we only drill 6" holes for crappies, so I'll probably just use my skimmer and have a pail for slushing into.
I did read a tid bit in field and stream once where a guy use inner tubes that were cut and tied off tight to keep holes open, you slide the sleeve in, then inflate it. then you come back you deflate and the hole is open like it was just cut. I don't want to mess with all that though.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
