Otter flip over

[BigRoy]

Well I cant leave well enough alone. On recommendation of the users of this forum I purchased a north land 5X8 spear-house from canvas craft couple of years ago. I did all of the recommended upgrades while putting it together- painted floor with black oil base paint and black olefin carpet. While I was out on Maple on Friday I started to wonder what it would be like to spear out of one of canvas crafts flip over fish houses. I think there would be a ton of stuff that I could do to make a sled type way more efficient in regards to set up and storage would be greatly improved. Any one here spear out of one these units? Pros and cons? I love my northlander but it might be time for an upgrade.

Thanks

I've speared out of the flip styles quite a bit. They work out alright the only problem is dancing around that big hole getting in and out. The heater tends to turn the inside into a skating rink. Aside from a perm I personally don't think there's anything more comfortable to spear out of than a Canvas Craft style 5x8.

I was debating getting a flip style house this year and opted for a hub style. I had it out last weekend and loved spearing out of it. I have the 6x8 and there was more than enough room for 3 guys w/gear. I can throw it right on the wheeler with all my gear and not have to worry about pulling anything. Once I can drive out I'll go back to the suitcase.

I see we spear the same neck of the woods. How did you do on Maple? I was just south of Annandale Sunday and didn't see a thing. I thought about swinging in to Maple on my way home but it was getting late. We may have to compare notes and hook up this winter.

I had a shappel 6000 pop up and the wind had its way with it last year and broke the hub. I didn't see any fish last Friday on maple but I was only out for about an hour and a half. I will try and move out a little deeper later in the week.
