Im heading out to gull on saturday, Ill be driving on the lake but I have no worries I checked the ice yesterday and theres plenty for driving. Im picking up a new gas auger and fish cam after work tomorrow (christmas bonus) I cant wait Im done with the hand auger I never plan on using it again. Ill be mostly targeting perch but will have a rod out for pike and burbot. After using my buddies fish tv last year I wont head out without one It helped out that much and kept it exciting for around $100. Im hoping canadian tire can help me out with the auger I seen a nice 8" jiffy there last year I think for around $380 If I find it im done. I rember a day last year when we were going after perch I drilled 23 holes, talk about a sore shoulder, there was 2 feet of ice
so knowing a gas auger is on the way has me feeling a huge relief.
