Clam Yukon TC

[jwmiller33]

Santa brought me a new portable! It is a Clam Yukon TC and I just got it home and put together and I must say I really like the space this has. We also have 2 Frabill Predators which I normally use, and they are made of a lot bigger sled (granted its a 3 person compared to the Yukon being a 2) but the actual amount of space infront of you is very similar. The large amount of space infront of you is my favorite part about this new fish house

I have some questions for anyone that owns a Yukon TC..... How warm are they? I read on their HSOforum about the Thermal Cap roof and stuff, but the walls seemed kind of thin (compared to the thinsulated Frabills I'm used to), so I am thinking I am going to be bringing the big buddy and not the buddy heater along which isnt really a big deal

Also, I have a stikemaster 10in pro lazer and it seems to be a pretty tight fit to get it into the sled. I am worried about the tent catching on a piece of the auger and ripping during one of the hundreds of times I am going to be putting the auger in and out of that spot for transportation purposes. Besides getting a auger carrying rack, does anybody have any hints for storing the auger in the Yukon sled for transportation? Thanks much

I have the regular Yukon so I have all thin stuff. I also run a Jiffy 8" but I still have room to spare. As long as you have a blade cover there shouldn't be much concern. Pack carefully. I have an huge gear bag that takes 8 combos +, my vex, tip ups, scoop, like 8 fly boxes and a ton of other carp and that slides right under the seats leaving plenty of room for the auger, heater + tanks, cam, cooler and whatever else I feel the need to drag all over the lake. I did my own thermal job with some Refletix and my Little Buddy does just fine by me.

I use to have a regular yukon and my 10in strikemaster fit in the sled on top of the canvas and never had a problem. Everything we needed always fit in the sled. I almost always fished with another person and never had issues.

I'm now a fan of the hub-style shacks, I'm sure you'll like the yukon the only thing I didn't like is you can't stand up to strech or anything. Not enough room IMO

Put in a hookup for your seats for quick removal by pulling a pin instead of the bolts. The best place for the auger would be under the seats. I bought a nils this fall, have to uncouple to fit in the sled,auger works great fits without removing the seat. I only use a regular buddy heater, have fished at -16 holes freeze over pretty quick still able to fish. 5 degrees and above the buddy put out plenty of heat for me.

I own the Yukon TC and my regular Buddy Heater warms it up just fine. Also the Strikemaster 8 in. I have fits nicely next to the seats. I pack everything else in around it; rod bag and Marcum I put underneath the seats.
