Fishing Hole sizes?

[jkjkoda]

What do you prefer 6" 8" 10" When grandpa use to take us kids it was always 6" holes. I prefer 8" You!!!!!!!

[coombia21]

i prefer 10

[BpAki987]

i like 8 inch holes unless its for a tip up or a cold day then i step it up to the 10.25

[BucksnDucks]

10 in. for walleye fishn, though the lighter weight of 8 in. sure is nice when drilling lots of holes for pannies!

[Flooringuy]

10 for me. Gives me plenty of room for the transducer.

[broman]

I prefer 10, but use 6 because I like to drill alot of holes.

[aanderud]

I like fishing in 10s but I don't like that they take longer to drill and that my tiny feet will fit in one. Those reasons make my favorite all around hole an 8 incher.

Dont remind me! haha Red Lake this year got 1 of my comfy house slippers jus that same way, so I feel ur pain as well man!

I prefer 8, 10 seems really big. Last night my 3 year old stepped in an 8" hole, if that woulda been a ten, she coulda been gone.

you cant beat the good ole 8 inch, works great. Maby use a 6 hand auger in early ice though. Ive never used a 10 inch but i suppose if someone i was fishin with had a 10 inch auger i would use em for tip ups though.

[FasterThanYou23]

I think a 9" is perfect

[stumper]

I like fishing out of a 6 if there isnt a freezing shut issue. Main reason is that I have had some nice fish come off just as I lift them from the water and with the 6 inch hole they dont have room to turn and get away.

[Cold_blood]

8" but i do like the 10s just can't afford an auger that'll do it

[Northlander]

9" would be ideal.

[croixeyes]

9 inch is the way to go.

[harvey lee]

I have yet to catch a fish that would not come through a 8 Inch hole. I drill a seperate hole for my flasher.

I use to use a ten but never found a reason that I really need that big of a hole and its dangerous for people with smaller feet.

Yes, it can turn their ankles or a childs leg can and will fall in.

[pdk511]

ya 10 inch can be especially dangerous when you are packing up in the dark

[smeese]

I have a 9 inch. Good stuff

[paceman]

I have an 8 but would prefer a 9.....

[mrmanners]

9" with the flasher or two 8" works good both ways.

[Chef]

I have 10" and use a 8" manual for backup and early ice...

[BigWadeS]

9" since that is what was on the auger when I bought it

[snoozebutton]

10 in. for walleye fishn, though the lighter weight of 8 in. sure is nice when drilling lots of holes for pannies!

That's what I do but my 10" auger is old and a real beast, that and I need new blades for it. The 8" I bought new last year just for late ice panfishing and when you can't drive out.

[JimBuck]

10". Go big or go home without your cellphone....

[crothmeier]

i got a 9" and is perfect! half say 8" the other half say 10" split the difference!
