This is the best I have used beside a cheap plastic that gets the job done.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dB0sfLKzJ68
I use the 30” plastic black/yellow Frabill scoop. It works for 6” holes but not as well as it does for 8” holes.
these things are great come in two sizes as well, we use the larger one to shovel snow at times, the best thing is they float.
I took a cheapo orange plastic one with the small strainer and sandwiched the handle between some scrap wood I had in the shop with a couple of pipe clamps. Nice and long now. Don't have to bend over too far when I'm seated or hole hopping. Works great. I also have the fancy Frabill one which I picked up for cheap late last year. Like that one too but as mentioned it does work better on 8" holes.
What about this? I know it's for cooking but it looks interesting. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/6-bamboo-handled-coarse-skimmer/407SKIMBC6.html(Image removed from quote.)
Are any of them with plastic scoops durable? I had two with plastic scoops and they both end up cracking and tearing. But I've been looking at one from frabill but it has a plastic scoop.
When I want to knock the ice off I just lift my leg
Jc, you've given me a new idea...I always knew a few beers on the ice was essential. It never occurred to me to use the byproduct to de-ice my skimmer.
