Cutting ice with pole saw

[Tracker22]

I am wanting to do some dock shooting and was wondering if a gas powered pole saw would work for cutting 3"-4" ice.

anyone ever tried a pole saw?

How does cutting a hole in the ice let you shoot docks? I'm confused

[Tracker22]

I'm fishing from the dock and I want to cut holes larger than an auger hole. The ice is too thin to safely walk on so a ice saw will not work. I am wanting to cut like a 4'x4' hole. I've seen people using regular chain saws but never seen anyone using a pole saw. The pole saw would give me the reach I need to access some sets.

You'll stay dry that way, but does Il. have a max hole size that can be drilled? If its your dock, put in a bubbler

[Tracker22]

Your right 12" max. dia. hole. I didn't know that.

Whose going down there to measure? Pole saw should work fine.

3-4 inches is way more than you need. We start with 2.
