What portable fish house do you have?

I have a Frabill Magnum GT, and I absolutely love it. It has two storage lockers in the bottom, built in rod holders, and fishes three guys. The seats are free standing so there is no bar runing through the middle of the sled. I recomend it for any one thinking about making their first purchase, or as an ugrade.

Otter Lodge - Primary shack, added refletix on the roof and otter swivel seats this past winter ... VERY cozy even at -16 degrees outside.

Also have FT Pro and Eskimo Quickfish 6 when I need romm for 3-6 people in one shack.

I have a Fish trap Yukon, that I might or might not use next year, as for now I like to get my fix and sit in it during the summer time and drink beer. smile

This fall I am getting a Canvas Craft Med with NorPacR2. I saw one last winter and was very impressed...

I've got an old clam that I still use!!! Get's the job done, but this year I really need to invest in a decent flip over. I hear the Canvas Crafts are great! It'll be either one of them or an Otter.

Was this picked up in N Fargo today? Saw one at a garage sale that the lady wanted to get rid of for almost nothing.

Yup,that's probably the one!

All I've got is a one man Frabill flip-over. For me it's great, but when I try to get the girlfriend out, it's not so great.

I'm trying to convince her we need a Clam pop-up, but I'm not sure it's going to make the budget cuts.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
