I had a nice workout this past weekend fishing up in the lakes region.
Hand augers can cut in thick ice conditions, but it's a real workout with ice that is over a foot thick.
I had the handle extended to the max on my eskimo and ended up leaning over it when I finally punched through.
Luckily I only had to cut 2 holes to start and then again when I moved around, or my arms would be completely shot!
Awesome conditions and a few decent fish were caught on traps and jigging rods.
I may need to get the blades sharpened as I did notice a little chipping (from when I bottomed out on an earlier test hole).
It still cuts, but it could be better/easier with perfect blades.
Just doing some test fishing for the big derby next month.
