I met my son Joseph in Logan and headed to Hyrum to ice fish. We got ready to go out on the ice and Joseph says, Dad what are we going to use to drill the holes in the ice? I forgot the ice auger back in Tremonton. Oh, my H___! Luckily Lee's Marina got me in touch with Bear Lake Mack, and he let us use his auger. We fished off the car bodies, but it was almost 11 by the time we got started and by then had missed most of the mornig bite. Joe caught five by 1:30 when we left, mostly planter size rainbows and one larger one. The fishing was slow and my catching worse. I missed every hit and came home with zero fish. Dang. I hate it when that happens. I still enjoyed time out with my son, and it was better than working.
Thanks Rich for helping me out of a bind. I appreciate you going the extra mile to help a BFT member. Acey

Man, leaving the auger has got to blow! Glad Rich was around to hook you up. Despite what his wife says, he is a pretty good guy

It's great you found an auger!
And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who gets skunked at Hyrum!! It was starting to feel personal! heheh

I think I am cursed at Hyrum also. I think every time I have taken Joe there I have done very poor and he catches the heck out of them. I did better than him on the last ice fishing trip to Weston, so I figured it was payback time for him, but I didn't expect him to beat me that bad.
Yeah- using the power auger today got me wishing I had lots of money to spend on all these neat toys. While I was at Lee's Marine I priced out several new and used boat motors. I want. I want. I hope my ship will soon come in with lots of cash. Fat chance of that. I can still dream. Acey
