how do i insert pictures? helppppHope this will help you out good luck
Hey stoutbait, whats the tailpipe for? You got a generator or something in there?
Here is my first entry is for the Tricked Out category:
This shanty folded down measures 5'x7'. Each side may be opened by it self or both at the same time which makes it 15' x 7' with room for eight, 12 if four are kids. The complete set up time is about 1 min and take down as well. Under the seats and center is enough storage room for at least that many peoples equipment and coats, ect... once it's warmed up inside. There are easy storage quick access rod holders in four spots that will hold 16 rods. And when the snow is deep the six inches of clearance would make it a bear to pull so you just hit a switch an the hydraulic skis raise it to twelve inches.

Here's my submission, my Pack Shack. Built about six years ago
I used to bleed green and gold
You'll have to agree, it is a ugly scene.
And your fighting off a wolf too - very ugly :)That is Lily (who the shack is named for) along with my partner (her owner). She was not happy that her house was getting a very cold bath!
Lund94Hey we would personally like to thank you for your old "Washed Up" QB. I think at 6-0 he is off to an alright start, hehehe
Shouldn't your shack be green and white now not green and gold? You are a year off. I feel sorry for anyone that paints anything based on Favre's current team, their paint budget would be through the roof!
Sorry, just a jilted packers fan speaking here. Fortunately for you, my appreciation for fellow ice fishermen is greater than my hatred of "Favre fans" so I won't hunt down and sink your shack the second it turns purple and gold.
Not to get off topic, so this will be all I have to say about the subject. Every team in the NFL, including the vikings, would take Aaron Rodgers over Brett Favre right now. Rodgers is not why the Packers are struggling and Favre is not why the Vikings are winning, simple as that.
There, back on topic.
No pictures for me, every shack that I have ever had a hand in building has been so mediocre that it would fail to qualify for any category here. It is fun to look at the pictures though, so keep them coming.
No fair ULTRA - you live in God's country! Can't take a bad scenery shot out there ;D ;D ;D
Will let's try this again ... Here's the winter get away it's 8 x 18 crank down with a hinged hitch, it weighs in at about 3400 lbs, has smooth aluminum siding with rock guard all the way around. Dual 40 lbs propane tank's, vinyl Thermal windows, and trailer lights. On the inside theres a, Sat TV, Microwave, 6 holes, Rattle Reels, 12 volt hole lights, 110 volt lights & outlets, Battery Tender, 3 Burner Gas Cook Top With Oven, Forced air Furnace, for back up to keep the hole's open when your away there's a vented Empire Gas Heater, a Dinette with under seat storage with a bay window, there's also a small storage room in the V front area.

thats awesome, nice fish trap those are sickI've had my sleeper for about 4 years, I picked up the X2 about a year ago. So I decided to sell my older 4 person Clam that I had for 12 years and I got what I paid for it.
as for the clam , i didnt know they made a "sleeper" thats awesome
yeah i wouldent be able to decide either, i have an old shappell and a new shappell , they are both nice but if i had the money i would definitly like to get the fish trap and the sleeper is to cool to pass up so maybe someday i will own both. they are made to zip together right? you could even put 2 8x8's together that would be nasty haha. where about in maine you live? fish in NH at all? id like to try some Maine fishing this year . im going to start with umbagog since its half NH half MEI live in Durham, which is just outside Freeport, the home of LL Beans. I could not have the toys I have, if I didn't work at Beans. We have not made it up to NH to fish, we bounce from Sebago area up to the Winthrop area.
This is all I need. shanty's a few years old and the bike is a 2002. Gets me where I gotta go and is very reliable. The shanty fits 2 but I'm by myself alot.most of the time... that's the best.
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb271/fishdaddy_photos/MB2-15-08009.jpg)
And if you are taking a army of friends, you can just zip them togetherThanks, If I didn't have this sled, it would be like pulling a big brick.

That is one of the best sleds I have ever seen, easy and very practical..... :thumbsup:

Rodgers is not why the Packers are struggling and Favre is not why the Vikings are winning, simple as that.As a long time Vikes fan, I have to agree.
Heres one for the best but ugly category. Talk about teenagers with good intentions, random items laying around a garage, and a case of old mil light!

Here's my baby. This will be its 3rd winter. It sits on Minnesota's Lake Mille Lacs. We use it in the summer as well- notice the ac unit above the heater. That's a queen size bed for the Mrs. and me, we have 2 twins beds on the other loft. And the last pic is the kitchen and bath. We love it.

there is an advantage to the ones who hav'nt submited yet. for example, if i already submitted my pic.(and i have), i only have last seasons pics to choose from, and cannot re-submit a pic.......if i hav'nt submited a pic, i can "target" a catagory'.....i.e. "scenic"... and wait till this season for a better picture and then submit it.......there are other advantages, because of the "extension" that my fingers would get to tired to type, but im sure if you think about it you'll come across them
-Scott
This is about as scenic as it gets here in NW Iowa. ;D

Hear is my little baby. Nothing to fancy but warm and effective. It is a 6 x 10, sits on 4x4 treated rails, floor is joiced with 2 x 4's, walls are all 2 x 2.and has 4 holes skids very nice behind the quad or later in the year behind the truck. It loads up on a 8 x 10 quad trailer that I have quite nice for long transport but for the most part it stays out on what ever lake I put it on for the season and just move it around the lake.
You have a castle man! How about a coat of paint? The "oops" paint, wrong mix colors at the Home Depot, or other large hardware stores can be had for a few bucks, and even spray paint will dry when it's cold out if you let it set long enough.
Very nice house though, it speaks of a warm cozy place to fish.

Here's my submission, my Pack Shack. Built about six years ago
I used to bleed green and gold but I am a Favre fan more than a Packer fan.
Now to top it all off, it's too cold to repaint it Purple and Yellow.
So I get to look at this ugly shack all year.

What???????? You got to be kidding me. Either your a Packer fan or your not.
i would like to withdraw my submission.....and submit one later because of the extension.......can i do that?? ??? ???
Some incredibly nice shantys boys actually some to nice. Which brings me to my question why carpet in an ice shanty ?? What do you do with an 8 pound Pike when it comes out of the hole and starts doing the hairy chicken all over your floor.. Must stink after a while no ???Not that much trouble with smell from the slimmers, and we do pull up a few, just grab em in the gills and ether back down the hole or out the door.... no hairy chicken allowed! The carpet is a indoor outdoor type, that helps to keep the floor from getting slippery when wet or ice, and it works great!
Here's my baby. This will be its 3rd winter. It sits on Minnesota's Lake Mille Lacs. We use it in the summer as well- notice the ac unit above the heater. That's a queen size bed for the Mrs. and me, we have 2 twins beds on the other loft. And the last pic is the kitchen and bath. We love it.

This shack was built by a buddy and me almost 10 years ago in high school. Looking at it now it is purely amazing that it still stands, let alone make it down the road, but it keeps us warm year after year and holds a lot of memories.

I finished my new shanty and had it out a few times. It works better than I thought it would. Takes only a couple of minutes or less depending on my help. It weighs 332lbs. It is 8x8 inside. It has a built in bench seat on one side. I have pushed it out by hand and pulled it with a 125 four wheeler. All of the sides are printed with digital pictures from my underwater camera and some found by the artist at work. The top has a picture of a large shark, for the low flying planes. It is made to fish on thin ice and I have had it on five inches of ice this season. The inside was printed to look like wood.

One could sell tickets to the "Big Gun" or "bikini ice fishing woman" shows in that beautiful rig! ;) It looks cool tho. And wow the expense of plexi ! I hope you got that plexi for a real good price (i.e. free from work ;) )
Scot you going to run this again? Duck doc (I assume but you know what that means) and I wanna get the new shacks in lol
