Put a better snow front on your unit, snow will build up on your sled when hauling it on the lake
|
Go to the Ice Shanty forums and search Smitty sled. It is all there and more than you want to know.
|
Those look nicer than the skis I ski with...
|
I would stand another 2x6 underneath the frame, minimum, to keep it out of the snow
|
With the minimal amount of snow we have you will have no issues this weekend, however, with the amount of snow we had last year and in some areas 2-3" of flood water you'll be making some mod's to jack it up to a high-boy, otherwise you'll be struggling to get out on the ice.

Why not just buy a plastic calving sled probably last you a lot longer

Good points about the snow. I can easily add another 2x6 underneath to raise it and maybe add some sort of plough type assembly. Good idea
I looked at those sleds, but I'm a tight arse. $70 vs $10 is no competition for me. Now I have $60 to spend on groceries when I dont catch any fish :sHa_shakeshout: |
No offense but have you seen the price of wood lately

Nice sled !
Sometimes it’s fun to just build something yourself isn’t it! Good luck this season and merry Christmas |

Looks good Max. But as others have said, you will need to raise it up a bit sooner rather than later. That’s basically a Smitty sled. Mine made my day a lot more enjoyable hauling the sled uphill to the parking lot.

I actually made it out of a bike rack I made in the summer haha. Talk about repurposing
https://i.imgur.com/elz4WZy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TMOxZlu.jpg I am going to have to raise it up. You guys are 100% right about that She performed well today however https://i.imgur.com/CpPIjxd.jpg Even caught some supper to boot https://i.imgur.com/vWYlx2K.jpg |
Good to see you're getting the trout angling figured out. :cool:

Maybe Chain has been overfished now, maybe it was too busy, maybe it was just an anomaly, I dunno Sled performed well again though haha |
Nice little pull behind set up ya got there.
Initially I thought you were going to hook it up to a atv or snowmobile which would be a disaster but if your just pulling it behind you then that's a good looking rig! |
