What did Santa bring you?
« on: Dec 26, 2021, 10:46 AM »
Merry Christmas to all my fellow Ice Fisherman!!!

Happy to have the season close at hand again and to have some new adventures.

Santa was kind enough to bring me the yearly Jack Trap that he always does. That guy always knows just the ring thing to buy.

Just wondering what everyone else got under the tree for ice fishing gear?

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and safe travels on the roads and ice this season.
My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

Tight lines and be safe.

Let's see, new Ranger boots, Striker ice bibs and a gas powered auger!  Thanks Santa!

More than 3 cars in my driveway when I get home ? Probably an intervention! I’m outta there!

Same thing I got last year.
It seems to go from zero to hero all some have to do is lie.

I got a remote weather station so I can watch my ice fishing chances fade away in real time!

A bunch of jigs, and spoons.  A flasher, and a new rod.

A new trolling motor for the boat.  I must have been really good this past year! 

I think he's going to bring me a late present, too.  Should he get me an Eskimo Pistol Bit or a StrikeMaster Lite Flight?  Looking to add an 8" bit to my arsenal and put the old Jiffy in the museum.

A pair of Strike Master Pro ice bibs, Piscifun inline reel, and a new seat for my bucket.
Will be having the kids over for Christmas later this week - maybe I'll add to this list.

And still hoping for some temps in the teens or less.

Happy New Year to all!

I don't know much about the StrikeMaster, but the Eskimo pistol bit was a good (nearly universal) bit for me and worked to attach my 8" ice bit onto an earth auger shaft and motor

Thanks, Marauder.  I pulled the trigger on the pistol bit the other day.  Should be here by the weekend .... can't wait.  I've had a 6" mini-Nero hooked to the Dewalt drill for a couple of years and have no doubt it will handle the 8" bit just fine.
