Everything frown. I have a pole and some gear and that's it. I'm hoping now that I am living in house with a garage to pick up a portable that will fit in my car's trunk. Any suggestions? I've heard they are out there.

Good fishing company wouldn't be too bad either, I'm moving to the other end of the metro and don't know the lakes too well up there. All I have fished is Eagle in Maple Grove.

MNGirl...Frabill has a new Hub Style pop up tent called the "Frontier" that is 8" by 8" by 43" long folder in it's case, and 60" by 60" by 67" tall all set up...weight is 18 lbs and will run $179.00.

Add a small Otter sled, a Little Buddy Mr. Heater, a folding camp chair, a rubber car mat to put you feet on, all that will fit in the trunk with your rod and tackle and a pail to toss them keepers in, and your light and mobile.

I bought a Frabill Recon DLX last year and it fit's in the trunk of my Jetta pretty snugly. I had to take the bench seat off of it and replace it with a 5 gallon bucket, but really I would have had one of them with me anyway for my flasher/tip-ups.

It's a great little flip-up, the only problem is that it doesn't have a door, so you have to flip it up to get in or out which isn't such a bad thing. The best part is that it's about as mobile as you can get while still being in a shelter. It weighs about under 50lbs so getting it in or out is pretty easy.

For <$200 new FF, it was a great buy.

Anyone know when stores start carrying ice gear?

I need more must have glow red chubby darters to go with the other ones that I never use. haha.

Seriously, I need a new Lantern for the portable and maybe another rod.

Nope...what you will need is a few of the NEW Holographic Chubbys...and than decide if ya use them or not. wink

look in to the hub style portables. I have an Eskimo quick fish 3. it will fit in to your trunk just fine. It fits two people comfortably plus all your gear. it folds up and slides in to a bag. just pick up a sled at FF and a 5 gallon pail and you are set.

I am pretty happy with the stuff I have an Arctic Armour or similar suit would be a nice addition. Cold weather,solid ice and no flooding or slush would be nice also. My camper rig hasen't been out the last two years because of the slush...less hassels useing the snowmobile and portable.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
