For those of you who have done it in a hub…..which hub out there is the best for winter camping? I have it narrowed down to eskimo fatfish9416i, otter monster lodge hub, or otter resort hub. Also I plan on doing a wood stove and venting it out the top with stove jack. I know this will make us not mobile but we just need a basecamp while the one mans keep us mobile. With winter camping becoming more and more popular in a hub do you think we will ever see hub manufacturers adding in stove jack options?

I have it in my head that the plastic needs to be super small for a small bluegills mouth. I know this is not true since I have caught many bluegills on spoons before. I guess it’s just in my head it has to be that way. So with that being said the best micro plastic I have found is trigger x mustache worm. Very lively action and balances a jig very well. I have had many trips where live bait didn’t even come on the ice with me and I caught just as many bluegills.

I have wanted to do the same thing and have done a lot of research on this particular thing (camping on ice in hub style shack). From what I have found stay away from propane heater. However there is an alternative to have some heat. A small wood burning stove and install a jack in roof of hub style shack and vent out the top. The more digging in I did the more I found how many people do this and camp in the winter in hot tents. I have done a lot of reading on reviews and problems with different small wood burners and the best I have found is the sportsman warehouse wood burner version to have a big enough smoke stack to vent everything without filling shack with smoke. There is even a guy who sleeps in a hub style shack in Canada for 8 weeks using a wood burning stove. Check out 8 week winter camping on YouTube he documented it all and even shows how to install a stove jack. Hope this helps good luck on your adventure I would like to do the same exact thing.
