Had a few hours to kill, picked up my 12 Y/O brother in law, and headed to St. Albans bay to try and get some perch for dinner. Bite was fast, one after another....all tiny, and I mean tiny.
Tried out my new auger on the Milwaukee, worked great! Right untill it came out of the chuck and fell to the bottom in 14’ of water.....
So we ran up to the house and the hardware store and got some supplies. Some rope and a big magnet, and threw the 6” on the drill Incase is drifted on way or another on the way down.
Sent the magnet down the hole and got it first try! Had to get my arm wet, but it came back up topside.
Worst part is I knew better than to run it without some kind of safety piece on it...the 6” has one. I’m a dummy.
But the kid had a blast, so it was a good day.
