Based in Illinois, Daniel Ahasic is a community-focused professional who engages as a paramedic and firefighter with the Aurora Fire Department. With a passion for outdoor activities, Daniel Ahasic enjoys wintertime pursuits such as skiing, ice skating, and ice fishing.
One key piece of equipment when fishing on a lake or pond frozen over is the ice-fishing auger. This allows the angler to drill through the ice surface and create a clean hole that enables a fishing line to pass through and is big enough for the catch on the line. There are several auger types to choose from, including manual types that enable hand drilling through the ice. Portable and lightweight, these durable pieces of equipment require physical exertion to operate but have no issues of power source or noise to contend with. By contrast, gas-powered augers are noisy and powerful, which risks scaring away the same fish species you are after. Like their quieter propane-powered counterparts, they also require the hauling of bulky liquid fuel containers to the fishing site. One non-manual alternative increasingly utilized by anglers is the electric ice-fishing auger. This is relatively quiet and may be used safely in cabins or fishing shelters. However, it relies on extended battery life to be effective across hours and days of regular use.
