What size is the cordless drill are you using and battery size?  I modified a 7" Mora that I've been using with my Ridgid 18V cordless drill and am just not impressed by it, don't get me wrong it's way faster than cutting holes by hand.  I'm thinking of going with a 6" nils next year

drilled about 40 holes this morning and I really like it. just the weight of the auger is enough to zap a hole. no need to push down at all. no hangup on the bottom. it pops right thru. a little different than the k drill. I felt nadda when that goes thru. so very close to the same is my review. :)

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
