This has been a fun thread to scroll through and I hope to be able to add some pictures to it this weekend. I've been working on a small, trailer mounted shanty that I can pull about 300 yds down to the end of the road we live on. The road ends at a public access to a decent sized lake.

I don't know why, but in the nearly 10 years that I've lived there I've only ice fished about 5 times on this lake. I hope having a shelter will make getting out easy enough to make winter fishing more appealing for me, the twins and possibly even the Mrs. I don't plan to leave the shanty on the ice, but will pull it onto the ice, tilt the bed of the trailer and set up shop.


4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan. smile
