"Other than drilling 1 1/8" holes for salom poles... no !"
Not sure if that was meant to make me laugh or not but it did. To clarify, if no joke was intended, I have seen a few fishin' shows use a cordless drill attached to a ice auger (6 inch, but as my wife insists, I'm not a good judge of size). I'm not willing to haul a gas auger out but thought this might be an option. I would have thought that keeping the battery warm would be an issue, not to mention the power needed for multiple holes on think ice.
