ice thickness??

[freshcut]

Planning on getting out tomorrow to Eagle Lake (the one near Strathmore), and haven't been out on the ice for awhile. With all this cold weather does anyone know how the ice thickness is? I only have a manual auger with no extension. Will I get though? Thanks

No fish in Eagle lake.

Thanks, but that's not what I asked.

Sure, but why go out to a place an die of an heart attack trying to drill through 30" of ice with a hand auger when there aren't any fish or hardly any to worry about.

Because I know that you're wrong, and there are still a few in there.

Lots of buzz on Eagle the last little while. Seems like people think this is 5 years ago! Oh well, for your reference, there is 30" of ice in the area so I don't see why it wouldn't be different.

Heck, if you search on here, last week there was a thread about it. Lots of heated debates and many a PM....

When you heading out?

Hey Chris, are you still planning to head out there on Wednesday?

Well I have to see what all the hub-bub is with this place, so yeah, so what to go?

[Bound2Fish]

You heading out tomorrow? What time are you planning on going?

I would say you are getting very close to max on a standard auger. I had about 2-3 inches at Sundance last weekend... Closer to shore it will be thicker.

Did you go last week? Any luck? My bro was out a bunch this year - thats his shack on the south side - he is so pi@@ed he wasted his time putting it out there, zero fish zero hits. I told 'em.....

I'll give you credit for the "can-do" attitude but at some point reality has to be taken into acct. THE PLACE SUCKS!!
