New Portable for 2009!!


Recommended Posts

Introducing the new NTS Fisherman's Portable!!

This winter, I had the opportunity of putting two new Fisherman’s Portables made by Northern Toboggan & Sled to the test. What an incredible product!! I am amazed at the ease of set up, storage capacity, durability, and comfort of this innovative combination.

Here are some action photos from the season:

The model above features the Otter Pro-Series Ice Lodge. The Otter Magnum Sled is replaced with the wooden NTS Freight Sled using a custom adapter box. This set up is complete with interior/exterior storage, exterior auger mounting system, and superior quality steel snowmobile hitch equipped with a slush guard.

This model features the NorpacR2 from Canvas Craft, an amazing house for the really cold days.

The wooden framing used with these products allows for maximum customization. The compartment under the seat is perfect for a custom rod holder, tackle, and Vexilar storage that is snow-free and well protected. The outside compartment keeps my propane tank (plumbed into the house), auger, buckets, and extra gas separate from the interior storage.

NTS uses their proven Freight Sled as the base of the construction which provides an exceptionally smooth ride, no matter what terrain you may be crossing. I’ve put as many as 60 tough miles per day on mine crossing LOW getting to my distant fishing spots. Most of the time I didn’t even know it was behind me… best of all, all of my equipment stays organized and in one piece.

With maximum ease and comfort, fishing this past winter was a blast with these high quality, innovative portables from Northern Toboggan & Sled. I even caught a few fish!

I ran one of these houses almost all of last winter. It is everything that I thought it would be and more! I can set it up or tear it down in under a minute. Everything stays organized and in it's place, most importantly know more having to deal with the problem of what to do with the propane tank or my flasher. Everything stays right where it is suppose to.

Here are a couple of mine after I added a few mods.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
