Fish House Gallery


Reynolds

Recommended Posts

I was just browsing through the open water forum and noticed that someone had started a gallery of fmers personal boats. I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same with fish houses. I am planning on building a permanent one myself and think it would be great if there was a fish house gallery to give people like me some more ideas as to what all to include in such a project. I am sure people have come up with some good ideas that most of us wouldn't normally think of.

This is my house I built back in 1998. Its 8 x 22. This summer I am going to build another 8x16 w/ a V-nose. I strongly reccommend planning the interior first especially the hole placement before deciding on what how the floor structure is designed. I see too many houses that the holes were the last thought and not the first. Its what you look at the most all day! Decide the layout then build the floor so the cross members arent going to interfere. Just my 2 cents! grin.gif

Thought I would dig up this old post since tis the season. I am going to try and take some pictures following the progress of my remodeling of my interior. I was able to spend a weekend back home in MN last week and much to my dismay I was not allowed by the resort owner to do any work on my house because of deer hunting. Aarghh tongue.gif. Anyways, hope to see some pics of some of your houses so I can get some ideas; plus they are just plain fun to look at. Not exactly sure how I am going to go about building a booth that converts into a double bed just yet. Would like to make it so the benches flip up and provide storage.

Norden,

I just had to pipe in on your photos. Your children look like they spend allot of time with Dad at the fish house and enjoy it, love the two in bed watching TV. I have two younger boys and can't wait to do the same. Great inspiration for me.

Thanks,

mr

The blue things are clothes bags that button to the wall so we have a place to ditch the dirty laundry. They are made of canvas and have zippers. We usually stay 3+ days and the kids tend to get dirty.

It was a lot of fun working on the house. I think I spent another $800 to fix it up but that included catch covers, rattle reels, foam, and everything else. I took it down to store in Hastings until ice and it pulled pretty good. Just need to stock it with a few more things and its ready!

Kylesrk.. all I can say is WOW!! That is one nice looking fish house. Congrats. If I can ask, how long did the construction take and how much did it cost? I've been kicking the idea around of getting a permanent, but not sure if I could pull something off like you did, or if I should just buy one.. [email protected]

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
