This thread cracks me up! The eternal battle of man vs vermin.

Craigslist is a great to find an affordable used unit or new ones are sale at Fleet Farm. There are plenty of opinions around here about which ones are best.

I had a sunflower on low for three hours last night and never got chilly! Last night was breezy and I had no problem maneuvering the shack. If you were going to move 30 yards, I would probably collapse it and pop it up in your new spot. It is that easy.

Al, have you run into a situation where you really needed a floor in the quickfish? I have been out in my QF3 a couple of times with no problems. The flipovers don’t have a floor, why does a popup need one?

uffdapete – the new model has redesigned zippers. I believe the original green model had a vertical zip. The new ones have a half-diamond shape zipper. It is still tight at the ends but if you use both zips it works fine.

They are smarter than we give them credit for!

This completely legit send them everything they want!

Poindingeyes said it all very well. I think that you might have a bit of trouble locating one right now. Fleet Farm had a sale going and they sold out rather quick. I had to order one off ebay for a few bucks more. They are not as mobile as a flipover once your on the ice but they are very nice

You could do 100mph across the ice!

Fleet farm is selling the VX-1pro for $275. You get an extra 400 watts of PtoP & the soft case. Tough to beat!

Down a couple of cold ones before you go (and during), it won’t feel so cold after that!

I believe that I read somewhere that Les is hanging it up! The docs say that starving himself for a week, several times per year, is too much for his body.

I would love to hear how you guys do as well. I had good luck hitting crappies at the rock pile this summer.
