Shanty is on the ICE!
« on: Feb 02, 2014, 12:58 AM »
Well I set up the new shanty today and fished all day! I ordered an ice saw and as my bad luck would have it the Post Office Delivered it when I was out fishing!

So the ice hole is rough but will be trimmed up next time out!

Zero Pike and Muskie seen today and speared 5 Perch and caught another 20some keepers!

Here's 2 Pics...

Looks like you are all set. Hope it works out for you, a day in the dark house is always a good day  :thumbsup:.

One thing I would do is try to reconfigure the spear hole. The middle brace has to be a pain. I am sure after a few days of sitting in there you will have a few adjustments to make in the off season. It will make a huge difference once you get the hole sawed out, you will see twice as much real estate.

YES!

-Brace Changed like you said...
-Bench 6 inches lower and 6 Inches wider.
-rod holders for the perch rods,
- roof redone and eyelet that previous owner used to lower it off his Seawall right in the middle of the roof GONE so it doesn't drip on my head...
-2 person limit cause even though it's big 3's a crowd!

But it will work for the rest of this year!  @)

That's the main thing. Get out and enjoy it while the season is going, there is always time to tinker in the off season.
