MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Not much danger of a Polar Bird hub being blown away~ the insulated floor Velcros to the bottom, ALL AROUND. Anchor as you feel the need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsPsJWYVvJY
Great idea with the Polar Bird.....do they make one with windows ? How can you tell ,if you have a flag ?
Thanks for the replies... Pondered on the insulated models, but since it is nowhere near as cold out here as it is in the midwest, I didn't consider it too long....I will reconsider. Oh ya, I see that Polar Bird is a sponsor here and checked out their units. Dandy stuff, for certain, but a bit more than what I need. Like I has mentioned, we use flip-overs and like to run and gun to find the fish. Figured the hub would be a nice warm up shack on days we are on the ice without hauling our flip-overs. Also, we are pretty stationary at a couple of lakes fishing for lake trout and kokanee. Definitely will re-consider the insulated models... Keep the replies coming...good stuff! Have a question for you hub users... When you use one on a lake with a couple feet of snow, do you just set it up on top of the snow? Shovel the snow off so the hub sits on the ice? Or do you spend the time to shovel off the entire area enclosed by the hub?Thanks,Jim If you are sitting on alot of snow there is a catch.. Dig out the snow and set your hub down, then if you heat too well you end up under water. If you do have to heat dig out a lot extra and cut drains, be prepared to fish with a very wet slick floor anyway.. you may prefer to shovel into the snow cover the skirt and don't heat.. or keep the heat low try not to melt any snow. I have been caught flooded and then the hut will freeze to the ice if you try to cut off the heat once you have melted too much snow.. So that is my experience.. Personally I don't heat when I am in a pile of snow anymore just use all the snow as insulation and wind break.
You don't need to anchor it because the floor has Velcro... Okay
