maksuttt Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Sunday morning, BBP parking lot, bunch of buddies waiting to get on the ice… What do you usually expect from a fishing trip? Catching fish, having fun, getting some challenge… Right combination of those factors is a recipe for the perfect fishing day. Day was starting slow: fish was where, but not really interested in lures presentation. Early AM produced several lakers: two in +10lb range. All caught in +100’. The action slowed down even more by noontime: moving around didn’t help much – a few lost fish, and couple little lakers weren’t a big consolation… So, it was time to have lunch! I have to say it again: I love portable BBQ!!! Hot dogs on the lake – what’s could be better?!? Thanks, Matt! Most of us left ice by 3PM. I got to the shore with a modest personal result 7:3 (lakers), but in a great mood! Nice to be out fishing! After a long time being against the idea, I have to admit now: portable ice hut is the way to go. I am a happy owner of a new Frabill Commando single person shanty – this Sunday was first time out with it. It’s light (I don’t use stock seat and mounting frame), sets up in seconds, has a zipped door and most important – it fits in my Toyota Echo!!! Max PS: pictures will be uploaded tonight Edited January 19, 2010 by maksuttt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skud Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Bigger the group the better chance of someone hooking up with a fish adding to the fun and excitement. Those are some nice fish in your pics. I will be out on Sunday morning again. I will keep an eye out for you and your new hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basketclam Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've got a question for you maksuttt, regarding your portable hut. How do you fit it into the Echo? Back seat? Trunk? I was looking into getting a portable hut and decided against it because of the difficulty of transporting some of the "portable" models. I also happen to drive an Echo.

Anyway, see you on the ice! We were fishing +100' I tried shallower water with no success: marked a lot of bait, but no big fish. 2basketclam: If you want to get the Frabill Commando into the Echo, you need to unbolt backs of the rear seats and the mounting bracket on the floor. 6 bolts - 5 minutes of work... It fits tightly! Clams won't fit, they have taller plastic sleds. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
