Matt Johnson Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This year's Portable Modification Get Together is going to have a new twist to it... We're going to actually perform the mods on an Otter portable fish house. We'll have the wood, lights, tools, etc, and we'll put it together throughout the day. Paul Waldowski and Rick Paquin will be decking out an Otter fish house, right in front of everyone! Here's a reminder of the date and location... Date: Saturday, September 23 Location: Front lawn at Art Barbarians in Rogers, MN For map and directions click here. The guys at Art Barbarians (one of FM's sponsors) are willing to host the event in the front lawn of their store. Art Barbarians faces 94 and is only about a mile from Cabelas. Start time is around 10am and we'll be grillin',talkin' fishing, and modifying portables all day! There will be a grill there and 50 hamburgers have been donated by FM Member "love to hunt" and Paul Waldowski has donated buns, ketchup, mustard, pickles and chips. So if you want to bring something else for the grill then that's fine. And it's BYOB for beverages. Last year we had a lot of people who brought along their portable fish houses to show off and gather new ideas and this year looks to be another fun day of show and tell!

wolfman-k Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Matt, I don't suppose they would want to do the Mods on my Otter double-wide, it could be twice the fun! This is sounding better all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek Kid Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 This sounds like a way cool event! As luck would have it, there are a dozen of us headed north for our annual fishing trip and we should be right around Rogers around 10 a.m. We'll have open water vehicles but don't throw eggs or think we're protesting if we stop. Ice is not far off. BTW... will there be stuff for sale or is it just demos and idea trading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'll volunteer my portable to be the one modified! Sounds like fun! I just can't make it at 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Waldowski Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Lost, Sorry but Otter Outdoors has already donated a Medium Cabin for this event. You don't need to be there right at 10:00 as this will pretty much be an all day affair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaZyDayZ Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 What is going to be done with the cabin once it is modded?Is it going to be sold, used as a prize at some point in time or are you lucky enough to get to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 The modified Otter portable will be used for our upcoming ice fishing shows and events. We'll be using it when we film our IceLeader shows and we'll also have it on display at our various IceLeader Get Togethers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Johnson Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 If it rains then I guess we'll have to all make a trip over to Cabela's or something We might get some breaks in the rain on and off, and we can also spend sometime inside Art Barbarians if we want as well. We'll just have to see what the weather throws at us tomorrow. I'll be there in the morning, rain or shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
