Ok, so I'm new to this. Can't seem to find a power auger that I can afford just yet. I have a hand auger but it doesn't do well on Erie ice. I've tried the cordless drill route and that was a total failure. I'm considering bringing my small generator and heavy duty power drill to punch holes through the ice. Has anyone tried this? Thoughts from the experienced ice fishermen? I'm really trying here so your input is greatly appreciated.
