My Bright Red Eskimo fat fish 949 is finishing up its third year of heavy use, shes about done. Its been a great popup but the darn thing sticks out like a sore thumb. Hey Eskimo! you know what would be really cool?. a white or snow/ice camo 4 man. you hear that? snow/ice camo, guys would probably buy it just cause its cool! I want it for more practical reasons like not being noticed, and cool is good to. You can put those flashy things on there I guess for night use.
Oh yeah and I want it before next year!
Actually since I'm the one that came up with this great idea you can give me one. I want an Eskimo 949 in snow/ice camo
Thanks
WM

And I have many other great ice fishing ideas, you may want to get in contact with me. Im getting tired of designing kitchens and baths, pounding nails. Hiring?

i snow camo or white one would be a lawsuit in waiting. wouldnt be long before a snow machine runs into one and kills whoever is inside

Man you must think you are something special. I bet everyone must seagull you all the time. Geez, that explains why my son draws such a crowd with his. They think he is you!!!

kinda what I was thinking, but I see his line of thinking. My bright blue clam 6pack attracts other fishermen like flies some days. Im not anti social but I like a little room to fish too.

However a small snow camo pop up would be awesome for predator hunting

HAHAHA!

Bring it on wouldn't expect anything else from IS and especially our lord. If you haven't noticed fisherman are attracted to where other people are fishing than you sir are an.... Well I had to do a little edit here, since I am going to become the most special thing in ice fishing, I better start walking the straight and narrow before I end up like some of the other unmentionables

I see where the lack of visibility could be an issue for manufacturers avoiding lawsuits I was hoping maybe those reflective strips would be enough. I may have to come up with my own, some kind of fabric paint or dye

Dig a pond in your back yard stock and fish it !!I don't see the point of a snow camo, reflectors might help but in a storm you are asking for trouble , but clam has one with some sort of camo....

Haha better paint your saltwater boat blue so nobody steals all your tuna too

perchhauler · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 22, 2015, 03:15 PM »

how about making one with bright safety colors such as blaze orange, with "danger thin ice" and "stay back 100 feet" then you wouldn't have to worry about snowmobiles hitting you and maybe keep the flockers back a bit.

I would like them to make a full camo model that I could use for hunting also. planning on getting the 949i next year anyway.

If his screen name was Lord_of_the_(insert fish name here) I'd agree.

I like it. If anyone has a problem seeing that one, they need their eyes checked.

And to keep other people away from it, do what the other poster said about putting up warning signs "Danger...Thin Ice" !!

Posted signs

Actually i think some sort of camo shanty would look cool

My shanty is snow camo. It's an Otter and that pattern already exists.

Can't wait for the ice to melt.

Nice looking that up now!

HT makes a pop up that has the pattern your looking for. The roof is still black.

ICE_HOOK · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 25, 2015, 04:49 AM »

I have a camo I made out of a old clam as you can see my profile pic" Black top! I I think a white would reflect sunlight and would stay colder on sunny days! My opinion
