Eskimo Quick Hut

Recommended Posts

Carp-fisher and myself both have the quickfish III and are quite happy with them. Light weight and quick to set up. Do a search in the equipment and expert information forum and use Eskimo Quick Fish and go back about a year and there is a lot of info in there.

If you are talking about the Eskimo Quickfish models, I own a Quickfish III. Click on the link below for a video of me using it last season:

The Quickfish III can fish 3 people or 2 guys and a whole pile of gear. It weighs about 20 pounds and fits in the backseat of any car and I can stand up in it (I'm 6'2"). For less than 200 bucks, you'll never find a better portable ice house.

Its pretty slick to pack up. Typically what I do is carry a small bungee cord to make it easier. If I want to take the house down and move spots, I just pop the poles back down and put the bungee cord on the end to hold them in place. If you are moving quite abit, its unnecessary to put the house pack in its carrying case, the bungee does just fine.

I have a hunting blind that is identical to this design. I used it a few times last year while fishing to see how it worked and I must say it was slick. Very portable and very fast to put up/take down. I would have mine tore down, packed up and half way off the lake before my brother was even close to having his flip-over packed up. The only negative I had was the wind. If you don't anchor it in the wind, it is a real parachute. But once secured, it was very sturdy. I would just tie mine to my vehicle and auger.

    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
