Shack through ice on Kennebunk Pond (still floatin)

[maineduckhunter]

kdcon and pheonix if you look at my other post on this matter i gave solid advice on what to do
it also appears to me that the owner hasnt asked for help
and trucker was in a different situation he didnt neglect his shack /lake
just  the way i see it ymmv

NEGLECT is the Key Word here.....I also give NO sympathy to someone that doesn't take care of there shack!!!

Mine went to the bottom a week ago in 13 inches of water on the beach, Im glad I pushed it in when I did.

It was high and dry 18 hours earlier, but the rain destroyed the beach. (launch)

Being able to have an ice shack out is a privilege and also a responsibility. I gladly would have helped him a week ago but it is way too late now. Apparently the responsibility was too much for him. I went out and got BOTH of my shacks in on shore, its just what you do when you put shacks out. Its a job in itself. Like MDH said no sympathy here.

[kdcon]

 Thank You. My questions have been answered. It sure seems like " skippy " is not very responsible.  Yes, putting a shack out is a big responsibility that should not be taken lightly.  One thing to get caught w/ your pants down but quite another to not care if your pants are down.  That bout of weather last week sure got a lot of us scrambling, a least we scrambled.  Now I can watch the skippy circus and enjoy the show    kdcon

Well I don't know what others would have done, but last week I went and hauled mine off a small pond where I had it. There was one other left on the deteriorating ice with an address on it from a fella more than 50 miles away. After I got mine off I went back and hauled his/hers up on shore. Don't know if he's gonna' be upset with me about doing so but I haven't got any nasty  messages from him yet

[gunrunner]

I hauled three ,yes three, shacks off the ice from variouse lakes the past week.....It's a lot of work....If you don't have the sense or the time to maintain it,you shouldn't do it.....

[Bout-Time]

Mighty sportsmanlike of you Phoenix, you should get a 30 pack of your choice on your doorstep.

We took 3 yes three shacks off this mornin with no problems at all. Two off Kennebunk and one off of Horn in Acton. I'll post some pics later.

 KS, good job.  Mine is ready to hook up and roll.  Only 1.5 miles out on lake thru 18"++ 0f snow & slush.  Love a challenge  ( pic taken before the snow )
 Question, do you winch your shacks up onto the trailer ??  kdcon

There winched for sure, especially the big one. Good luck with yours. If I was closer Id love to set some traps and give you a hand. Ice fishing is an adventure for sure.

Hey I think I know you.Kurt I believe? Met you years ago when FastFred and Joe worked for you. Where abouts is your shack ,18 in. of snow it must be in a colder area than southern Me. You must still have plenty of ice up there to finish off the season?

[JimmieDean]

All this, and they were set up on a pond that is slower then Slowbago.

For my 8x8 instead of a winch I just empty everything out and tip it up on its back edge of the runners and back the trailer under it, then drop it on.....a lot easier and faster then a winch...just my 2 cents... 8)
