I have been happy with my striker rain gear, well built just like the ice suits

No problem

Numerous men are going through and getting stranded on the wrong side of the crack, there was a rescue yesterday morning while I was out, the cracked opened to over 4 ft in spots and has got worse today, 60 degree temps and down pour for the past 24 hours

I watched Larry’s show also. They kept their limits but put a lot of fish back down the hole. The limit has been 8 fish for the last 3 years from what I have been told. MDNR says there are too many fish for the available forage. That is why the increase in bag limit. Not sure but I think there is no possession limit. If that is the case it means if you buy a 3 day license and fish 3 days you can keep 8 <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>walleyes per day and take 24 home.

Possession limit is 3 times the daily bag limit

Mine isn’t too bad as long as you go with the Otter rigid hitch. I don’t tow on glare ice often.
My buddy has a resort and he was having some wear-through issues so he put a set of carbide runners on his from his snowmobile. That baby tracks straight as an arrow and any speed, but it does pull hard. 1 because its a resort and they are quite big and 2 because he has an enormous array of compartments, built ins, fans, switches, full size deep cycle battery, etc. he is loaded for bear! LOL

Captain musky, my shack right now is setup the same way with storage and switch boxes, lights, etc. We originally wanted the resort for maximum comfort for 2 guys, i like the idea of carbide runners to a true tracking over the hyfax, does he run both?

Pretty much the 2 factors pushing me away from towing are the obvious of tub damage, crack and heave is brutal on any tub and the tub filling with slush and water on the not so pretty weather days, i have always believed the biggest shanty you could afford was the best option but I’m starting to second guess that, i really like the mobility of stop, flip and fish but if it takes me a few more minutes to protect my investment the best, i just need to figure out how to capitalize 2 guys with 1 machine, thanks for all the input

The milk crate mention is a must and that’s what i do, as far as towing goes how do you guys feel the otters track with little to no snow on the ice? Probably my biggest pet peeve is the tub sliding all over side to side even at slow speeds

My thought with running two shacks is either a rack on the front and back of the machine with my storage box in the bed, or storage box on the front and a double rack off the back

Shapell fx200 that was 6 years old

I’m looking to keep the bed open as my 2nd row seating folds up from the bed and it’s a secure place for my propane tank and any other gear, I’m running a Honda pioneer 700-4

I would get the biggest cc engine you can afford, when the snow gets deep you will not regret your decision

I believe the 13 fishing widowmakers are a great rod and a good price point with about every action and length you would need, definately a good production rod, i like mine

If any other group buys happen I will definately be interested

From the southern corner of the bay all the up the east side we have scattered wind farms
