I'm ready for some, just saying!

I'm with ya!

we are a long way off! Heck they area long way off in Michigan!! Now that deer season is almost over I'm ready for it too!

Up by Traverse City in MIchigan it was fishable mid last week but they had warm temps and rain. A few weeks away for sure unless the bottom drops on temps.

I ice fished last year more than I had in quite a while simply because I bought one of those adapters to attach my 18V drill to the auger. Went threw 24" of ice in 30 seconds .

I could drill around 15-20 holes on one lithium-ion battery. I have an older Mora auger and a 18V Ryobi drill with high/low. You have to use low or it wont drill.

So, heck yea bring on the ice.....h.h.

My son in law was catching fish on the ice near Traverse City, MI last weekend.

I'm ready.

Nope…..Not going to have ANY ice this year. Going to be dry and in the 50's all winter. Sorry guys, but last winter kicked my azz!!!

I want some ice then I can make fun of h.h. And Arby's

But last year you caught Arby's

Boy.....talk about an insult.. and to think I thought you were a nice kid h.h.

We will see who makes fun of who..... :p h.h.

You might as well surrender

what size auger??

can you post a link?

I have the drill already...

Fished northern Michigan last year when we had 30" of ice. Son in law had one of those fancy rechargable electric ice augers and I wasn't too impressed.

Grant it, 30" of ice is extreme, but we could only get about a dozen holes with a charge. No doubt you could get bunch thru 12" of ice.

If you have to do any serious augering, I'd go with an LP or gas powered unit. No question that you will have adequate power.

Another thing to mention. For panfishing, hand auger work go with a 5" or 6" auger. No need to cut larger holes, an 8" auger is a heck of a lot more cutting. I'd like to find a 5" rig.

I believe my auger is a mora 7" and my ryobi drill is 3/8" but they recommend 1/2" but my drill worked fine. Drill must be 18V or bigger and have a high/low switch or it wont work.
I bought my adapter at a local bait shop and paid less than $20.00. h.h.

Boy those 100 blugills taste good that I caught ice fishing today......

So wheres the ice? I'm sure you didn't leave the state

So where the pictures?

Don't count if there no pics

Forgot my camera.......... h.h.

Yeah you did

You've gotta phone right?

My new phone wont transfer pictures to my PC. You know I wouldn't lie to ya...!!!!


Thought about going today but decided to make another 10 lbs of deer bologna....its better than Arby's..... h.h.

Need to get Luke skinning and fleshing those coons and beaver. Less time for him to trash talk you H.H. haha.

You lied by saying you know I wouldn't lie you ya! why won't the pictures transfer? Do you have a grandpa phone

Yep....old style grandpa phone. Need a blue tooth in order to transfer pictures.....one of my teeth is black , think that would work... ???

Well good job catching no fish

Love it! I can't wait to be cleaning a few gills from the ice!

We need to hire Hornharvester and IT guy! LOL, I put all my dad's trapping pics up! He sends me a text and i take it from there, someday i will get paid!


HAHAHAHA, as you can see above i was still logged in as him! LOLOLOL!

The battle is on h.h.

I was looking at my pond today and it have about 1/4" of ice....wont be long now until the fat lady sings!!!! h.h.

Wait your a lady?

I bet that Ice is gone now

Most likely is but Im to lazy to walk down to the pond to find out....

I figure about the time you have to go back to school the ice should be good enough to fish......bummer for your side.. :p h.h.

Getting cold for the next few days! Hope it stays that way!

Ive got a Mora blade sharpening machine I inherited from my father. He and I use to sharpen blades for many bait shop owners here in NE Indiana. I have to do a little work to it and test it out but Im thinking on sharpening Mora blades again especially since they are selling for around $30 for a new set.


Luke dont stand a chance this year! h.h.
