Took me a minute to wipe the drool away so I could type this!!!!!!!!! SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!

Guess I should have just got the 6"...oh, well, I need the exercise anyways

Six inch, would be pushing it for lakers. That's the reason, I went for the 8"...some of those Simcoe "greys" can get pretty darn fat.

Just picked up an 8" Fin Bore III last week, works like a charm. If you fish mostly for panfish and or walleye, get the 6". Personally I stayed away from used, augers aren't really that expensive...well, the Nils gets up there, but, I figured for $89.99 I was buying new.

Nice Rich!! Good day of solitude, and, fish.

Nice feed of perch!!

He might with Juli's help Juli heard me laughing, said only if you don't have that behemoth of a battery!!!!!!!!!

Hurry up and get healthy "pneumonia boy"!!! We'll get you out there for a skunking too, lol!!! Nah, next time we nail them!

Great, informative, post!! Lakers truly are made for ice fishing!!! Congrats to the GF on an absolute beauty!

Having fun is what it is all about Geoff. Good that you guys had a good time in cold conditions.

Ouch, on the back. Nice on the lakers. Looks like the herring are coming back, big time...should start seeing some really big lakers in the next few years, I would think.

Think you are "bang on" with why you had more hits, Rich. On a wicked cold front day like yesterday, they sure aren't moving much...so it pays to find them. I had a little spurt of decent action, in the first location...must have tried almost everything I had in my ice fishing tackle box, but that was it. Sure was cozy in the hut, though, lol!!

Love mine, too. The only drawback is if two guys the size of Brian and I were in it with fishfinder, heater, etc...it gets a bit cramped. The set-up/stability/transportability are great!

Very nice!! Should have used that angle for quitting smoking two and a half years ago, maybe I'd have a bigger boat

Go get 'em, Vince. If I didn't have to work, I'd be up for it.

That's a big no, Vince. Can only keep panfish out of there during hardwater season.

Added Photos Ryan, Averie, and Juli...with Rich rushing out to nail some fish, way ahead Ryan trying to get Averie to drill another hole for him... Rich, fishing and praying, lol! Changing spots Ryan, Averie, and Rich Me having fun with my new auger Juli in the hut, finally figured out why we had such hard luck, today, was that pink/black Leafs toque she was wearing Juli did lose a really nice perch at the hole shortly before we left. We'll get 'em next time, guys. By the way, Ryan, thanks for picking up the minnows today!!!

Thought he was talking about me!!!!!

Thanks, Ryan!! We still had great time. By the way, Juli needed that exercise...insert image of me ducking, lol!! I'll add a few pics in a little bit. Rich kicked all our butts, he deserved it for being out in the elements all morning/early afternoon!!

So what your saying is...you got perch, lol!! Still better than a day at work, Terry!!

The nice thing about ice fishing is the "cadillac rods" are still cheap. But, I know what you are saying.

Interesting alternative. How's the weight, do the legs rust?

Yeah, I've seen that one before! Pretty slick, not exactly light weight, but, a cool idea.

Not bad!!
