Unfortunately no, that was a few years ago.

Jim and I are going to the Croton, MI, Dam to Dam, ice fishing tournament next weekend, we go every year. Hope to catch a nice one there. :cool-blue:

We just use a hand auger like this one.

That looks like a lot of work, why no power tools?

We tried an old gas powered auger once, it wasn't worth the hassle and extra weight on the sled. The hand auger is actually very fast and it's a bit of good exercise.

I'll agree as well, I have even raced a few gas powered ones and won. Not worth it IMHO when you have to buy gas and oil for it plus properly store another small engine. I have a hand one and a small electric one my father had, both start on the first try.
