how many holes

[dairyman]

So how many holes have you guys punched in the ice this year??

I figure between 350 and 400 holes----with a Stikemaster Lazer Mag---good unit!!

[Supercrew]

As many as it takes, and as often as needed....Old Eskimo from my DAD kicks [PoorWordUsage]......

Just my girlfriends... oh sorry, wrong forum!

[Supercrew]

Does she have a sister?

This thread is headed for the "Lubed " or the "Extension" threads.....If you know what I am saying, and I think you do....

[jigginjim]

Only the hole fishing in for now. Give me some time it may change, where did those fish go?

[wildmanp]

about the same as you......but more tomorrow with my strikemaster 224

[wbliceman]

I think i have hit the 500 mark this season on the new strikemaster Solo. I start by drilling 30 holes at a spot then seem to just keep adding more as the day goes on. Never thought i would drill so many!

[Hoffer]

was out this afternoon...sure is thick!! almost all the way down to the end of my strikemaster.

Been out about 20 times this year...so I should have about 150 drilled...but the majority were when the ice was 10 inches or less...drilled about 20 or so the last week when it was the thick stuff.

[Rippinlip]

Honestly,

Maybe a hundred or so , thought I would drill more, but some terrible weather or the spot on the GPS put us "there", really eliminated unwanted drilling fast.

Haven't been out nearly as much as the past few years, but I made up for it some in the last few days. I'm probably at about 100 holes or so for the year.

I was too lazy to fix my power auger so I was drilling with my Mora and Nils hand augers up until a couple of weeks ago when the ice started to get thick.

Hand augering in a permanent house is not the most fun activity. Especially re-drilling.

Probably close to a hundred by hand and 50 or so since then with the power auger.

Only speared in December so the Husqvarna cut a good number of square holes.

[shizzy]

maybe 50.

I have only been drilling 2-3 holes a trip. I found a great spot loaded with Sunnies and Crappies. 95% are too small to keep, but I walk out, punch a hole or two anywhere in the area and hammer them for 3-4 hours. most times I forget to put up my shack. catch dozens, keep 2-3 and call it a day.

Easily over 1000 so far between My gator/nils and Solo 2.5 lazer this season. Should be over 1500 before Im done.

[nofishfisherman]

I didn't get out for the first time until late January. But in the last couple weeks I've drilled about 50 holes. It would be a lot more but I'm drilling all by hand. Drilling through 2 feet or more of ice by hand sure gets the heart rate up so about night is all I can manage.

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

About 350 with my Strikemaster Lazer Hand Auger and around 100 with an old jiffy gas auger

[Fredd]

I would guess that I am over 600 on the season with a 12 year old lazer on its second set of blades in its lifetime (I thought the blades weren't bad, but boy do these new ones cut). I cut 40 more yesterday afternoon.

[bikeoutback]

I have no idea how many I've drilled, more than previous years but still not sure. Anybody know how many holes can be drilled on average on a 3/4 full tank of gas with a Lazer mag 2hp 8"? Or in general any auger?

[BehindtheHead]

i am on my 4th gallon of gas this year. i really should count what you get out of a tank sometime.

[paceman]

Gosh I am way behind you guys. I am guessing about 75-100 holes. I primarily use my permanent. There have been quite a few times where I showed up and the holes are still open from the previous time. It really helps to bank the house really well.....

[Paul Waldowski]

As near as I can figure somewhere around 4500. Some with the Nils and some with a Strikelite.

[hamms-scooter]

I don't keep track of those things. I do drill about 10-20 holes at each spot i fish to fine tune it and really see alot of the water. I have heard that 90% of the fish live in 10% of the water so if you aren't seeing fish you need to move. Sometimes the schools keep circling so then you only drill 20-30 holes that day. Depends on the day...

[tearin' lips]

Well over 1,000 for sure and counting. Strikemaster Lazer mag 8" makes it easy.
