While I am waiting for some hard water, I need a little diversion project. I am looking for plans for a ice shack. Can anybody help me out? I have seen plans for a fold up on the net, had anybody bought these? help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

Default Ice?????

Heck bud I haven't even made it out hunting yet, other than for a few birds. I don't want to see hard water for a few months yet. Well 3 more weeks anyhow. After that it can freeze the skeg up hard so I have an easier time hauling in camp.

i hear yea, i havent hunted yet either for big game. For some reason i dont have the urge this year, but am waiting for Strathcona to open up thier season so i can help that farmer out.

Ice fishing has three breeds:

occasional, weekend warrior, and Feed The Desease !!!!


Bring On The ...ICE

Default Jiffy

Jiffy coming out with what looks like a pretty slick connect system on some of their new models, but unfortunately no adapter kits for those of us with the old units.

I'm with ya Big Bore

I absolutly can't wait for the ice. Nothing beats fresh fish. I mean as soon as it's out the ice, me knife is in the fish. If it's legal of course. then straight in the flour/lemon pepper and to the pan.

i really want to see that flasher in action too!

Hey Mike good news on the ice front , Hwy 16 east of sherwood park is quite slick , with freezing rain and sleet and snow . It just took me a good hour and a half to get home from mundare , man and that wind , as soon as we hit that dark black cloud it was like getting hit by a brick wall . Roads that way are crap .
