SandCarp- Welcome to FishingMinnesota and hope you enjoy your stay with us!

If I'm not mistaken, there were a few threads as the ice fishing itch started months ago. Take a look here Equipment- Expert Information and do a search in there on floor plans.

I'd love to give help, but when it comes to a permanent fish house I'm no help....sorry. Though you'll find plenty of help here and never feel afraid to ask.

Welcome!!

When I built my 16'crank down, one of my main objectives was to have some holes at each end of the house. If my house is 16'long, I want holes as close to 16' apart as possible so I can cover more surface area within the house. And if you locate a sharp break, you can fish multiple elevations from one house set. So many of the floor plans I see have bunks or counters on the end walls. They're hole clusters are sometimes no further apart than the hole pattern of my 6'x 8' portable! ???

Just my opinion.......Good luck!

I have an 8 x 22 on wheels I designed and won 2nd place overall for the design from the Minnesota Windsor Whiskey Contest in 2000 and was on display in St Paul. My floor is 3.5 inches off the ice which keeps holes open and neck and back strain down, no one faces the corner or wall when you fish, everyone faces each other. Kitchen, bath, sink, TV etc... 12 holes and sleeps 6. I think I still have most of the plans I drew up here in a folder and most of the materials list. The whole thing is steel and will never come apart, and is lighter than most any wood one I've ever come across in that size. Email me if intersted in my design or pics. capt joel @fishontheline .com

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • 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?
