I heard from someone that they make a 2.5 inch auger. This would be perfect to drop a transducer into. Anyone know where I can finf one?

It might be a neat idea but I'd think against it. Putting a transducer into a hole that small would be asking for trouble.IMO I've had them freeze to the sides of holes much bigger and they're no fun to get out. 2 1/2 " hole might freeze shut entirely.

Why would that be nice? Then you would have to carry another piece of equipment unless your fish are than small that they can fit in a 2.5 hole.

I have a small 3” Mora that we used to carry around just for a transducer hole. Would drill a 3” between my two holes and never have to worry about pulling the transducer or getting tangled in it. Never had the transducer freeze in it and have always used it in my shack. It was pretty slick when we did use it but now it’s just that additional piece of equipment I don’t want to drag with me. Seems like I have enough stuff in my shack already. Pretty soon my sled will be looking like Duffmans!! LOL!!

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
