buddha Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Just got an ATV and fired up to use it for ice fishing. What do the rest of you use for holding your auger and what type of rack do you have to hold your other equipment like buckets and things like that. I have a Yukon but I don't like hauling everything in that if I can help it. Any advice on what's worked is helpful. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFishy* Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Mad Dog Auger Holder, GPS Mount(if needed)and a set of Symtec Hand and Thumb Warmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIN DRY Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I just made one out of plywood and 2x2. Just took everything and laid it out and built a box around it. Works great holds three buckets, flasher, auger and heater. Just starp it on the back of the 4 wheeler and away we go. I leave it on there trailing also, I have lids for my buckets. Doesn't look as fancy as the other ones out there, but it fits the budget. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumper Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Here is my set up. Used basically t HD gun racks for the auger rack. They are mounted on a storage box on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

only ice Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 In the Auto dep. at WalMart You can find a set of Jaws that clamp on your racks. They sell them in other sporting stores, but much cheeper there. They have alot of ATV stuff!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_on Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I cut a 5 gallon bucket in half and zip tied it to my front rack. I use that as my bucket holder. I have an auger holder on the back. That is it. I can get my rods and jigs, along with my Vex into my bucket. I salt my own minows so I never have live bait. It doesn't look like much but I like to go with as little as possible so I can jump around a whole bunch. 2 inches on a little lake I fish near home. Should be at least a solid 3 if not more this weekend.!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I got a couple of V holders for the front at Fleet Farm for pretty cheap and they have straps to hold the auger in place. Got my GPS holder there as well. I have a bag that has a seat on it for the back of my wheeler that holds a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkhamtown Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Built this12”X12”X36” box a couple years ago and it carries auger and anything else I can pack in it really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooksetter Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hey BuddhaI sold my sled and replaced it with an ATV this year. I have been having a blast getting it set up for ice fishing. I drag around an Otter Cabin. As for carrying my Auger, I also went with the Mad Dog "V" mounts. It's pretty cheap - got mine at FF - and seems to hold it pretty tight.Have fun with your ride.

Ironranger Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 SomethingFishy,how much for and to install those tracks on your sportsman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Thanks for all the ideas, now I have some things to think about. I have a 2-up from Can-Am so I like the idea of putting things in front and keeping the seat in back for my fishing partners. Looking forward to ice, let's hope for COLD!!!
