I turned the aerator on yesterday and made a large opening in the ice where the bubbles were coming up and around that area to ensure as little bubbles as possible make it under the ice. I did it all with a hand auger and axe and it was definitely a lot of work (should have used a chainsaw as recommended). It was -10C (14F) out when I turned it on and made the hole, and ice around it was already melting just a couple hours later. My skating rink is still being maintained since the last big snowfall we had so we'll see if the aerator has any impact on the safe ice in that area of the pond. I didn't get a chance to fish this weekend, but it will be interesting to see if the aerator has any impact on where the fish are hanging out. Thanks again for all the help everyone.
