I headed out from St Williams and put a few clicks on the ATV trying many places from close to shore near St Willy's to 8.5 fow at EC10 and then over towards Old Cut before heading back towards the truck. I ended up icing maybe 20 under 10" and brought home 5 in the 11-12" range. All fish came from two holes...Close to shore near St Willy's in 4 fow and on the southern edge of huts. I think it was 6.5 fow there?
Water clarity - murky everywhere I tried except for EC10 where I could easily see bottom.
Ice travel - ice is excellent for an ATV and the pressure crack out towards EC10 is easily crossed at a few spots.
Ice thickness - this ranged from 10-12" in shallower area's to about 8-9" out at EC10.
As for the auger report, a couple weeks ago I picked up a Clam auger plate that allows you to use your cordless drill with a manual auger to drill holes. These thing's are so nice to use I plan on selling my 10" Jiffy Stealth as I don't think I'll be using it anymore. Using a Ridgid 18v X4 and 6" Fin Bor Micro auger I am able to drill 40-45 holes per battery in 12" of clear ice (as tested on Simcoe).
There is no gas, starting process, warming up, cooling down before transporting, or loud noise with this thing. So small and so much easier to use. Highly recommended!
