Had the wife with me yesterday as "I" checked out some shelters at Cabelas in Lincoln. This time last year she was a "No way you will ever get me to go out on the ice," kinda girl. After 6+ years tho, I finally got her out there. And now, I ain't gonna lie, it was kinda sexy seeing her get so involved in deciding which shelter would serve US best. She was looking at everything, seats, height, fishable area, weight and price. After deciding, she went to "Look" at rod and reel combos. She ended up walking out with a new rod & reel, some Fiska jigs and 4 jars of various Gulp baits.
We decided that, since we can't find the new Frabil Fishouflage shelters anywhere, we will go with the new Eskimo FishMO shelter Or the Clam Tundra (and add a couple of comfy seats onto the standard padded bench seats.)
We'll make the purchase in a couple of weeks after Christmas shopping.
