Just wondering if anybody has purchased one of these and if they like it or not and why? They are priced less than the full size Jiffy Pro and comparable to the Jiffy Pro Lite. I have heard the Jiffy Pro Lite (38CC motor) is a bit under powered and wondering if the Eskimo with its 40CC motor will be under powered as well? Thanks in advance for any help.

I was at fleet farm and looked at one. the weight increase is something to consider. they are very heavy. if your young and strong, then it can be added to your work out.

I don't see them as a 1st ice choice. once you can drive then the weight is not as big a deal.

I purchased the JC40 10" and this thing drills great! Smooth and clean all the way through! Used on URL last weekend and around home Saturday! Starts nicely haven't had it bind up in the hole one time, I did notice with mine you don't need to pressure it down into the ice. It sucks itself down, but adding pressure it just cuts right through. It may not be super light, but using it in the house will sure be nice!

      This spring I saw a lot of grouse and even a few broods. I'm hopeful for the upland season. Didn't see a whole lot of mallard ducklings this year but good numbers of wood ducks. I think the Canada geese numbers go up every year.

      My uncle and dad said they aren’t seeing any young birds and not many up north. Bummer Hazel is ready and Finn wants some ducks .

      Just got back from my annual 3 day fishing trip to my brother's cabin.  My dad, brother, nephew and I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday fishing 4 lakes.(Evergreen,  Grace, Plantaganet and Cass.)  Caught lots of sunfish, crappie,  perch and a couple walleye.  Perch on Cass were 10-12 inches. Crappie were mostly 10 to 11. Some 12's.  Sunfish ran 8-9 inches.  Walleye was tough but managed a 14, 15 and 17. My brother and nephew did better than my dad and I. They have much better quality rods and could feel the bites much better, plus they used gulp vs our live bait mostly. They did better using 3 inch gulp than smaller ones as well. I'm definitely investing in a new quality rod. Plus I need to get more confidence on plastic.  Overall a very good trip.

      Fall lake has nobody there and yes you have to use portage wheels to get across. At prairie portage you don't cross the border, so you don't have to go through customs. However right next to prairie portage there is a Canadian customs building if you wanted to enter into Canada. I don't know anything about it other than it is there.

      Grouse season is right around the corner, my Italian 20-gauge SxS sidelock is still available for trade. 25" barrels, ejectors, single selective trigger, great early season grouse thumper, and in excellent condition for a fifty-year-old gun.   Jim

      I was thinking of the fall lake portage,  isn't there someone there too?    Or is it just portage wheels to get boat across? And if you go at prairie portage, isn't that a border crossing, so customs and all that?   I love Quetico BTW
