Fantastic shanty, but do they catch any fish in it?

Dang that's nicer than my house!!!

A wood burning stove? I bet she gets to 90 degrees in there, if not hotter. Conservation Officer would have a funny look on his face if he ever knocks on your door to check your license and you answer it with no shirt on and bermuda shorts. Very nice though.

Not too shabby.
I wonder how much time went into it? I wonder what the cost was? And, more to the point, what does it weigh? My guess: 1/2 ton

Around here the Police report would read::

Stolen ice shanty from local lake was found late last night in the river bottoms mobile home park. Arrest came as a result of phone tips from neighbors. It seems it raised some suspicions around the area when the "new" house raised property taxxes for the entire community. Owners claimed they won the lottery and had it built overnight when no one was looking. Thelma lee was singing "were mov'in on up" from the jeffersons while they led her to the patrol car....

A shanty that nice is bound to be a big pain in the ass. My barbaric buddies will want to use it whenever they please, and it will likely sink into the ice and require massive equipment to retrieve. I'll stick with my portable.

Still, its kind of cute.

Tight lines.

yup that thing must be a big pain the a$$ to go an retrieve towards springtime, unless you have enough ice and a big rig. our shack to the left there is an 8x8, and with our wood stove it gets about 85 in there then we open the windows, but it weighs probably around 400-500lbs, and it can still be a bit%^ to take off and put on. this year with my new grizzly 660 should make life a little easier!! happy fishin all!!

What no leather easy chair, ceiling fans and I hope you don't actually have to go outside to get a beer? Please let's get out of the stone age!

just kidding, That is great I love all the little details that make it incredible.

Fish it

If I had a shanty like that one I would definitely lose my job.

diehard22 · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 15, 2007, 05:45 PM »

Without a doubt a beautiful shanty.

I don't think I would let any of my friends in it if it were mine.
Almost too nice for the sometimes messy sport of ice fishing/drinking
Sure is a lot nicer than my 8x6 shack which I just finished making out of 100% recycled/reused junk

stumper · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 15, 2007, 05:57 PM »

Totally Awsome!!!! If I lived on a lake or knew somone that did, I waould have that shack!! I would also have security camera pointed at it from my residence as well as wireless cameras inside!!! A+++++++++

RIfish · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 04:00 PM »

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 04:06 PM »

stumper · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 04:43 PM »

Nice, for sure. Definitely careful planning and flawless execution....

If that was my shanty, I hope I never die - cause heaven might not even be that good.

saranacjoe · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 10:23 AM »

Are there any laws governing fishing from my living room? 8)
I would never leave the ice, have my mail forwarded, satelite internet.... I could even work from there.
I wonder if dominoes would deliver on the ice?

mainedukblaster · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 11:17 AM »

you asked about dominoes, my buddy and I had dominos delivered to our shack a couple years back, the guy met us at the boat launch, then one year we had one of those traveling OMAHA steak guys driving his pickup on the lake with a freezer in the bed of his truck come by and try to sell us steaks on the ice, knocked on the door of our shack and every other shack out there! LOL

Turkeyhunter10ga · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 12:58 PM »

Since we usually dont get enough ice to have one, or not even allowed to have a permanent on the ice that i'm aware of here in IN. That would be parked in my backyard for when the wife is mad at me and i'm in the proverbial " dog house",guess where i'll be staying.

VDueslerIV · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 01:30 PM »

Oh my goodness i have dies and gone to heaven...how much?!

mcwoody · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 01:36 PM »

it is a pretty funky unit. however one of the things i'm tryin to do when out on the ice is get away from phones tv etc. but it is the most amazing hut i've seen!!

algoneida · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 04:25 PM »

yup...that's one snazzy shack...... this guy had a wee bit of money and time on his hands huh? dig the solar panels...no noisy generator...yup...i gotta build me one like that.....does that dish get the playboy channel?? i'd never have to go home lol
