Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Ice Fishing 2011 - 2012

Here they are calling for highs in the 20's and nights in the teens/single digits until Sat. Then 30's for a high and 50's for a high this coming Sunday.

First time on ice on a larger lake, I let others be the testers. If they are out there, then I think it's safe to go out. On my pond, I take a few steps and drill a hole. Couple more steps and another hole until I get to where I'm going. The Lazer auger drills holes fast.

Another thing to do is carry the auger horizontal to the ice. It will act as a wide wedge, and shouldn't go thru the hole with you as long as you keep holding onto it.
