Keep pulling up to get rid of the snow/ice/slush so the auger won’t get too bogged down. Had to dig a little hole for the drill because the ice is so thick. Extension would have been nice. The road in was sooo bad. I got there before the plow. It’s better now but was still blowing and drifting when I left. The parking lot also had big drifts. A few got stuck. The lake is great. My nephew’s sled is older with a short track and smaller lugs, he did just fine. It is deep but we never hit slush sledding. We were also pulling heavy sleds with big insulated tents and didn’t get bogged down. Fishing was great. Fished in 60 ft, caught them on the bottom and around 30’.
I appreciate the info, sounds like you guys had a great day!! I’m hoping for the same thing tomorrow. Headed south I think so I have an extension to add another 10/12” so hopefully that will get me where I need to be! Wish me luck
