This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

It's about time you got off your duff and did some work on it Steve. :P Looks good 8)

1LC; We got lots of rain in Ott. today witch took care of some snow but there is still lots left unfortunatley. We are going to need some seriously cold temps soon if it's going to hit the ice at all this year. I really hope we can get it out or I'm going to have to find another way of ditching the GF this winter :lol:

Steve: My first shack was almost identical to that and what we found was the windows needed a dark blind or curtain on it because it let in too much light and you could not see down the holes in day time...and the roof being so high made it take a long time to heat...but other than that and the weight of it when putting it on and off it was a great shack. We reduced ours in size and now instead of fitting 6-8 we can fit 3-4...Anyway I know this will be a great shack so enjoy and here's to many fish on the floor :wink:

Hey SCUBA_STEVE

I had one about as big as yours and other than I had a hard time getting any fishing done what with all the people dropping over. It was pretty heavy and taking it off was timing for sure. Needed to make sure it was just right...

I of course downsized into a 3 man hut with tv, satelite, depth finder and a couple other nice to have things... It's great and today I pulled it from it's resting spot and it is ready for the ice tomorrow!!!! Weeeeeeeeeee ooooooohhhhhh

Anyhow.. nice shack...

Priorguy! :roll:
