hey water wolf my wife just got me an ion auger for xmas are they as good as the advertising

Hi pcdoc,
Yeah, I do feel they are as good as they advertise.

They are indeed light weight, cut fast a regular ice auger and are quite with no fumes.

The number of hole is the only thing that may be a bit off. I feel that our cold temps drain the battery a bit faster than they advertise. They may have been testing them in in the warmer temps of the US ice belt.
40 holes might be a bit over zealous thinking in our frigid SK temps and through 2 - 3 feet of ice.

With almost 3 feet of hard ice we can have here, I think your looking at more like 20 - 25 holes before it needs to be recharged.

It would probably be a good idea to keep the battery warm if you can also. It may extend it's life a bit longer.

WW

thanks WW I am goin to get a second battery after xmas can pick one up for 150.00 thinking its worth it and having a inverter there might help also as I tend to drill 60 plus holes generally

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #64 on:** Nov 25, 2013, 07:26 PM »

Ice is 8 inches...fishing is steady action...not non stop but not super slow either

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #66 on:** Nov 25, 2013, 09:02 PM »

my uncle just told me he caught 3 walleye straight out from park today

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #68 on:** Nov 25, 2013, 10:17 PM »

Well I was hoping that would remain a secret for at least a few more weeks lol, but if you like to stay fairly mobile on the ice, the walleye have been hitting just about anything lately..

Not much is a secret on buffalo.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #70 on:** Nov 27, 2013, 12:23 AM »

me and two buddies walked out from valley view boat launch, its across from the main beach at Buffalo Pound provincial park. we were fishing just about at the middle of the lake and the ice was easily 7" and clear.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #74 on:** Nov 28, 2013, 05:37 PM »

I'm slaying em right now...have caught probably 50 perch and 5 walleye...all bit my 10 perch limit and one tasty walleye have gone back

Walleyerus · « **Reply #75 on:** Nov 28, 2013, 08:22 PM »

Nice to have a small lake around and some early ice. Any size to the eyes. Summer Ive taken some 5 lbers and seen bigger but only a couple small ones years ago in winter.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #76 on:** Nov 28, 2013, 08:50 PM »

Couple where about 1lb maybe 1.5 the one I kept is probably 3lb and I put back a bigger girl I would guess 6lbish....perch where all around the 12 inch mark that I kept

How was the fishing, if you don't mind me asking

Got my new PB Pike today...18.5..nothing super impressive, but was fun on my perch rod.

Right on. Lots of people out yesterday. If the snow stays away for a whole we are I for a good year.

I was out yesterday afternoon on Buffalo pound. Not a soul there. Also, there was still open water in one spot.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #82 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 05:01 PM »

There was lots at sand point and Loneys. Talked to a few guys in a couple different spots on the north side.

Only open water I was was the causway. Depending on the year it can be open all winter. Not sure if there was open water anywhere else

Saskfish123 · « **Reply #83 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 11:12 PM »

Ok, I was at the south end by park

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #84 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 12:32 AM »

Has anyone tried by the old pumphouse lately?

ian9 · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 11:36 AM »

Thinking about heading out this afternoon. Is there anyone out? Is the ice thick enough? Anyone catching anything?

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #86 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 01:51 PM »

Ice is plenty thick...there are a few weak spots, but as long as you stay away from them your good...personal opinion I wouldn't risk driving out yet, lots of nice sized pike action

Icehole9 · « **Reply #87 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 05:03 PM »

I was out today for the afternoon and there was a lot of trucks on the ice, its only 10 inches thick but people see one truck out so they drive on. The ice was making some pretty freaky noises when people were driving around.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #88 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 05:45 PM »

A few trucks here and there wouldn't be so bad...but since everyone likes to pull up right beside someone else I just think It would be too much weight

fishin_crazy · « **Reply #89 on:** Dec 02, 2013, 02:27 PM »

Well how's the I've out there? Heard there has been afew people out there. Any fish being caught? Post pictures for everyone to see.
