GbayGiant Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Wow those are some action filled pics. It can be tough without a gas auger, but you got a workout to go with your burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 well thats to bad you got skunked all winter,where were you fishing all those times,you might have to go over your stratagies,and do a new game plan.. ..were you going real early in the morning,and of course staying for the late afternoon & after dark bite,that can be the best 20mins of the day,sometimes after sundown ya can get em real good .. ..sometimes we will get walleyes 3hrs,after dark and hit 3-4 fish in a half hour,let us know what you were doing and maybe we can help you out a little,....cheers dont give-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Pike Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Thats fishing you get skunked .Sooner or later you will be on to fish.I suggest renting an ice hut.the operators of the huts will put you on fish.I know how you feel about drilling holes yesterday it took me a good five minutes to go through almost 3 feet of ice for one hole to move my son to another location.An 8 inch hand auger requires alot of elbow grease eventhough the auger is new.Keep tryin it does become rewarding .Like fishin Devil says tell us how you are fishing and many people can help.MTP Edited March 12, 2007 by Mike the Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
