ft+ The only way your going to step in a hole is if your on the lake after the season is over. I am not going to wreck my auger redrilling my hole. Its your own resposability to watch where you step. where you fish tip ups are the norm. Up here tip ups are for the lazy.
Up here tip ups are for the lazy.
just got info that at bath tub rocks on caspian there is 5 -8 holes almost 16" across from water running down a 10' hole
here is the problem, yes we are all big boys so if we step in a 10" hole we will deal with it, my problem is when a little kid steps in one, because Im telling you now its not going to be good, then maybe you won't put so much importance on having a little more room to play a fish or not having to keep widening your holes. I have a 6" hand mora and have pulled pike up to 19lbs through so to me 4" over that is plain over kill and competely unecessary. 8" would be a good comprimise. Please rethink the 10" size not for us fisherman but for the kids that are going to get hurt or worse. and please dont say something like the kids have to watch where they are walking. They are kids!
So if an adult knows the possible dangers of a 10" hole,why would they put their child in harms way ? If we have a kid small enough to fall in a 10" hole then that kid doesn`t go on the ice,period....Now how many fatalities have resulted from these evil 10" holes ? Please enlighten my apparent narrow mind set.
We're not "bashing " 10 in augers...just a good conversation about auger dia. Some great thoughts and good points ! You all well know that holes can cleverly disquise them selves as a lake ! Any dia.. Sorry but...ALL CHILDREN are welcome on the ice with ME. Our children started when they were in car seats !!! They loved it !
Ok so now everybody who uses 10" augers should register them as weapons because from the sounds of it on here ice fishermen are being killed every year by 10" holes. Next we will be required to put up fencing around them..........Or people should watch where they walk and keep kids away from 10" holes. Come on people, let's just fish!
