Yeah i gotta get out tomorrow and try my new to me 6" Nils. Not a chip of paint off it...looks brand new
ice is fine the shore seems stable fished for a couple of hours this am 2 trout one 25 and one 22.and all the smelt you want.
Just remember three things:1. Let the auger do the work - needs no down pressure; just rotate.2. Don't let friends use it, they will try to use it like a sledge hammer and bend a blade.3. Put cover on when not in use. They are razor sharp and will cut anything near it if you are not careful.
Agreed. Some people don't realize how delicate blades can be. But I still do let some friends whom I trust not to smash it use it l. I just gotta add 1 thing. Just try not smiling while ripping through 2 ft of ice it's almost to easy with my 6 in nils have beat many power augers through the ice with it
I trust my buds...they know better than to set it down hard. Not a bit of down pressure and by the way the Tanaka power head does all the work Had it out this morning, works great. The lakers I caught today were the smallest ones I've caught all year. Figures...get a bigger auger and catch smaller fish Drilled one hole by hand before I put it on the Tanaka and it was almost as easy as my 4" lazer.
Id prefer the north end just the way it is! no crowds
Inflatable Yeti, Fontana19 and I were the only ones off Pilot Knob yesturday, and we HAMMERED the lake trout. Drove all over on the machines. Only problem areas on the ice were pressure ridges and old holes where the water was draining. If you avoided them, the ice was fine. 'twas a great season...even though I couldn't break 300 lakers, I did get 272. Not bad for missing the first two weekends on the king. On to stream trout and everything else!
