Nil's is by far the most user friendly hand auger...if I were to buy new power.. I'd buy an Ion.. I own 3 gas augers..so that wont be happening...
set on pinch points... drop offs and weed bed edges... always put one in tight/shallow... also place one just under the ice.. you'd be amazed how many fish you get just under the ice.. especially late in the season..

Hey Johnny give that pond behind my cottage a shot. I have seen some big bass in there in the summer. I'll bet no one is fishing there either. BTW I told Roy L too last weekend at the show so you better get there before him. P.

Fished most weekends and had fun taking first timers out on Buckmaster in Westwood.
Also picked up a pair of snow shoes that made getting to the ice a blast!
Now it's change-over time from ice to spring fishing!

J. park at my cottage if you can get in driveway and walk the short distance to the end of the road and take a short left. Feel free to shovel if you need to.

I have an 8" Eskimo/hand that came with a bunch of ice gear I picked up a while back your welcome to use. First time I used it was about 6 weeks ago up north, 8" black ice and I'm still out of breath! LOL
slush city this week

this last week has had the best icefishing of the season. in my VERY LIMITED experience, I would say the fish are certainly mopre active with the improved temperatures. maybe a few more days before the ice is too sketchy to traverse

finished my season last weekend.. there's still ice but winter wreaked havoc on my property ... too much to do so I am calling it quits... it's hard leaving 30" of good ice but it was a good season...hard but good ..I've got enough white perch in the freezer to last until flounder fishing kicks in...

All done, i made it out on the ice no problem this past weekend off the neighbors dock, it sure looked safe enough to get back to shore, but that wasnt the case. Up to just about the jewels, Muck boots are mighty hard to get off once filled with water.
