waligators Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 How many of you guys are leaving/taking your houses onto the ice this weekend? Haven't had my house out yet this year (6'6"x17' / 2,200 lbs)and Ive got the itch something fierce! But, I don't want any issues either with possibly sinking it. The lake I want to hit had a good 12" before this warm up. Would be pulling it out with a wheeler and back off the ice tomorrow. Where I live was 37 degrees yesterday and suppose to hit 43 today, but the wind is only suppose to be 10 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I would do what you feel is safe and what u r comfortable with. I would not leave it overnight, take it out and fish and take it back if nothing more than not having to worry about it. Better safe than sorry, why chance it over some fish. I have not had my wheel house out in south central and won't till it gets colder. Some in my area do and that's fine, guess I do not want to b at home and have to worry about it.

Gissert Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I pulled my 7 x 10 spear shack on wheels yesterday. Hole was starting to wash, and when they do that you can go from no problem to BIG problem in a few hours. It might have been okay, but I slept better knowing it was on shore. I can easily pull it back down when it tightens up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallard1975 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Had my 6 1/2 x 14 wheel house out in central mn. all of last weekend until yesterday pulled off last night just not worth worrying about it. Not to mention all the time and money we have invested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlmouth Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Pull it off. Chance of rain today and tomorrow. Warm again on monday, then cooling off. Next weekend should be good to go again but get your ice cleats and chains on the 4 wheelers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
