Hey I am here to say drilling through 2 feet of ice with a hand auger is not for me I would have died yesterday fishing and 4 inch is to small I like at least 8 inch auger and anything over 6 to 8 iches of ice is considered safe to drive on with a 4 wheel so with 10 you should be more than safe

Thank you all for the help so far using the quick strike rig and the changing sets more often I managed to put 7 pike on the ice and 6 walleyes all caught on tip ups. And to many yellow perch to count weighting on tip ups using a jigging rod we kept 150 of the biggest ones nice not having a limit on yellow perch in most of Montana

Thank you James holst for the tips on bait the rigs and time of
day I am anxious to use this information on Saturday
