Thats alot of holes in 36″ of ice.
I have one of the original Ions ….their claim then was 40 holes in 12″ of ice. I still use the original battery but do have a back up. It works good for northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin….but if I lived where I got 3′ of ice I would have a gas or propane.

Interested Todd…..still avaliable?

Northeast Illinois

I can send you some pictures but it won’t be for a while. I won’t be home til late tonite.
Yes it is a tucr.

I have a 35″ split grip w/ an Eagle Claw inline. If your interested…..

Home Depot sells a paint for outdoor things like piers. Can’t remember what it is called. I did the floor of my enclosed trailer. Works great holds up well. You can pick whatever color you want….I want to say it was called deck over paint. …

There’s a 26″ Fenwick elite in the classifieds for 20$ ….Duluth Fish …

NYF Ginger Ale is great. I found it a little strange at first…..but gave it a second chance. …try it…

You guy are gonna make me get a new rig. I have a company van so I don’t use my truck a real lot….week ends mostly. I just bought a new trailer for ice fishing. 14 x 7 w/ 5′ V nose all aluminum. Mainly would like the camera for hitching her up. I ain’t 25 years old any more. Thanks for the info…..

I believe that Interstate Battery also has blemished batteries for a discount. I have one in my 2500…so far so good…..

I can’t see drilling 8″ holes with the cordless. It can definitely be done but you will smoke the drill after a while. I’d keep the ion if you have a hard house anyway. Just watch opening old holes with the ion ….you will snap a blade…happened to me twice.

I recently had the opportunity to fish a lake that has big gills not quite that big but damn near. Just an absolute blast to catch them bulls. Lots of head shakes n circles……

I would not suggest reopening old holes with the Ion. it will cost you sooner or later. It likes to snap one of the blades in half. It has happened to me twice since I’ve owned it.

Looks like the Dave’s are all over it……

Think I would just call the DNR on him anyway. All he is going to do is dump them somewhere else,but look for a camera. He won’t learn anything from not getting some sort of penalty. My 2 cents….

That’s awesome. ….you sir have done a fine job with that boy…keep up the good work. ….tight lines….

No….don’t have a permanent shack….Thursday afternoon was my first venture out….brand new set of blades. Fished yesterday all day and today all day.

Northeast Illinois (McHenry county ) 6 inches good ice. Was out today for a few hours til couldn’t see any more. I’ll see how much is on Pistakee in the morning.

This rod still available?

Is there anyway to tell if he is fishing with another person or 2? I don’t like a poacher as much as the next guy…..

nice gilberts……I’m jealous …..no fishable ice here in northeast Illinois.
High of 17 next Monday……hopefully be out Friday after work time.

I like the ad after the video. All it needs is a raft option. ……

Nice Haul……

I also have an Ion (no reverse). This is my third or fourth season with it. I broke down and picked up a new battery for this season. I have worn out that ring at the bottom and one side has broke with the other side not too far behind. It’s at the fabricator getting beefed up now. If I was to pull the trigger on a new auger it would definitely be that Honda four stroke. …..

Cant make it till Saturday…..hope yous guys still have some Commanders left.

Correct me if I’m wrong….for some reason I thought that the cup on the end of the rod was soldered on? ???

You sir have a piece of rust / debris jammed in the ballcock. You can remove the ballcock and try to clean it out…..or go get a universal ballcock and live happy. Do your self a favor and get a long 3/8″ supply tube or flexible one…..hook it to your water supply and flush it for three minutes or so into the toilet bowl or a bucket of some sort.

I still use the Diamond jigs all season long. Go to Custom Jigs and Spins web site. Order whatever color and size you like…..price is right there…beats driving round to all them stores. Do your self a favor and pick up a couple small copper colored tungsten jigs from here. I think its free shipping on orders over $80……

Thourogood boots out of Wausau Wis I believe. I was a huge Red Wing fan until I tried these. No break in period at all soft from the get go. Made in the USA….
I too am on concrete or in a ditch all day. No complaints here. You can definitely stay under 2 hundo.
