Your booked with an operator. If it was not safe, he wont be taking you out.
Even after all that rain, we had a super flash freeze here. The weekend is looking nice for walkers and dragers. Sorry sled heads. LOL
I listened to a gasser this morning. Dude, get new blades. I had my 3 holes done and my flip up set in 2 minutes. Sipping on a cup of java while this noise went on. Blimme.
Simon,
If you are going to go this route, do it right the first time. I did my trial and errors. IMO, bottom line is the power first. Milwaukee fuel 2 brushless drill. Second, the clam plate. Now for the auger. Lots of discussion out there about the best. I started with the finbor 3 line. Six and now the eight. I run the eight with no problem. Clam does have a reducing box, but have yet to hear any good things about it. If you clear the hole as you cut, you will be fine. This past Friday, I drilled 15 holes. 18" of ice. I came home and had 3 bars left still on the 5ah battery. With the 8" . The nice feature of the new gen 2 is, it will cut out if it gets over loaded. Saves the drill from burning out. I have a vid from Friday. It,s in my post here.
I find the smaller white fish to be the best for eating. No Y bone to worry about and they clean up quick.
Marked constant all morning long. Singles would come in and leave. When a group would come in, one would take the williams.
Oh I will not give up my eggs and bacon on the ice Bruce. I am allowed to have one bad thing, well maybe 2, wait,3, ah the hell with it. Im eating. LOL
I bleed out a laker this morning. Left it outside the hut for half hour. Brought it back in the hut, so it was out of sight. It flopped once, twice. I smacked it up side the head and said, ENOUGH. yer dead. LOL
Anyone know of any down there ?
I just got a great offer from a co worker.
He is going to the keys and tells me the prices down there are super cheap. I just what to do some www browsing . He will pick up what ever I want.
Steve nice fish. Can you explain why they seem so dark ? The ones we get in open water are almost silver compared to those. Im thinking it,s where you are fishing and their diet. Yes/no ?
I really enjoyed this post. Great write up and the pics and vids were very clean. That rabbit looked like a baby kangaroo. LOL
Like others, thanks for taking the time.
