I have a good buddy in Kansas that trains dogs and has some connections , but thanks.

Hope to see some pics of ducks in that dogs mouth in a few weeks. Very versatile dog for sure, buddy of mine has one and has had a couple at one time. Was thinking about getting one. Lost my yellow lab a few years ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Cable restraints ( snares ) are a great addition to trapping , i wish new york would get on the band wagon. Cable restraints passed the BMP ( best management practices) which is why pa can use them now. Very awesome anytime but late season when things freeze up good they still work.

Come on ice!

Rolmops, I have used the flasher spoon set up quite a bit last couple years,because I didnt know it was mainly for giving a fly action ,until I got on LOU and learned more. But have had good sucess with it early season which is when most of my fishing on the lake is done . I will continue to use it because it works, but I always used about a 5 foot leader from flasher to spoon.My experience is limited so using a shorter or longer leader may be something to try. Couple years back the fish were high in the water column, no marks , just trolling around trying to figure things out,using two flasher /spoon combos on two slide divers letting out 75' and the other 100' on a 3 0r 4 setting , caught kings and lakers up high and close to the boat . Beginners luck but it worked , and from that point on I used it well with different line out for different depths.

Everything is on here, do a search. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for all the input guys, I do believe I cant go wrong with a Nils , Lazer or Fin Bor. maybe a ford ,chevy thing Hey Les ,Have you ever tried your lazer next to the other two augers I just mentioned ,curious is all, maybe some other guys around you had them when you were ice fishing.?

Thanks Les, understood. I have bosch 18 volts i use for work so that parts easy for me. And in case people are not aware , companies are increasing the amps on these lithium ion batteries which make yuge difference. Of course they are more money , but something to think about when the batteries finally give out that came with the drill and its time to upgrade.

Yes good point chowdaire, i did read about that somewhere and the orange model is the drill model with the lower attack blade i believe. I was leaning towards the blue colored hand model and would try it with a drill to see how it works but might be two aggressive for the drill. Saw a you tube vid if i remember correctly the guy drilled two holes in 55 seconds in 18" of ice, wow! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Geoice, i hear they are good , i know sharpening the head is something that has to be sent away , and looking at some videos i may not need to bring the drills, less stuff to bring is always better Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
