Setting up a popup

[Stump17]

What are the thoughts about setting up a popup the night before going out to mark a spot on a lake, that you are going to fish the next day?

If your state doesn't have overnight/unattended shelter restrictions and you aren't worried about somebody stealing it, I'd say go for it.

I believe you just have to make sure you have the required owner info visible on the shelter along with adequate reflectors detailed in NH RSA 211:17-a.

I have left mine out overnight without any issue.

Also needs reflective material on all sides

Anchor the heck out of it too.

In my opinion an unoccupied shanty does not "claim a spot".  Same deal for an unoccupied hard side.

Just get up earlier…….🧐🧐🧐

Correct it only claims the footprint of the house/popup.....

There's an idea

I’ve done it, marked with first and last name anchored well and with reflectives. But it was pretty far out on the main lake and I still got to my spot early. Was just one less thing haul out for the derby.

I know a guy (most of you do too) that use to post here, that did just that for the derby with his pop up.  One of the handiest guys that posted in NH...no one gave him crap for it.

Depending on the area, I'd be worried about it disappearing.

They folks were streaming in last night on winter harbor and 19 mile bay. Lots of lights out there setting up shelters and saving their spots. Careful if going to wolfboro bay that ice looked scary yesterday
