Best method to clean flip shanty before storage
« on: Feb 27, 2017, 07:22 PM »
I check the net and U tube couldn't find anything. Any ideas? My old shanty has a smoky greasy feel.

Cool & dry area away from where the mice live. My clam Nanook had a little mold fuzz on her when I drug her out of the basement this Dec, but a little hot soapy water cleaned it up nicely. Is there many lakes by Lansing to fish? Everytime I go through that area, it's mostly rivers & creeks.

Dawn soap ...bucket and sponge remove the windows ... good  wash and dry ...Armor all the tub and silicone the poles. Some truck it to the car wash .
Give a man a fish he eats for a day .Teach a man to ice fish he has an obsession for a lifetime

Lake Lansing closest lake but a lot of pits to fish. I found a new one at least to me was told water was to shallow gills grubby but it had more water over 15 ft. than under. I only caught 1 dink. That was just as ice was going bad never got back out but will be on my hit list next year. Thanks guys for advice on cleaning shanty.
