I'll drink to that! :woot: Congrats on your doe. Passed on a 4-pt and a doe because I've got an 8-pt on camera. I'll try rattling soon.

try it now, and grunt. my brother called in a nice 8 with a broken brow and killed him on 10/23/15 he was very aggressive.

SO I am in the market for a new auger, again. I bought the Jiffy Pro 4 propane 10'' last year and it did not hold up to the test. I had problems with not starting/running in the extreme cold. Leaking propane from the regulator/lines, and actually leaking oil right out of the base. Also had a fuel line break right in half one morning (-27*).. Poor fuel economy in the extreme cold as well, probably was leaking fuel also but in the extreme cold I would sometimes only see 10-15 holes per bottle..But the biggest issue was I just could not get the auger to start/run in the cold. ( -10* and below, which I see a lot).

So, what do you guys use and how do you like it? I put a good whoopin on an auger, usually around 50 or more full days of fishing a season. I'm thinking probably go back to the good old 2 stroke smoke, starts up and runs in the extreme cold.

The old 2-strokes were pretty good.  Don't know about the new models.  If I were looking for a gas auger - I'd give the new Strikemaster with a honda engine a good long look.  But I'm not - I'm am pleased as can be with my IceGator.  And with the new 42V 9.5" auger combo coming this winter, I'm loooking hard at that.  :P

If it wasn't for the extreme cold you fish in I'd say go with the Ion.... the one morning I fished it was -7 and still got about 30 8" holes out of it before the battery quit.... probably could have got more out of it if I kept the batter in a soft cooler with a hand warmer in it but I just tossed it inside the hub when it wasn't being used.... but because of the cold you'd be better off with a if its not broke don't fix it 2-stroke

nnyice - sorry to hear about your dad losing out.  That sucks.  That's gotta be bad there.  Sadly,think the writing's been on the wall for a while.  I've known quite a few people, over the years, that have been adversly affevcted by that company.

They are a customer of ours at work (software)  sorry to hear.  I've used my nils in temp you mention without issue.  My buddy's jiffy propane never ad an issue at those temps.  I guess its like anything else, some get lucky with a good one others dont.

Hello Men and Women of the hard water clan, my buddy became a certified diver over the summer, we went out on the river and he did quite a few dives where he came up and reported thousands of walleye in certain spots, will these spots be a good place to fish come hard water? or will i be wasting my time, i dont know walleye seasonal patterns so was hoping someone on here might know, thanks ...
Well, first ---- you have to give up those spots.  Then we'll let you know if they are any good for ice season.   ;D

I've seen the same thing in the St. Lawrence, right along with countless Sturgeon.  You can bang a lure right off their nose and they won't move.  Think they have to be in a feeding mood.

only one way to find out.... first and foremost, make sure its gonna be a safe spot to ice fish. some of the river is a no-no all winter no matter how cold. But sounds like you have a few good places to start.
