I thought everybody would like this.



This is a bombardier School bus manufactured in 1950. A winter time school bus. Originally it would have had a flat head 6 cylinder and a 3 spd manual trans.

It now has a 318 and an auto trans.

It belongs to forum member "white bear", he can tell you more about it.

He brought it up to our fishing spot on Saturday to give some rides. If you are going to go for a ride in/on a 62 year old snowmobile.... This is the ONLY way to do it.

I'm pretty certain I drive the birthplace of your "ice shack" every day...nice digs!

Growing up in n WI I sure spent many an hour out on the ice catching pike, crappie, walleye, perch, blue gill, bass

Thanks for sharing

Awesome pics Hawken..

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.

Dave your Fish house is too cool! I just got a place about 250 yrds from a small lake, Hopeing by next year to have a shanty like the ones on Grumpy old men! buddie & I are going to build it next summer! I even have one of them red land otters!

Great Winter pics all you fellas up North...I've never stood on frozen lakes before,..your pics leave me in awe...


ND,..you eat this..?





Having never seen one, first thing that I thought of was the few ling cods I've caught off the coast of CA. Kinda similar in appearance.

Been missing your posts, wondering where you been. Glad to see your time has been well spent...
