Went out of Morris Point this past weekend. Ice was all of my 30″scoop, up past my elbow. Estimated at about 43″. Had one 8 inch extension on the Pistol, was down to the plate, with the wheelhouse on the ice (no blocks), before I broke through. Buddy had an ion with one 12″ extension, no problems.
I was up on both Wigwams road and Adrian’s road last weekend. 16 and 17 miles past Pine Island.
They were both over 30”. I didn’t have to use an extension (fishing in portable) but if it was another inch or two thicker I would have had to or if I had a wheeled house.
This is with a strike master 24 volt.
