To all, ITS STILL SNOWING OUT. The ice will be no better than it was last weekend. Prob. Anothet foot of snow on top. Sorry had to do it .
Love this idea but others didn't seem to take the hint ..i still see them goggley gooking like old woman on the ice conditions and report page which ticks me off
finally a BS board with any luck the guys bickering in the reports board will just go away.. I mean come here and free the condition s board up. As always it is snowing we are expecting another 4-8" general snowfall before the lake effect gets cranked up again. The snow is deep the slush sucks, but the fish are still there. It is getting annoying in the reports section having a couple people report the conditions and then 2 posts later someone asking exactly what the report reported. Snow is deep drag is tough ice is decent none of this is gonna change anytime soon.
Nice rig Nate! I had a very similar set up for my 5600 until I switched to a guide. In heavy snow dragging by hand you'll want it higher I think. I had 10 " of ground clearance and on Chautauqua it still plowed snow. I love that you can use machines on the lakes in NY. PA is so much of a pain with the fish and boat commission and the DCNR having rules and regs. They just blame each other when you complain and nothing ever changes. Next week looks like when the snowmobile hits the lake for fishing. I don't charge as much as Nate for the ride back! lol
Thanks, love my 5600 so had to come up with some way to drag easier. I used it last week at Mayville drag was so much better. As long as there is a path I think the height is fine. Nice to be able to ride on the lake for sure. Have to have tags, ins, helmet and tow bar if towing...The drag back is always the worst The reports page is out of control. I can't believe how many ppl can't do the research.
Nate, did things change from last year? Last year I was told that the tow bars were only needed if people were passengers in the towed sled. That way we were able to help out a few older gentleman that were struggling to pull their huts. We just connected the ropes and pulled 3 or 4 huts at a time. Did some one say something different to you?
The tow bar / direct connect is the rule only if someone is riding on a towed sled/hut. Otherwise, a rope is fine.
