Can't believe the Pond has been relegated back to the fourth page. It has been intersting to read a lot of the threads on the usual items, what gps? what fish finder? what shanty manufaturer? or the north country thread, which has proved most edifying. I am insulating the Boggey box for this years adventures and using that 5/8 foil faced product. Hope it holds up. I am glueing it directly to the interior of the sheet metal. Also, last years flaw was the three trap doors I cut in the floor between the two skiis left me exposed to the wind blowing in from underneath and defeating the Mr. Heater. It wasn't a problem if there was enough snow to bank the ends of the shanty, but the windy days would blow the ice clean and leave me exposed again., I devised a cure this year. I have made up 12 X12 well enclosures to slip through the floor to the ice. Hope to tighten things up this year. I think I am getting it set up for some of that night fishing you have been telling me about pondskipper.
Forgot to tell you capthook88 and I are going to build a shanty also.
He is replacing the carburetor. Found one on craigslist. Can't have an undependable machine on the ice. What size is the shanty going to be? I've got some jealousy windows if you want them. I also have some down hill skiis if you need them for runners.
gps coordinates please when in place
That is the problem when you have a shanty. Everyone knows where your honey hole is. Uou will have to learn how to misdirect them.
Boys, I'm starting to get the itch. I have about a week and a half left of work for the year and then my attention goes to those tasty little guys under the ice. Cant wait to get back on the ice with all of you especially yoda I mean Boggey. On a off note anybody have any suggestions for a light one man. I'm really getting sick of lugging out the heavy two man by myself.
Drowndin Dots, Cuzz and I are going to give it one real good day today, neither of us have any venison in the larder yet. And a side note to Pondskipper, that 17th start date is not looking good after checking out the forcast for the next week, however it can be done. 4 nights of 20 or below with temps below 30 in the daylight hours could get us there, but would not bet the house on it at this moment.
I love you're positive thinking
Cusefan I went with a few other people thoughts and got the Kenai, I love everything but the seat. I replaced mine with a boat seat. Easy to pull and more than enought space
take a picture of what you did with your seat please. i want to do something with mine also because it did not come with a back rest. that was the only thing i did not like about it but planned to modify something
I will give the tourny a good college try. captin88 and I will be partners. I aint braggn but its a dangerous combo!
If you hit the perch like me and you did that day last year you will be doing nothing but bragging. that was an awesome day we had
