Epic Winter/Nobody Ice Fishing?

[Rockfish9]

Plenty of good ice now... snow has diminished in the north county leaving good travel on most lakes ..even by ATV... Saturday was the best day of the season... 5 species day including White and yellow perch... Small mouthed bass rainbow trout and large pickerel.. and I had the pleasure of sharing my catch with the resident bald eagle.. or should I say. He stole It!... it should only get better....

I need a freakin auger! Chipping through 10 to 12" on the ponds around here sucks!!! had a perch fest over the weekend but couldn't get to any bass.

Any recommendations for a decent hand auger?

Also I have a question. Where do you want to set your shiners in a generic pond. deep spots? Level shallow beds? or at the sharp transition points?

Thanks everyone. I'll use all the advice I can get. Rockfish9 I always put the shiners close to the bottom... I'll try the just under the ice for one, good tip.
Paul, Roy already cleaned up the pond right by my house, that's the one he made the shark sculpture on. Everyday that week going to work I saw the FL plates and sent him some hate texts ha. But will do, if I can park anywhere that is.
Tony... F you... jk thanks for the call too, good luck today. I'm definitely going to check out the Nils, don't know how much ice time we're going to have left this season, but its march 8th and there's still a foot down here! Decisions decisions...
