  • I create the ultimate Hole Hopper. The ability to run and gun without hauling around a bunch of gear. Taking only the necessities you need to mobile ice fish and compact them into a sled. Sled holds my clam plate auger attachment on a 8" mora auger, and hummingbird ice 35.

    14:51 “if I get 100 subs…” 11 days later 300+. Ingenious setup. You will definitely get the whole Upper Midwest on this video and your idea. 👌

    Trivia - do you know why we call it a dash board? Horse drawn carriages used to have a curved front that would prevent mud from reaching the riders when horses would dash. The name carried over to motorized vehicles. Great build and tips!

    Put the rope at the end of your skis for easier towing. Also it helps to have it on the downward side of the skis, attached to an eyebolt and a carabiner clip . Otherwise it looks really nice!

    Nice job man...I like it...I have been ice fishing for 50+ years. Still do not have an auger (home made spud/blade - can punch a hole in 8" of ice in a few minutes and I need the exercise 😁), I have never used a fish finder - still seem to find fish. Do not have a shanty...just insulated coveralls and really good boots. Other than that it looks like u travel pretty light!
    I like the idea of a sled rather than carrying a couple pails and a spud!
    As I get older I do like the look of your battery drill auger...one day! 😁
    Thanks for doing the video!

      I too ice fished for over 50 years, I had augers for most of that, manual early season, gas or battery later on, I only use a spud to re open holes I have previously augered a day prior, we get 3 - 4 feet of ice and when you fish almost daily like I do, an auger is the only way to go.

    • @michaellippmann4474
      @michaellippmann4474 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Dunk lol...I have never had to go through that much ice...yes I would have an gas powered auger doing that!!!
      I did break down and buy a manual auger on sale last March (had shoulder surgery and driving the spud down just created agony) and using that auger worked out great - one time late season ice. Most ice I had to go through was 18" with it. Usually I only have to deal with 6 - 8".
      This season is looking pretty bad so far...I look out my window and the lake is still open where I am.
      Have a great season!

  • @buckkuhlmann3461
    @buckkuhlmann3461 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Looks good but you should put your rope through the ski tips , it will help it pull even easier by adding lift to the front. Just drill holes through the tips and put rope through and add a washer for strength. Otherwise looks good.

    I like it but it’s definitely pared down to bare minimum, like sniper jigging. What would be your idea if you needed to add on, say 1. Five gallon bait bucket
    2. Storage for excess clothes
    3. Storage for a few traps
    4. Food and beverages
    You’ve got room in the bucket but then you have no room for kept fish…
