Ron Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Just curiuos as to the new gear people have picked up for Ice fishing this year. I have down sized my hut from the Clam Yukon to the lighter weight and smaller version Frabil DLX Trekker. As I have been spending most of my time fishing for Crappie on the Kawarthas, I have also purchased a portable hand held "inspection camera" by Milwaukee. Well, the camera is for work, but I sure am excited to try it our through the ice! So if you know of anyone that is interested in buying my Clam Yukon, it's up for sale. I have already erased all the X's on the side of it though, so you won't know my Fishing spots. Well, what did you guys get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeter Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well I don't know but Im thinking there is going to be a new X67c ice machine and 2 Sienna SN500FD Spinning Reels under the tree this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 have ordered (still waiting for them to be built and waiting and waiting) 2 Thorne Brothers icefishing rods and a big rod case for them, I need one 1000 size reel to go with them and I am good to go with the ice&snow walker I built I picked up a HDS8 today the same day I just put my boat away so I will not be able to use it till spring.. $1,449.99 after mail in rebate, because of the price had to buy it, might make a great icefishing fishfinder........

Rod Caster Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Picked me up the new Jiffy Propane auger, a plastic sled...new rods reels and tackle, frabill survival suit and not sure what else I'm going to need lol :S Great items to have I'll get a plastic sled this year, but the survival suit will have to wait. So far I've picked up 2 tipups (courtesy of Leechman!), 2 jigging spoons, several pairs of small gloves and some thermal shirts. No big tickets items since I have most of what I need. What I'm missing the most? ICE!!!!! That inspection camera looks like the ultimate fish finder in clear/shallow water!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've been loading up on reels. Planning on using a stradic a sustain a quantum accurist pt courtesy of Jose and a curado 51 that I couldn't resist on sale from tacklewharehouse. I am looking to get a x-67 ice machine I think and a survival suit, plus a larger auger, as I would like to target lake trout this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I bought a new taller glass and a refrigerator to dispense the ice. I have the Ridgid Inspection unit and the field of vision is very limited it is around 3ft then it becomes blurry. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishnwire Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm building a hut. 12' x 8', fully insulated...will sleep two and fish four. Not only will you be able to take off your coat and be comfortable...you'll be able to take off your boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfowlr Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 How much for the hut?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishnwire Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 How much for the hut?? So far I've spent about $560 and four days...and have really nice runners and part of the floor to show for it. I figure I'll come in around $1200 before I even put the stove in, wire it up, build the bunks, or tin the roof. The insulation I choose costs about twice to three times as much as the plywood. I'm also spending a ton of money on dumb stuff like construction adhesive, nuts and bolts, screws, decent used windows and a door...it all adds up. It's OK though because my recently deceased grandmother left me and her other grandchildren a couple grand or so each with strict instructions that the money be enjoyed by the recipients how they see fit...the wife can say nothing. I'll try to put some pics up in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefboi17 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I got myself a x67c ice machine, and from the sound of it, i made a good choice lol. Anyone know where I might be able to find a micro fin bore? I have a 8" normal fin bore that I just got, but that micro one looks like it would be a lot easier to walk out with.
