Yup my equipment is Old School with lots of Seniority = Experience = Knowledge = Skill …. I’ll consider that a complement.
November 28 …. got my gear together and went out to Sunbreaker boat launch, bty day, no wind, nice & warm. Brought the steel spud bar, it didn’t go through so I ventured out solo testing the ice for about 50 paces. Auger started first pull warmed it up, X-sharp blades, punched through almost immediately. We need some cold weather to grow the ice, will update on Dec. 9th or 10th.
A few pic’s of the ice conditions.

Sunbreaker facing west to Palm Bay, note very little snow.
Facing southeast towards town
South shore Tower & RR23 in back ground
Lots of geese still hanging around.
As well a pair of Swans … not sure what this means.
Thin ice that recently separated but no ice heaves out here.
Went out 50 paces/Yds.
Only 3 ½” over 4 fow didn’t go any further out, chickened out.
Better pic, with nice bottom for Whites.
