motion Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hi guys. I am looking to take a couple of friends out this upcoming week-end for some perch. I am currently using a Calm Kodiak so fishing with friends is not possible. I would like to purchase a pop-up style of hut that can house 3-4 guys and our gear. Any recommendations on a make and/or model? I was hoping not to break the bank on this one as it will only be used a couple of times a year. I did see one at Lebarons made by HT and also one on the Costco website. Does anybody know who may have one in stock? Thanks in advance for your help.
scugpg Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I would highly recommend the Eskimo quickfish pop-ups from what I've seen. The 3 man is really a 2 man I would say so you're probably looking at a bigger model which is the Quick fish 4. Check Costco as they had some that I believe are Eskimo rebranded but not sure.

Thanks Scugog. Have you seen them recently at any Costco?
Uncle Buck Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I have the east man 4man ice cube.. 4 man = 2 comfortable with heater, sonar, minnow bucket and cooler inside without rubbing each other... Clam Summit should fish 3 people comfortably...
2advanced Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I bought the last one at Costco within 400km radius of Toronto lol You can try calling Barrie but I'm pretty sure they will not stock it again. Only other place was Sudbury I did return my 3 man hut to Barrie so you might be able to purchase that one??? Try calling
perchslayer666 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 If your fishing with 4 guys, buy the 6 man hut, you'll be much more comfortable. I bought the Frabill 6 man, and it's got more than enough room for a good party on the ice. As for where to find one, call Lebarons for the HT 6 man, as Costco is solf out for the year.... Or, order online and ship to a close to border UPS store, and pick it up there.... At this point in the season, pretty much all stores are sold out of the essential ice gear. The best time of year to buy ice gear is November to December because they'll have what you want in stock.

2advanced Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Costco still has the 6 man version for 280$. Ships from bc so not sure if it will be here by Friday?
2advanced Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Don't buy the HT the build quality seems crummy IMO The Costco one is very comparable to the Eskimo
motion Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Lebarons is sold out of all pop-ups and Costco has them available only online The 6 man is $279.00 including shipping. I don't know if anyone else has any left in stock.
scugpg Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Call angling outfitters in woodstock saw a 6 man there the other day it was an eskimo.

perchslayer666 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I'm pretty sure BPS has the thermal 6-8 man hut, it's $500 though...

Jonny Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I bought an Eskimo Quickfish 3 from Costco last year. Well-made, and I can't imagine anything that would be easier to set up and take down. And it fits back in the carry bag! Plenty of room for two people and lots of gear, room for three if you only put two holes inside and the rest outside. The bowed-out sides make it seem much roomier than you would think. See here... http://www.ofncommun...=1entry425142 I'd have a good hard look to see if you can find one. Edited February 1, 2011 by Jocko
gaspumper Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 To bad you arn't closer to Belleville Canadian Tire has the 4 man Sub Zero pop up (72x72x84h) clearance $219.00,had 4 left as of today.
strik Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Have the eskimo Quick flip three used it on sunday with three guys it was tight but it worked best for two guys. Has been a great pop up best of luck
motion Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 What did you end up finding motion? Nothing yet. Everyone seems to be out of stock. Not the right time to be looking for one. I can order the 6 man from Costco.ca but I think it is a little big for me. I'll keep looking an hopefully someone will be selling theirs or I can find a deal somewhere closer to Toronto. Thanks.
