Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I think we will look into the Eskimo 8 incher. it looks like a good size for us. we fish for perch and bluegill as well as trout. I would really like to get into the crappie in Glendale but we have not been able to find them during the winter months yet.
great advice about the fuel stabilizer.
as far as the hand auger vs the power auger...we will carry the hand auger for backup but it sure will be nice to go fishing without breaking a sweat making a hole! the biggest benefit I see is the freedom to move about and make new holes without busting our buts drilling new holes. many is the time we have watched with envy while the power guys pack up and move to a new area only to be set up and fishing in a matter of minutes.
