Shloim

I have the same set up. I may take you up on the offer!!! My cell # 416 984 0267 text me the details of you don't mind? I've never been to PB

Here are some photos NAW took while out there. Notice me way back in the distance.....lol Very humbling pulling that one man hut. Thanks again Nick it was a great day. I'm all over the sled build. Hope to be using it tomorrow....

Had I great day out on the ice with Nick. Thanks to him I got out and got my first though the ice pike! It was all good except for the torture it was dragging my overloaded sleigh. Starting to work on my smitty today!

I looked at it too , also padsed and paid full price for a finbore 3. Im ready to go now. Just need an invite from some of the pros on here to get the logistics down...

Yes, but that is tonight Chinese food and the movies are our only options

Ok so I went back to the sail website and the green auger was now $95. So I went to Bass Pro and the Fin-bore 3 although the highest price was almost sold out. In fact I got the last 8" they had! So I'm ready to smash some fish Xmas day with NAW!!!!

I mean especially then! the rest of the year usually isnt too bad...

Where are ya going for em? I'm available as it's hard to be a jew on Christmas.. ...

Funny, this came up. First off, if I can get 20 holes from a dewalt xrp I'm good. I have at least 8 18v and 5 20v batteries, (I'm an electrical contractor) not only that, Home Depot had the huge 20v battery on sale for a ridiculous price of $200. So I checked on amazon and it eas for sale for $89.... well they priced matched it. So not only am I good company, but I'm handy and build and wire houses.... So basically what I'm trying to say is "PICK ME! PICK ME!!! when looking for fishing company.

Oh I'll need a lot more than just ice... I couldn't even buy an auger right! The learning curve just got steeper

Oh now I get it! Dang, but they are kinda curved...or is that considered straight? I just got that 8" for $50 at CT. Sail only has the 6" ones left on sale and I'll just get one of those and return this to CT. Now this question is how much do I need the 8" over the 6"?

Lowered the handle, no prob. Dont know about the curvrd bade you speak of, but it works like a charm!!! Now im off to CT to get my refund!!!

So thats the beast all assembled....also good and colourful!

Ok so can tire has a Rapala pro select auger for $79. I picked in up but Sail still has the green one on sale. Is it better at all? I didnt think so, but coud be wrong... Thoughts?

I think I already might know some of them....

So Bass pro has the clam plate on for $60 and they also have a super cheap auger. I actually bought the clam [plate at CT but im gonna go back with the flyer and get it price matched... I also bought a Rapala pro select auger. Cant wait to get on the ice!!!

I don't even have an old one without the spring yet... although I did pick up a drill with new blades and 1 person flip over sled off of a buddy last night. Need to figure out how to remove the handle off of it. Wasn't budging last night. It's a Swede bore... I also found out there are 2 can tires near me that have the drill plate in stock. Now, all I need is Misfish to take me out and show me all his best spots....

I'm sold! Buying the plate,I'm borrowing an auger, stealing the kids sled, and also have a buddy who hasnt used his single flip up in years, have a heater, bucket, some rods and a sweet survival suit thanks to my buddy Joselyn at Angling Outfitters (Full gratuitous plug) and I think Im set and Im gonna try and go get em this year!

I guess I should check my spelling better next time! Sheesh puts an entirely different spin on things....lol

Was wondering because I have a several 18v, even 20v drill for work and access to a buddies augar... also is the plate necessary or do the small adapters work as well?

Me too please

Thanks for tje tips and invite Johnny. I'm trying to make a small tradition where I take my kids on their PA days. Last year was our first and was great, except the ice was lousy and wet. But im not one to often pass on opportunities so let me know when you are going sir! Thanks again!

Like I said I am a complete newbie to ice fishing. But I borrowed a few rods and a bucket from a friend and even have a survival suit. So if ya ever need company or are looking to do some charity work ? Im your guy!!!

So here's the deal I've only been ice fishing twice, both with operators. One was Tim hales and it was great! The other was with another operator my buddy chose and it kinda sucked. Im not exactly ready to just get out there and go get em, especially with impatient kids in tow. So if theres an operator on a smaller frozen enough lake Im in!!! otherwise fairly frozen isnt grabbing me,,,,,lol

Was thinking about the winter holidays, and was wondering where i can take the kids fishing with an operator besides Simcoe, that likely wont be frozen over....
