[scout57]

[XxFISHN4EYEZxX]

If i had some wheels id invest in a power auger but i couldnt imagine dragging one of those around all day

[muskrat bay]

I have a ice gator attacker with a 6" auger. Drills holes all day long. Nice and quiet electric!

[Ice Crazy]

 I would like to find one ware did you get it???

[DeadEyez]

I'm still hand drilling them with the 8". Wouldn't mind a power auger with this thick ice we have.

Went to south launch. Punched holes all over from 28' - 41' . I got the eyes my step kid got the perch. Fished 7- 1:30....

Fished Constantia today.  Got 1 keeper eye right away then a few dink perch.  Moved 6x and finally landed on some fish around 1pm in 25'.  BB4 and I chipped away at them for a few hours and ended up with approximately 2 dozen decent perch and a burbot.  Jiggin raps mostly.

sully...

I left my place in muskrat bay at 5:15 this morning and headed to grassy shoals on the wheeler. I got there and set up in the dark and started to fish. I have to say it was pretty impressive to watch all the fishermen coming out in droves from every conceivable direction around the lake. By 9-10 o'clock there was a solid line of fishermen from dakin shoals west all the way down the backside of the islands past bouy 133. A lot of people moving around but there were a lot of kids having fun. It's amazing how this sport has taking off over the last few years. Great to see!

Awesome job

Hey guys I got a Husquvarna 372xp attached to a 8 inch strikemaster auger, do you think I should start it up or will it scare the fish

[pooch2543]

Only messin, I personally don't like them, too much noise.....but it is a free county and I don't own the lake.

[kchamp]

I've got a 2 cycle power auger that I would like to start using again, its been 3years since I used it. My question is about all the complaining about them, I'd not want to become the bad guy with the power auger. What's  the opinion?

sell it and buy the clam cordless drill adapter, only way to go

[pooch2543]

Taking bets for a date that we see a truck out on the ice?

Would someone pm me direction to where to park to get to big bay? I know to park by a storage area or something, but i do not know the name of it to look it up. Anyone willing to help me out via pm?

I have read through posts and searched the site, but i must be missing the right one to give me what i need

I'm looking for a good panfish spot, the walleye are too much like work lately...

[hardwater61]

Good saw pooch!  372 has lots o power buy I use a little smaller Jonsared for cutting most of the firewood...lighter and easier on the back.

[kchamp]

Its on kellar rd cicero or you can camic rd and park at big bay marina

[apope]

anybody have a street address for Williams beach so I can program my gps for the trip up in the am

[SNAGGER]

  I just bought a 2 stroke strike master lazer 8 inch power auger, but I'm in reasonable shape and haven't fired it up, only reason I bought it is if we get 2 feet of snow, then it turns to slush and refreezes, we could have 30 inches of ice in early march, then there will be a run on power augers and there won't be any around, just thinking ahead, like my monster jigging rap order in November...until then I'll keep being quiet and hand drilling, the ice is hard and thick, 12-16 inches I measured, no reason too not use a power auger if you own one... If I was on a hot hole at 4pm, I sure wouldn't reopen them with a power auger, I'd spud them open the next morning.  Everyone knows I believe noise hurts the bite.

I don't want to start a debate about the cost or effectiveness or how many holes they will drill on a charge but I love mine. Just received the extension for it yesterday. Drills through the ice with ease, is light, quiet, and super compact!

Slow day for me today couldn't pick up a keeper bunch of shorts and 12 jumbos. Marked tons of fish just had all I could do to get them to hit.  Back at um tmrw.

[Racer268]

I use an electric Lazer.  Works great.  It's quiet and can drill enough holes on a charge.  If it runs out, I plug it into the wheeler. As soon as we have enough ice for the wheeler I start using it.  I use a hand drill when I walk. 

[Raquettedacker]

Went to south launch. Punched holes all over from 28' - 41' . I got the eyes my step kid got the perch. Fished 7- 1:30....

    Great job Jeff...  Looks like you had a very good day....

[Guppiekilla]

hand drilling is the only way to go. I've got a 5,6 and 7'' laser augers all depends on the snow, gosh darn clam shanty pulls hard. gotta stay light as possible.  Keep your bar on your saws guys their chain saws made to be in the woods. I will be the clam out in the middle of nowhere away from the crowd
