Well... Headed down to coal today. Cold, windy, snowing = no fun setting up :(
But i did get to try the new Jiffy today.... MAN O MAN, Best investment i have ever made. I hate hand drilling.
As far as fishing we started in around 15 FOW and caught 4, then when the action died we moved to 6 FOW. Didn't land any in 6 but got lots of missed hooksets (I was eating, making hot chocolate and fishing at the same time :sHa_shakeshout:)
Using minnows on a jighead, pike weren't too aggressive so we moved from spoons to jigs.
Overall good day, Except the auger started great the first set of holes, started after ALOT of crap the second set (primed it, choke, pulled 50+ times before we could get her to fire up :mad0030:), Tried to move again and it wouldn't start! Brought it home, warmed it up the in garage for half an hour and it started up on the first pull. Also it was happiest with choke on halfway but once it idled for a couple min's you could shut it off no problems.
Happy with the auger but it needs some adjustments, Which im not sure how to do :sign0161:
Tight lines!
