  1. I happen to decide on a Milwaukee which are pricey but you can do the small with a less expensive drill and the E-Drill I do believe should retail up here under $200 CAD. And I don't miss the gas smell either! LOL
  2. I've had my HT E-Drill setup out on the ice for about 6 trips and am thoroughly impressed, not really sure why anyone would deal with gas augers anymore. I've drilled up to 60 holes on a trip and still had half the charge on my battery. I have it attached to Milwaukee Fuel 18 Hammer Drill on a Clam Auger Plate. You can use it without the auger plate as it does come with a handle as well but I really like the feel and grip that I get with the plate. I have a 9Ah Lithium battery that I use with it and haven't been able to drain it yet. This past Mon. we were drilling through 16-18" with no effort whatsoever. Check out the first on-ice test of it!
  3. Finally got out for some Whitie action, saw quite a few on the Garmin unit and few co-operated! The ones that did bite on a Meegs(Surprise) and the NEW Freedom Blade Bait! When we moved into shallow water (28FOW) for some perch, I lost a Whitefish that was probably close to double digits on a Slab Grabber. Interestingly enough and maybe we can get some feedback from other Simcoe ice anglers, every fish we caught had no fin clips so I'm assuming that they're naturals! Fought it for a long time on 4 lbs. test and of course lost her right at the hole! LOL Got to test out my NEW Striker Climate Suit and I love it, very comfortable, warm and lots of practical features plus the security of the flotation. If anyone is looking for a new Floater Suit I would definitely recommend this brand! Gonna do a video on it shortly, will post it when it's done.
  4. That's very sad, hopefully they had enough insurance to rebuild soon!
  5. Again I've only been in one as a passenger and I thought it was pretty tolerable but that was on some pretty smooth ice so I can't vouch for other terrain. Look forward to your report after trying one out!
  6. I have actually seen a photo of a 17 1/4" perch from Simcoe unfortunately they didn't weigh it, instead it was eaten. Would have been interesting.
  7. Should work great in an insulated Otter! I was in a 4 man model last weekend with a regular Buddy Heater on a 5 lbs. Tank and you could crank it up like a sauna in there! LOL
  8. It was a very busy show! There were great crowds for the seminars and Troy Landry was a hoot! Fun times!
