so this was my other 4th of July week end project. She thinks I need some sort of ice fishing 12 step program for working on this stuff when its 80* and humid.

I tell her its how I go to my happy place when its so dam hot.

Tell your wife You don't need any help, we think you are doing quite well all by yourself! Good looking project!

You sir are my ice fishing god!

Good looking modifications should help make your ice fishing more enjoyable. Like many other members of this website you are addicted to ice fishing. Tell your wife by doing projects like this now you will be a little claimer as the next ice fishing season gets closer. There will be less last minute rushing to wrap up projects. Keep up with any items on her honey do list and encourage her to find a hobby/activity she can be as passionate about ,also spend time together as a family.

There's nothing wrong with you, tell your Wife it's therapy for ice fishing withdrawal.

nice going never to early to start those mods

I don't see anything wrong with what you're doing, tell her it could be worse, you could be sitting in a bar all day. That should cure her.

Wow, what a great set up you have there...

Rebelss · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 09, 2014, 07:34 AM »

With your skills, build a giant "Hamster ball" and let her roll around in that while you're working on the good stuff....

Better to do it now than later. I always seem to start my projects in about October and by the time I am finishing them it's November and I'm freezing my nuts off in the garage trying to finish them up.

Yeah, just Google Hamster Balls and see what you get...har har...Seriously, there is everything right about the way you think. It's inspirational. I might drag the Nanook out in the yard this week and sit in it just because your pictures look so good. I don't even have a mods project. I'll just sit in it and sweat and drink me a cold one while Boner stares in disbelief.

Yeah, you sick bastid

Looks great man! I assume you have some bungee system figgered out for holding the buckets down.

Have you ever tried Maidstone for winter lakers?

williev18 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 09, 2014, 06:01 PM »

never been up to maidstone on ice. Camped there a few summers back but didn't catch much. I may drag the boat up some week end soon. Thanks for the support guys, I figure id rather be getting everything in shape now not rushing to do it in the very short period when I have to pull the duck boat because the water is a little to stiff and when its stiff enough to fish on it

Looks great at least I'm not the the only addict

bart · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 10, 2014, 05:33 AM »

I have a 6 step program, it will help you get those Ice Fishing projects done in half the time of a 12 step program, hope this helps.

Nice setup BTW!

Just studying your pics again, noticed the drill plate on the auger. Is that store bought or home brew? I have been running the cordless drill auger set up for a few seasons now and methinks the auger plate would be the cats pajamas.

PerchFace · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 10, 2014, 09:11 AM »

pretty nice mod! was making a bench for my refuge 2weeks ago with my pops. my wife wanted to lock us out! she pinches me everytime I even say ice! nothing wrong with being ready

masoneddie · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 10, 2014, 10:00 AM »

My wife has made the comment before to me, that it took an Icefishing site, for me to finally get with the times and learn how to use a computer!!

Can't help but laugh and agree.....so here I am.....getting with the times, learning the computer on a daily basis!!

LOL my wife says the same thing when I tell her I'm going out to cut wood... Looks good Williev18 best to do it before the season so it's ready to go.

Girlfriend says I'm crazy too, Had the auger out and checking poles.

Chris338378 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 11, 2014, 04:08 AM »

My Wife doesn't even say anything since she knows how I am and I won't change.

Eyes R Bitin · « **Reply #28 on:** Jul 11, 2014, 10:36 AM »

Hey Williev18, I agree with your wife. You do need help. Would you like me to field test that setup for you this season. Just to make sure it all works out?

I'd be glad to help.

Looks like you did a fine job!!!
