Ideas on where to put shack next year?

[Snopro]

Between newport and bangor, hopefully somewhere that has a road out on to the ice. My shack is on wheels. Maybe a place that has more then one plow guy!! Got old plowing hermon all year! Took 5 years off my old trucks already old life!! Maybe round pond in plymouth. Got several guys with shacks up there with plows?

Darrell and another guy plow too.

Fields might be good. The deep end freezes kinda late though.

Snake Pond I’m gonna fish that a lot more next year. 

 Guess it depends if ya wanna catch fish or what

Doesn't seem like your interested in really fishing so why not just leave it in the yard?

I guarantee I catch more fish on the weekend then you

[woodchip]

Hey Snopro in your dreams.   Think we all need floats and an anchor line. Must be sweet out on the wrinkle right now.

[woodchip]

We all know where you guys fish.. Ever hear of G,P.S. chips..

You can stick to the junk fish and I'll stick to catching real fish.

[Snopro]

So this has turned into my thingy is bigger then your thingy!!  I don't call crappie junk fish! You guys have fun catching the tank scrubbers!

[woodchip]

I like action ,and they all eat good.

I too! I work all week in the cold, thats why i have a shack thats warm! I call setting in my shack jigging my mental health time!

[jimmyrig]

 I agree! Why do so many people bash the guys with hard sides, is it a crime to like to relax and stay warm when you fish?

  Working on and building a hard side is a good way to enjoy the sport in the off season, and a great place to store your gear.

Keeps the kids warm too! Hard side fisherman can actually catch fish too! Not just party out there.

Just my 2 cents

I agree and the best part is the wardens can't count how many beers you drink, plus you can stay in the hard side if you had a few too many

I put another $1,000 in mine this year and it should be very comfortable to live in for a few days. But with the current conditions I have not put it out. With the snow,slush and cold keeping a shack tended can be a nightmare

I think you should be on Sabasticook, you'll still have the crappie & nice whites.

Hermon Pond...off the point ....in the hole.

[Downeaster]

I am going to put mine on my front lawn for sale, come next fall.  It is in a location
that is unattainable by me right now.  So when I can finally get to it to move.  That
will be the last time I deal with a shack.

Hermon Pond...off the point ....in the hole.

You plowing the road??

[ShouldofBeenThere]

No need for a road.. makes more of a mess then anything

[Anomaly]

Maybe you should consider a portable pop up shack, tracking and putting a plow on your side-by-side buggy.

NO BUDDY’S GONNA PLOW LIKE YOU HAVE, RON.

Maybe Unity is not that bad a choice. I’ve seen other’s plowing off from that landing. Haven’t looked lately though. Pretty easy chance off and on.

I know what you said about that one pond....

[ice cracker]

I don't get all the road fuss. I mean it sounds nice but 99% of lakes don't have a plowed road and it doesn't bother 99% of fishermen

The people that fish Hermon REALLY appreciate the plowed road. A lot of folks that might have a hard time getting on the ice, like walkers, older folks and kids benefit tremendously. Especially in a winter like this, the road has been much appreciated, BUT Snopro gets little of it and catches flack. Thanks for keeping the road open, Ron!

What mess? A clean wide road for all to use, get shacks in and out ....get the kids on the ice easily.... What mess?

[woodchip]

Wider skis and more flotation incorporated in out shacks .Less plowing which just encourages cars and trucks into a trap later in the season.

Have you found a new spot yet, Snopro?

Right down the road from me!
