Good lookin' Walleye! The ice around here seldom gets thick enough to walk on, let alone do something like that. Ice fishing kinda interests me though. I bought a magazine about it the other night and have been showing the pics to my two kids and telling them that's how y'all do it up there. Very nice building.

Good for you being out there with your boys!
Believe me when I tell you it will be just a few days and they will be gone from home.....like we all did.
Best, Ted

ok I could get into ice fishing with a house like that! I always froze my hind end off on a bucket out on the Missouri River and lakes in SD as a kid!

That's nicer than anything I've ever laid eyes on......gotta love time on the ice in there. Now all you need is a satalite dish and big screen and you're all set!!

You'd be amazed at what people rig up to their shacks. If I get a chance this weekend, I'll try to take a picture of the little "shanty town" in one of our fishing holes. A wide varitey of shacks. Dave's would be by far the nicest, but they all have "character".

it is really something all of the different houses you see though.
I've even seen grain bins out on the ice serving as fish houses.

Great pics and lovely kids. Dunno if they're all yours or not, but they are wonderful children nonetheless. Nice walleye too.
The ice fishing house sure looks desolate in that pic. That's just how I imagine it being down too far south for such as that.

That's just how I imagine it being down too far south for such as that. well the 3 biger kids in the last picture aint mine, well the one on the left kind of is, we'd take ownership any day of the week good kid, my cousin's boy. His dad passed away about 1 year & a half ago & we've enjoyed spending more time now than ever with him & his 2 sisters not pictured. the 2 boys with him are his friends, he brings a buddy or 2 up sometimes when he comes to visit. Always good kids. Nice job! How thick is that ice? well i varries but I'd guess anywhere from 2' at the thinnest to well over 3' in places.

Sioux sucks!!!!!
I say that as the Gophers are taking a beating from Colorado College in hockey right now. Saying they're in a bit of a rough patch is an understatement.

Hey everybody. I'm lofting this old thread to the top again for another ice fishing season with upgrades to the house we built last year. The house worked out great for us last year with the only complaint being that it was tough to move around with the wooden runners I had under it. I broke those runners in several places last year, they just wouldn't hold up to the force it takes to break a house free from it's spot when it's time to move a big house like that. So, I put together a new steel skid frame for the house that should slide nicer & should definately hold up better to the abuse out on the lake. here are a couple of crappy phone pics I snapped last night out in the shop. (excuse the mess ) here's the skid, it's upside down in the picture here. it will carry the 8' x 16' house soon. here's a shot from an underside corner where & rolled these heavy hoops with 1/2" sq cold rolled steel & welded them on for tow points. one on all 4 corners.
