metrojoe Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've got a 4X8 suit case style that comes in handy when I bring the kids. I also have an old one man Otter sled with an Otter skin on it.(from the dim time) I've got 2 Fish Traps. One is an old Fish Trap II(pre Pro era)that was used well and is still usable. And my current portable is a one man Fish Trap Pro. So I guess that is 4 portables.The 2 older one man portables will go up for sale in the near future, unless my boys express interest in either of them.

Orlip Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I had 3. Just sold my permanent so now I have a Voyager and a 4x6 that is homemade and 20+ years old. Maybe its time to upgrade that one?????? This is turning out to be a CI index like in Garage Logic. What would the appropriate number of house's be for a persons age???

iland99 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've had an Eskimo Quickflip III for about 3 years now, and I just picked up a Fishtrap Scout for Christmas this year. I love it! I don't think the Eskimo will be seeing the ice much anymore, unless I'm fishing with people that don't have their own house. That rarely happens anymore.

Bjjams Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've got a Fishtrap II, Fishtrap Voyageur, 6.5 x 14 Dandy (permanent). I'm still on the lookout for a Fishtrap I. You can never have too many fish houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod32 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have three portables and a permanent. Frabill Ultra-Light...used when it is just me or for early/late ice. I have a Speed Shak...probably my favorite for two people. Both of those are rigged up to be pulled with the ATV.And I have an Arctic Caboose. I love that set up on our extended fishing trips, when we stay at the resorts. It can stay hooked up to the truck all week/weekend, is ready to go in a flash, and doesn't take up cargo space in the box. Hmmm...maybe what I really need is a bigger truck...And while we're at it, I have two augers and two Vexilars, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntingislife Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have: Otter Den - which I use when I am by myself. That thing is so light and easy to move. Otter Lodge - I use this whenever I fish with somebody else. Its a little too big for just me. I then have my permanent that I just set on URL. I also have a Otter Cabin sled that I was thinking of buying the canvas for. But I am just not sure if I need another house. But it would be nice though, right? Last year at this time I didn't even have an ice house so I think I improved a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtrapgirl Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My husband and I have a Fish Trap X2 that we use when we both go fishing. We also have a Fish Trap Pro for the times when just one of us goes. fishtrapgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieAttitude Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have an early model Fish Trap (1 Man) the one with the deeper sled and a shelf in the back. This works great for early ice and when you want the solitude of fishing alone.How many others out there still have their "originals?"I just purchased an Otter Lodge this year and I absolutely love the room. I Don't use the Fish Trap as much any more, but am not about to get rid of it either.CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have a Fish Trap Magnum Deluxe for solo serious fishing.A Shoremaster Voyageur X-Treme doublewide for social fishing.And I just picked up a Pak Shack for fishing out in the middle of no-where.

fishin maniac Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm a junkie. 4 flipovers: 1 trap pro, 1 trap voyager, 1 frabil solo, 1 frabil ultralite. 3 sleds: 1 Otter magnum (trying to resist the shelter) 2 frabil ice shuttles( used the most for run and gun). 2 augers and 2 marcums and an avquavue scout. Just as bad with open water and hunting stuff. Bad side to this is I have to rent a storage facility to store it all. Good side is anybody I fish with doesn't need a thing. I also walk into a sporting goods store and very seldom find anything I need to buy anymore. Hey , whats the saying: He who dies with the most toys wins right?

S.D. Ice Angular Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have a Voyager as my main house.But I also have some El-Cheapo version that I won at a Whitetail Unlimited Banquet that I use once in a while. It is made of that same material most people refer to as “Blue Tarp” material, not the warmest.I am now looking for a smaller 1 or lets say 1-1/2 man house just for myself… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have three different portable houses. All set up for spearing. There all different sizes. One is a one person, one is a two person, and one has two holes cut in it, on different ends for one person, which is me LOL. great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Slabber Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think it's only natural to have at least two portables. Sounds like most people have one for going solo and one for company. It's a must, especailly when you have kids. I've got the Eskimo QuickFlip for myself and the Clam 5600 for visitors. Sure is nice to have the option Powerstroke.

ScottND Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I had 3 and a hardside but I sold my Otter resort to buy goose decoys which left me with the hardside, an Otter Den and a HT one man. I might use the Den this weekend, to keep the holes open longer, but normally I move to much and they become a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
