Guest overundergun Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have seen many types and models . The latest was a type of chairs that you flip the top over. Pretty cool and easy to transport. Do you use any portable shelter? It is so dark inside do you actually see down there? How do you like them?

craig mack Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have a Clam 5600. Its a 2 man cabin style shanty. I like it, but if I could go back, I would have bought the flip style 2 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Frabill Trekker, love it, won't go ice fishing without. Also have an older 4 person Clam shelter that is w/o seats, love it too, but the Frabill is nice (also about 14 years newer). Get one, you won't leave without it!

muggs Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 If you have the money to spend, the Fish Trap (pretty sure that's the name) is the way to go. It was invented by Dave Gentz who's pretty much an ice fishing legend. Great design and it's super portable. They're not cheap though. The Clam is another good one. My buddy has the base model Frabill (could be the same one bluelund mentioned). It's pretty bare bones, but I like it. Best part is the price. I saw them up at Gander for $180. Good little shanty for that price IMO. I've fished out of it a lot. He's taken it out on Erie, up to Canada, and all over the inland Ohio lakes and it's held up nice.

ate1cropy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have the fish trap yukon...LOVE IT! I have fished in many houses but the fish trap style is my favorite. Like it was said above they are expensive, I bought mine used to save money. I can fit all of my gear inside making it easy to move around and easy to store all my gear.

whitetailtrax Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I just bought and Eskimo QuickFish3 and used it for the first time this last weekend. Very happy with it so far. It's much like a portable hunting blind. Fits in a bag that has a shoulder harnass for packing it to your fishing spot and then it literally just pops up and you anchor it to the ice (if windy). Has on open bottom and no seats which allows flexibility on how many holes and people you want in there (Fits 3 people comfortably and 4 ok too). Picked it up new at Sportsmans Warehouse for $189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
