John,
I have to totally agree with you on the Nils. I've tried them all and they don't cut as well as the Nils. They all wore me out after drilling 20- 40 holes but not this little gem.
Don't even use the gas auger anymore, they are nice for speed but don't like messing with the gas and extra weight.
My auger is a six inch and is even easier than an eight, plus the bigger fish can't turn around in the 6.
Take the plunge and good luck!

My son 13 and I had a great day Sat. for his first trip on Erie.
Biggest was 10.5 and smallest was 6.2 caught seven and lost two.
5mi. NNW out of Perry in 20ft of water. Buckshot rattle spoon in perch colors tipped with a minnow. Just past the third pressure ridge north.
When the fish showed on the Vex they bit without hesitation.
Best day ever because I shared it with my son.
The walk was well worth it.

The run has been amazing last week to now. Lots of limits coming out, I limited 3 out of five days.
A lot of trash fish moved in quick with the warm water, did some moving around island until I found a good area with less suckers.
Tried Orleans side and just didn't seem to have the same bIte going, moved back to island and slayed them.
Good luck to all it only gets better from here.
JM be patient you will start to get the feel for the fish.
We do need another good heavy rain to bring up water level to push another wave of fish in.

Fisher 19,
Right you are about the braid! It sucks especially later in the season when there is more in the rocks from breakoffs.
All you need is 8lb low stretch good abrasion resisstant line and you can hawl in the 20lb carp.
The Carolina rig is the way to go for most guys, it covers more surface area with the floating jig anywhere from 24 -48" below weight.
JM add your thoughts on colors, I dont get into changing colors, I've used bright orange head and chartreuse metal flake 3" twister tail for years now.These two colors are what eyes see best but the water is always muddy and you are just trying to float you jig down into a yawning eyes mouth.
It is a great time as long as you are in a good group of guys that know what they are doing. other times it gets frustrating as hell.
Hopefully when they get cranking you can hook up with JM or me.

JM,
that sounds like a plan, I have been fishin the run since 2001 and am always looking to learn more about the river and share what I have learned about the river.
PM me and we can hook up to slay some eyes.

JM,
I think the water was a little cool yet, tried in the AM need to wait till afternoon to get water up a couple of degrees.
I will hit it a couple times this week and see if I can find them.
The water looked great, good flow and clarity!

That's bad news.
Everyone be patient for safe ice it is not worth it.
Remember that the ice thickness charts are for perfect ice conditions, clear is perfect, any discoloration means it has to be thicker especiallly with all of our gear we like to haul around.
Hard lesson to learn.
Be safe
