Homemade Ice fishing box
« on: Dec 29, 2009, 02:49 PM »
  last winter I saw a fisherman using an sled in Vermont, he called a Fishing box. It was constructed on a pair of skis and had a simple storage and seating for a typical day of ice fishing. The part hat caught my attention was it had a clear front that held a colman lantern. This not only provided light but a source of heat and a spot to slide your hands in to warm them up. According to him this is a typical type of sled used in the Mid West. As I can't seem to find this on any web site, dose anyone know what the official name of this is. I have been trying to find one on line so I could build one.

I know that years ago my grandfather built a similar sled and used to heck out of it on Lake Huron fishing for perch. I have seen commercially built sleds similar to the one that you are talking about. I will do a web search and see if I can come up with something for you. His sled had poles and canvas to make a wind break which was a nice feature. Good luck on your search.

I know somebody that made one of those. He said it "burned real good". He's not sure how the fire started cuz he wasn't sitting on it at the time.
