Lets see your ice fishing machine

[hamms-scooter]

I am looking at getting something cheap for early ice and made me think of this. Lets see your atc, atv, sled... I am looking at Honda 185s to Honda 300. I want something small and light. I would only use it for deer dragging and ice fishing. Lets see your rig set up.

Here's mine, alongside my Otter Lodge with it's broken zipper and a gazillion holes in it. Polaris 500 2 up, front rack with auger holder.

I posted this in another thread, but this is my Honda Rancher that I use to tow the Yetti out when there's 12" of ice. Also use it for towing portables after about 8" of ice.

I also have an 84 Honda 200S ATC that I use for deer hunting, works great for fitting in tight spaces in the woods and makes a good trail since you have 3 wheels knocking down the grass. They're super light so we usually just toss it in the back of the truck without a ramp and I still have room for more stuff (6 1/2' bed). Haven't had that one on the ice, but we have used my dad's (85 200S) with chains before and they work pretty good. Usually floats up on top of snow drifts with ease, where the ATV or pickup would break through from weight.

Older Yamaha Wolverine with a Frabill Recon. Light and fast.

Posted this somewhere else here too, sorry for the size... '03 Foreman 450, with rear drop rack. Works great till lots of snow, then sled time

First pic Dec, second on April 7... It pulls an Otter Cabin or old Clam voyager, or both.

Hey bart14 nice sled! Did you come over from ice shanty?

( I know the lady that put the decals on your sled )

[BradHawthorne]

Here she is, with a few improvements over last year. We added steel cab, heater, LED light bar, dual auger racks, and a sweet wrap;)

Can Am Fishing machine, will go anywhere just don't get stuck.

[Hobey]

I wouldn't recommend a 300. You will need power to go through the snow without getting bogged down.

700 Polaris Sportsman, will post pics as soon as I get the new wheels and tires on....

Nice setup. Wish we could use side by sides here in Dane County. We have to have flotation on our ATV's (black box on the back rack). The pic doesn't do the back rack justice. It's much larger in person. I will take better pics of my setup this weekend when I get a chance to take them.

[slammer]

ncesi, nice rig. What size(cc) is your wheeler? What brand tracks do you run?

[Mike Stark]

Nice Lee.

[low277]

Nice setup Lee! Did your tracks come a Michigan company? If so, how do you like them?

Do you have issues with your rack and counter-suspension with the support bars leading down to the frame near the hitch? The rack would be allowed to freely move, but the support bars would be fixed. Just curious as I though about this support system and I couldn't help but think of future issues.

No. Everything is extremely solid. I can actually pick up the quad's back wheels off the ground by grabbing the rack extension and nothing flexes at all. I can take better pics this weekend if you want. The pictures on their HSOforum don't do the rack justice.

[LakeDocktor]

I would be concerned that it is solid. The top half of the ATV is moving with the suspension, but with the support bars connected before the suspension, there is no give. This would put more pressure on your ATV's rear rack as well as the back rack.

All of these pictures are really making me anxious to get mine back from getting a wrap put on and put back together. I can't wait to post some pictures!

my tracks are American truck tracks. Great for on the lake. I have never had a track problem on the water, only a truck problem (LOL).
