there will be a new permy in town guys! i picked up a 6x17.5 today drop axle wheel house! i am thinking of putting it on zumbro lake and just fishing crappie walleye and pike out of it and doing weekends up on pepin and the big river in lake city.. maybe some lake bylsbee in cannon falls sometime (never fished it before, any pointers?) and eventually take an extended weekend off and pulling it up north. i will upload pics when i get off work tomorrow

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Congrats on the new purchase, and can't wait for the pics.

Unfortunately I haven't ever fished Lake Bylsbee.

pikemaster1 · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 30, 2012, 09:46 PM »

finally

looks great man i want one now. next thing you know you will have a microwave and a TV

the red part on the back wall is actually another bunk that is folded up, and the top bunk folds up too so you can fish the two holes in the back corners.. the table folds down to make a 3rd bunk using the two seats next to it.. and the box in the V hinges open to use as storage, 8 holes, only 3 have catch covers tho, the others use the hinged door system.. 7 rattle reels and a cool rapala fishing lure thermometer.. 2 , 30# propane tanks with an auto switch valve so if the main tank gets too low of pressure it auto flips to the next tank without even killing the heater or pilot flame..has an 18,000 btu direct vent heater and hand crank axles .. thats about all i can think of, any questions lemme know what yall think!!

she pulls easy, and im pulling it with a 2002 trail blazer.. i have a truck too but it only gets 4 mpg with the 35's on it so im trying to avoid it haha

and no microwaves or tv's.. its only wired for AC not for a genny.. but thats fine by me, i have movies on my labtop and it has a AC cigg lighter plug in so i can get a portable dvd player or something in it.. thinking about painting a checker board on the table top

belive it or not, i stole this for 1,500 bucks.. all i can say is keep your eyes on craigslist guys! im 24yo and couldnt afford much more than this but i think i did alright for the money, he started at 2,000 but was really willing to bargain and was a super cool guy, so i am really grateful for the chance to take the next step into ice fishing addiction!
anyone have any tips or tricks for a first time permy owner?

pikemaster1 · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 30, 2012, 10:05 PM »

SPADED · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 30, 2012, 10:13 PM »

Just for the record it is DC not AC. AC you shuld be able to use a genny with. But awsome deal on that sweet castle.

Nice palace man

SPADED · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 03, 2012, 12:20 AM »

thank you everyone! i made a few little mods today after work but i need more ideas to keep me busy until ice up!

1- put a quick disconnect on the battery so i can just unscrew a knob and have the power cut when i leave, harbor freight - $7
2- rigged a window alarm on the door so if it gets kicked in it will make a 90 decibel squeal, dollar store- $1
3- got some window clip drink holders and cut the bend off the clip and screwed them to the walls, fleet farm- two for $1
4- rapala decals

, fleet farm- $3
5-painted a checker board on the table top- masking tape and spray paint on hand.

anyone have any cool ideas i should try? the cheaper the better!! and remember the gotta run off DC if they are powered , thx man cave

Rebelss · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 10, 2012, 08:30 AM »

Best mod would be to swing by and pick me up.....

Nice resort!!! I have to get over to your place and see it in person!!!

da man cave shack · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 10, 2012, 09:45 AM »

SPADED · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 10, 2012, 05:47 PM »

haha yeah right !! i already had my buddy tell me he would bring out his reel weeds and set them up around it and asked if i needed help towing it.. and i thought wow, he is being nice all of a sudden. we are the kind of buddies that rag on each other constantly, then he says he could help me with any mods i want to do- if he gets a key lol but hell yeah reb, you will need to come over and have a burger off the grill and check it out! my ol lady dont mind if i spread all my ice gear out on the table so we can even stare at some ice jigs! and i could show ya some of the ones i made in person .

Rebelss · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 10, 2012, 06:20 PM »

Sounds like a wiener to me!!!!

I do want to see your ice jigs...you do some pretty nice work there! Now I have to re-assort my ice tackle box, just got back from Fleet Farm again...
