Getting Ready for Ice Fishing? - MMDon - 11-01-2010 So . . . what's everyone doing to get ready for the ice this year. New Augers, Ice Gear, Ice Tents, maybe even a new 4 wheeler? I was happy to hear windriver got some new cold weather clothes. I would freeze every time I saw him in that stadium jacket in below zero weather!

The sleeves don't have the same liner as the rest of the suit. I really want to get another fishfinder/flasher. I love my vex, but my kids are always taking it. Probably won't be able to afford that this year. I know Steelfisher is thinking about getting a Nils hand auger. I hope he does so I can play with it.[cool] I hear they cut through ice like hot butter.

I let chrome junky borrow mine once last year and was afraid I wouldn't get it back![] [signature] Re: [MMDon] Getting Ready for Ice Fishing? - jimpete525 - 11-02-2010 Last year was my first year ice fishing. I got a new vex, auger, sled, Arctic armor suite, poles, tent, tackle, scoop. I will buy a new sled and maybe a nicer pole or two other than that I hope I am done for a wile.

[signature] Re: [MMDon] Getting Ready for Ice Fishing? - windriver - 11-02-2010 I need to switch my paddle bugs to better hooks since I am going to hook such big fish this year.[] Windriver [signature] Re: [windriver] Getting Ready for Ice Fishing? - jeremypeace - 11-13-2010 what is a good hand auger that is fairly inexspencive the one I am using now it takes me about 5 min per hole and it wears me out bad after one hole I like ice fishing alot but am a greenhorn when it comes to good gear for it so any help is apreciated... Heck I don't even use ice poles I use short riverpoles instead cuz I don't feel the nesicary for a short ice pole but to each his own right...... But I do want a good auger would like a gass auger but they are out of my budget I would rather a hand auger for the brief exercise haha [signature] Re: [jeremypeace] Getting Ready for Ice Fishing? - idahopanfish - 11-13-2010 There are some excellent hand augers out there now and I hear that Lazer is the best but it is higher than others. Have you replaced your blades? I know on my backup auger, which is a hand auger when I have new blades it is very quick and easy. Especially on early ice. [signature] |
