All nighter
« on: Dec 07, 2005, 07:24 PM »
Im thinking about staying all night in the shanty and fish, and bring out a cot, some warm blankets, and a heater, and fish all night if i dont fall asleep. Has anyone else done such a thing, or am i just crazy? ;D

yep did it 3 times now the sleeping bag doesnt keep u warm o nthe ice when theres no snow to insulate you a lawn chair works alright i guess 

the biggest problem i have with sleeping on the ice is i always want to fish all night even when theres nothing to fish for in the dark


carbon monoxide yeah the one night i think i passed out from carbon monoxide not from being tired

In Ontario it is quite common. Lake Nipissing & Lake Temagami areas have operators who specialize in renting overnight huts. Huts are heated with bunks, cooking areas, tables ect. Some also have TV's & BBQ's.
I have pic's from a few years ago that I will attempt to post later today. I have to scan them first.

Done it 3 times in my fish trap, Fishingking was there too, in his shappelle. None of us really slept, just kept fishing all night.    Drank alot of redbull and beer.  Went through a bunch of propane for the heater and lantern. Ice fishing for 24hrs straight :cookoo:. Leave it to stupid college kids ;D  We were holding our spots for a fishing derby.  Its fun, but I really don't plan on doing it again unless I put out a permanent shack at some point.

Open the vents, plus if ya have the Buddy it has an auto turn off for low oxygen if I recall correct...

Wwweephhh...  I think I'd have a lot of gut-rot after drinking both of those... I guess for me it'd have to be one or the other.  Then again - too much red bull and I'd be too wired, too many ML's and I'd be too buzzed!!! I guess we don't live in a perfect world for beverages out on the ice!!!  ;D ;D ;D

We have retired guys up here in MN, that live in their fish house the majority of the winter.  Dominoe's delivers on Mille Lacs.  I have slept in the shack many times, but I still get a little freaked when the ice pops.

We have an overnight hut rented for 1/28 and 1/29 on Lake Simcoe.
Can't wait.

Mac, that sounds like a blast.  Have you done this before?  I live down here in the south where the ice options are a bit limited and something like that sounds like a perfect winter getaway.  The mrs. might have another opinion, but I would be curious to know how something like that works.

i sleep in my shack in Wi pretty much every weekend you can drive on the ice....got a heated shack and its much safer to sleep out there than drive home with too many beers under your belt...you have to have a properly vented heater though...i work for a natural gas company and I check CO levels in the shack with a $1500 piece of equipment so i feel really safe...the $35 models will help but may give a few false positives but generally will be over protective rather than under...the greatest thing about sleeping in a shack is that I can drive an hour or three and stay there all weekend and not have to waist money driving home every night!!!

If i were to pull a all nighter, it would have to be in a hardside, witrh a nice woodstove. I would be scared in one of those little tarp shacks.

Ever try Red Bull and Vodka? Now, that will keep ya goin!

I have never slept on the ice and don't intend to. I did enough snow-camping and hiking in my younger years to last a life time. It would be cool to roll out of the bunk and drop a line, though.

Here in WY it is common for people to pull there travel trailers out and stay for the night or longer. Almost everyone uses tip ups. (6 allowed). I usually watch movies or football until I get a flag and then hop on the four wheeler to go get it. When the action heats up you can go try actively jigging.

I have spent many a night catching burbot with cat naps in between when I got tired. Just rolled out my ensolite pad and sleeping bag. Slept in my clothes. I can sleep thru anything so the cracking ice was no big deal.
Also coldest I slept in was -37 but I had a fold out cot to help.
