Ice fishing sled

Anybody here do hard water fishing what do you use for a sled to carry out all of your Chit?

When I was a kid I did allot of Ice fishing,we would pile the toboggans up with traps,shiners,food,skates & a hockey stick and that worked fine back in the day,well now that I've grown up a little and have a bit of a brain I figured I'd build one.

I thought about making one & build the frame out of wood then thought of a metal one and finally decided on PVC with some plywood.I sketched up a plan and made a stock list.I designed a sled that would hold the normal stuff for a day on the ice, like a bucket of shiners,some extra clothes,a cooler,a 20# bottle of propane,portable gas grill and a deep firer,yeah so what I went a little over board

On the way home from work I stopped @ Homies and picked up most of the stock and started to build once I got home.I worked until it got dark out & made some good progress,I'll take some pics tomorrow,I hope to Finnish by Friday cause the maiden voyage is Saturday with my Son.
I'll post pics as I go & the final ones on Saturady with my son.


So in the mean time please post some pics and show off what you've made and give me some idea's on what I can do to make mine a little better.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need
